What is the difference between joining a gym with no membership and just exercising on your own? 🤔

 

I guess the difference is the full set of equipment available...  It sounds like the request is for PAYG access rather than a flat annual or monthly fee.

 

I'd suggest that proximity is actually hugely important.  I've been members of quite a few gyms over the years, but my current gym is about 1km from home if that, and so it's extremely easy to make use of it.

I honestly wouldn't worry about the other members, nobody is actually interested in your wobbly bits, if they're fit then it's because they train hard, and if they aren't fit then they have wobbly bits of their own.

 A couple of laps around Rother Valley 20 press ups on the bridge and 20 pull ups on the nearest tree branch. Who needs a flippin gym.  Oh! and FREE fresh air.  

Then deadlift a 100kg branch, squat the same, and presumably a slightly smaller branch to bench press.

To name just the three most important compound lifts that you'd do instead of press ups (pull ups are very good).  But speaking of the pullups, many people can't do one, so they'll be looping a large rubber band thing over that tree branch as they build up, and they'll want a lat pull down machine as well to increase that strength until they can do a pull up.
