I could not fathom driving a hour to gym. Convenience is key, to me. I live three blocks from my gym, but I only use it when the weather precludes me from running outside of doors, which is rare. I have a small window within to exercise, and I’m looking for any excuse to not do it, and so two hours of travel is such an easy excuse.
That being said, I live in Jersey, and to me, a drive beyond 30 minutes needs to really be a worthwhile destination, so it definitely matters where you’re from. I visited some friends in Montana and the joke was that everything is two hours away. Wanna climb? Two hours. Float? Two hours. Airport? Obviously, two hours.
lol … this is Canada and in rural southern Ontario in farm country by default, everything is one hour away.
I live in far northern Ontario about an hour for any major city - a convenience store and a pizza joint is five minutes away - everything else is two hours away. Away from the cities in Canada, we measure distance by time … we don’t measure in miles or kilometers, we usually measure distance by the hour.
