Just another feminist beat up to remain non active.

That is bs. 50% of all the people at my local gym are middle aged women

Style is number 1, exercise is number something

Yeah and so do men. At least women have women only areas. What do men get in gyms?

This is shocking news

Yes

not just for women, but I think for anyone who may be a little out of shape

Yes

This is nothing more than another excuse for giving up or not even getting started

We better close all gyms then

Totally agree. To loud and to many people. A walk is so much better as it’s free,out in fresh air, can go where you like, get vitamin d and you don’t get sweaty

Yep

No

Yes. It makes me very uncomfortable.

That’s why they are unfit.

Yes

They just loves their couch more🤷🏿‍♂️

So where do they hang the svelts in all those women's only gyms? If they are stockpiling them it needs to end because the gym I been in... Them old fellas....they don't clad, they be swingin n saggin..they need the svelts whilst using the showers lest a wayward testie cause harm

Wow what an exciting research topic ...... not !!!

Hell no, I’m 66 with lumps & bumps & attend my gym regularly. All age groups & shapes & sizes go to the gym.The young woman standing next to me in a pump class doesn’t intimidate me although she may lift heavier than I do - we are after the same goal - health.

Don't let it be. Most ppl in a gym are so into themselves, esp the svelte ones, they don't notice anyone else. Just get in there & do it. Anyone you'd care about what they'd think will think that you're great because you're trying to improve yourself. Just do it (yea yea Nike.)

I know I'm a male, but I ignore e everyone at the gym. I'm there for a workout, not a social.

That’s why I belong to an independent gym in my rural community. It’s like a family and they don’t care what you wear 3523Fitness Heathcote
