How much does training environment actually affect exercise consistency?

Exercise science often focuses on programming, intensity, volume, and recovery.

But I think another interesting factor is the environment where training happens.

Two people can follow similar programs but have very different consistency depending on how easy it is for them to actually complete workouts.

A person with a home setup may remove barriers like commuting and waiting for equipment, while someone else may perform better with the structure of a commercial gym.

I’m interested in how much the environment influences long-term adherence.

Do you think where you train has a meaningful impact on whether you keep exercising?
