First off I have no clothes you'd ever wear to a gym. I wear jeans and a t shirt pretty much daily (think Hank Hill). Second, I don't get what you do there. I hated gym time in school (workout gym, not like throwing balls and running around gym, thats fun) and I don't get what you do. Run on a treadmill and lift some weights? I feel like I could do all of that at home. Gym memberships are insanely expensive. Are home workouts actually effective? Does one even enjoy gym time?

Its mostly for the social aspect, people will say its not, but with how expensive they are, especially in Aus where i live, itd be cheaper to buy your own equipment than pay for a couple years membership.

You need the room for the equipment. I had to go to gyms when my rental was too small.

You lived in a shoebox, thats not very common, you are a distant outlier.

I lived in a 3 bedroom house with 3 other people. No room was available and not many would have been big enough anyway. I need at least 2m squared
