Is working out in the middle of the night bad?

[aphex]

I belong to 24-hr fitness and like to go when its not buzy... (i.e. sometime from 10pm-2am)

Is it bad for me to go at this time?

Hell no!

I'm no fitness expert but other than being more tired I don't see what harm it would do.

there's a reason why it's open 24 hrs..

dont see how it can be bad for you..

doesn't relaly matter much.. but if you plan to work out heavily give at least 4 hours of rest before sleeping. i read it in Fitness and Muscle

give at least 4 hours of rest before sleeping

When I was younger and actually worked out I used to do it late at night. One night weight training and the next run 6 miles. I always did this at about 11 PM to midnight to avoid the Texas heat. I never noticed any ill affects from not working out at more conventional hours so I see no problem with you using the gym late at night to avoid crowds.

you read it in fitness and muscle...? or muscle and fitness? don't sweat working out late at night, it's not a problem... been doing it for a while... go work out around 11, get back around 130-2, take a protein shake, take a shower, watch a little tv, sleep... works great when i do it consistently... hehehe
