This is some stuck up shit right here. People are getting out and exercising and we’re judging them for not doing it how we like. Gyms are much more than treadmills, treadmills are easier and more consistent for people starting out, the summer heat is brutal and gyms are air conditioned, or maybe you just wanna watch something to take your mind off the run itself. There’s lots of great reasons to use a treadmill at the gym.
It’s the AC for me, especially. When it’s 35-40 degrees and swampy outside, the weather is downright dangerous, especially for physical activity.
Dawg it’s 95°F out with 97%RH cmon
Exactly. Not to mention all the exhaust I have to breathe when I bike to work.
Fuck cars
Carry a gallon of water 💦
They have water at the gym
Good now we get to drink 2 gallons 🦍
Not saying this works for everyone everywhere but I just run at like 9pm
Ah yes. 9 PM, when the heat index is still 100°F.
Here’s yesterday’s peak heat index across Oklahoma. It being 99° isn’t the problem. It feeling 10 degrees hotter is.
They might live in a city that’s built for cars only and is hostile to walkers and bikers.
So fix that instead of normalizing inefficient nonsense!
Oh yeah let me just fix that real quick before I go to the gym
I live in Phoenix, Arizona and this post can go fuck itself. I TRIED to go for a walk outside the other day, and it was 109F with 40% humidity. I can do that, or I can go to the air conditioned gym…

You’re paying to be motivated by a teenager with an ego trip. Sorry, I mean a “trainer”.
Hey, some of us need that…
Then I drive another 3 miles to taco bell then I drive 20 miles to save 3 cents per gallon on $50 worth of gas, then I do workout victory burnouts in the parking lot. I DO IT BIG NINJA
Outside of temperature control as others have mentioned, there’s also a greater sense of security while exercising, showers available, and seeing others train can motivate you if you’re the competitive or visual sort. Plus treadmills are less impactful to your knees compared to trail runs so they are good for recovery/casual runners.
In all honesty, gym memberships are terrible value for money by itself. Its value comes from convenience and saving time for a person who wants to train with some consistency.
My car needs cardio too
There are no sidewalks near any of my nearest gyms ironically, and I live in a fairly large city. Just busy stroads as far as the eye can see.
So fix that instead of normalizing inefficient nonsense!
Bruh, you aint helping.
It’s really hot here, I drive a kilometer to the gym so I can run under the AC.
Just walk halfway to the gym and then give up and walk home.
How to get a 100% discount? Just ride your bike to the gym and then back home. There is no need for a subscription.
We do this because being in that specific physical space helps us do the thing.
Also it’s hot out.
I’d also add that people who don’t work out probably shouldn’t make memes about it.
Joker works out he takes on Batman in several instances just because we don’t see him at the pile or sling some iron doesn’t mean he wasn’t! Probably working on his tire flips behind the bank when we get to him in the movie.
They meant you…
Nah can’t mean me, I hit the gym.
But seriously, I know, I’m just choosing not to feed an attack over a meme with…what… proof I touch grass? Lmao none of us owe that to anyone in a shitposting sublemmy
Nice.
Walk in a climate controlled environment or out in the heat/cold? Hmm…
