It’s an issue of motivation. Vanity is a powerful motivator. People who want to work out for health and wellbeing need to find a different way to motivate themselves. A health scare can sometimes help with that (I’ve witnessed it) but it doesn’t always last (also witnessed that).
Vanity is linked to narcissism. All narcissist are assholes.
It’s too bad that many link places to exercise with vanity.
The link is to the majority of people who exercise because they are vain. Not the place.
And my point is they shouldn’t be the majority.
But given the situation they always will be.
