When it comes to hitting the road in your RV, the last thing on most people’s minds is probably setting up a portable gym. After all, isn’t the point of RV life to escape the daily grind, including those grueling workouts?

We recently asked our readers a burning question in our newsletter: “Do you have a portable gym setup in your RV?”

If you missed it, don’t worry! Make sure to vote in our future polls so you can be part of our exciting results and findings. Now, let’s dive into what our readers had to say on the matter.

Poll Results: The Great RV Gym Debate

Drumroll, please! The results are in:

  • 96% of you said “No” to having a portable gym in your RV.
  • Only a slim 4% of our adventurous readers have taken the plunge into mobile fitness.

Clearly, the majority prefer their RVs as sanctuaries of relaxation rather than mobile fitness centers. But let’s not jump to conclusions just yet; there’s more to this story than meets the eye.

The 96%: Couch Potatoes or Just Realistic?

So, why did 96% of you vote against having a portable gym in your RV? Perhaps the idea of cramming a treadmill next to your kitchenette isn’t exactly appealing. After all, who needs weights when you’ve got a perfectly good picnic table to lift? Or maybe it’s the thought of doing yoga in a confined space that makes you break out in a sweat—not from exertion, but from sheer claustrophobia. Let’s face it, RVs are meant for road trips, not reps.

The 4%: Fitness Warriors on Wheels

Now, let’s give a shout-out to the 4% who are keeping the dream of RV fitness alive. These are the folks who believe that just because you’re on the road doesn’t mean you should skip leg day. Picture this: you’re parked at a scenic overlook, and instead of lounging with a cold drink, you’re doing burpees next to your RV. Kudos to you, fitness warriors! You are the true multitaskers, blending the love of travel with the commitment to staying fit.

Conclusion: Why the Results Came In as They Did

So, why do we think the results came in the way they did? Well, RV life is often synonymous with freedom, relaxation, and the joy of exploring new places. The idea of lugging around extra equipment for a mobile gym might just feel like adding unnecessary baggage—both literally and figuratively. After all, the great outdoors offers plenty of natural ways to stay active, from hiking trails to lakes for swimming. Plus, let’s be honest, who can resist the allure of s’mores by the campfire over a set of dumbbells? In the end, it seems that for most RV enthusiasts, the open road is their gym, and Mother Nature is their personal trainer.
