How very German of you.

I understand your point in the context of "switch on" and "switch off", but the base verb "work" doesn't have many separable prefix/suffixes.

To work in? To work on (same as work)? To work about (does that mean anything)?

They'll do that anyway if the gym is successful. You ideally want a gym that's on the verge of collapsing but not backed by any VC

I wish I had a gym that was $10 a month. They closed all the gold's gym express joints a while ago. Those were gold.

"They work in an office, where they work on some problems and work around (avoid) others."

"Work about" could be used in place of the latter but would sound a bit dialectal or rustic.

There's also "He does work about the place", meaning "He performs tasks in that place.", but there the "about" is part of the following adverbial phrase rather than a specifier on "work".

I think there's probably a case for most English prepositions after "work" come to think of it. As to how useful they'd be, well, it'd be a matter of finding a list of prepositions and see which of them works out.

How about a gym that costs $3,100 a month, but you can get $100 back if you spend a hour in the gym once a day?

I finally got a power rack for home and have never looked back. I don't have all the fancy stuff, but it's easier to duck off to the basement for 45 minutes than it is to carve out a two hour block for gym time.

Initial investment was a tough pill but by this point it has paid for itself through saving me a gym membership.

There are actually more distinct meanings than I initially thought, but yeah most of them are prepositions

To work up (an appetite, an argument)
To work down (a screw, or something grinding)
To work for (prep: an employer, some hierarchy)
To work in (prep: an office, a space)
To work on (prep: a project)
To work with (prep: a person)

I'm thinking about getting one every now and then, but I find it very hard to motivate myself to work out at home. It's way easier to not abort my workout when I already went through the trouble of driving to the gym. When I'm at home there are so many things I'd rather do than getting all sweaty. I'd love to get a personal trainer, but they are so expensive.

Real talk the struggle is real and it was WAY easier to stop in at my old gym on the way home... But I just don't have the time that takes anymore, so "3 times a week most weeks" is better than "never."
