Does Size Matter?

I got into a debate today over if size matters...about gyms of course, and I decided to prove that it doesn't! I have a membership to a very large, pretty high tech gym...but I usually don't feel like driving/it's late/I don't have gas/etc. and I just end up working out at our apartment gym. It is tiny. And I mean tiny. But it gets the job done, and that is what is important, right? Another positive is that I normally get the whole place to myself which means I can go headphone free, watch whatever I want, and sing and dance while I workout! This is also a great workout for hotel gyms. I was in a "I'm bored with my workout" mood so this kept things interesting and shook up my routine!
