The extent to which this is true is probably a function of the 'trendiness' of the gym and the time of day involved.
My 'gym' is actually a portion of a council/private joint venture leisure centre. I would say that overall the majority of people I encounter there are either somewhat or significantly below average fitness, range equally in age from teens to seventies, and are definitely attending to get fitter rather than simply to be seen. Cost is below £30/month, the piped music is not completely to my taste but is at least both inoffensive and very much background quiet. The staff are super-friendly and helpful. And the only video playing is BBC News24 on silent.Snorvey wrote:... - the worst of whom are those that walk around the changing rooms naked with their junk swinging all over the place.
That, though. And arguably worse still when the owner is significantly below average fitness and/or well overweight!
Must go to the same Gym
I do roughly 4 sessions a week of Spin, but that doesn't help upper body so I do a Gym session where I concentrate on upper body, which includes a session on the rowing machine. To my way of thinking they do a different job. One does the legs and the other the upper body......
