genuine question

y do ppl defend g0m so much

like we see ppl making “i hate this” post for almost everything and most of the time it really doesnt get that much hate no matter what, they do get disagreement but they also get ppl agreeing on their point too

but when it comes to gym then suddenly everyone defends it like it’s their child or smth, and most of the time they get almost zero upvotes or none of them at all

g0m propaganda went too far😞

you got bullied for not going to gym 😞

Just start bouldering if you dont like the gym, isnt every second building in japan a bouldering center?

Gym is overrated the most efficient way to get some exercise is street fighting

were you scammed by a Gym or sum? I don't see a point in fighting so much against gyms

It is objectively good for you, but you can be healthy without it. Going to the gym everyday IS a waste of time, however going to the gym 2-3 times a week is sensible (hit full body). Overall its both a hobby and a tool for health, but If you are a busy person or have no need to be overly fit, Its totally reasonable not to go to the gym, aslong as you make sure you are healthy otherwise (sufficient nutrition, healthy body weight e.t.c)
People will, however, advocate for it for various reasons such as the social empowerment that comes with a more muscular body or weight loss or gain in scenarios where it is needed. In the end based on your circumstances it can/ can not be a waste of time.
