It's time for me to start lifting again. That's not up for debate. I have to choose between two gyms and i don't know which one is the best option.

Option 1: This gym is one hour drive from work, a little more from my house. This gym is small, fewer people and fewer training equipment. A friend of mine goes there so we will motivate each other. He's a very good friend with a personal trainer and he thinks this trainer will introduce us to everyone, girls included. I can't tell if that is a good thing or bad. I'm afraid that i'll use the distance for an excuse to not going. Also because of the long drive i can't do literally anything after. If i want to do something social i have to skip training.

Option 2: This gym is between my work and home, perfect location to stop daily after work. Bigger gym, more people, better equipment and better personal trainer. But i'll be training alone. I'm afraid that alone i won't train as hard as i can.

Which one should i choose?

Feel free to ask any questions.

EDIT: I choosed option 2. Thank you again for your suggestions.
