Why is lifting no longer popular? What can even change to make people want to go back to the gym?
>>77167359try steroids
Home gym has gotten more attractive due to women using men in the gym as objects of ticktock click bait, the increased bullshit rules in gyms, and the fact that the generation that is currently working out is steadily getting more money and the ability to have a larger apartment/house and the extra funds to just buy the weights outright. If you go to a public gym in 2026 you're asking to be the subject of a "CREEP SNEAKS PEAKS AT ME IN PUBLIC GYM SEXUAL HURRASSMENT 100% 100%" or you're just poor
>>77167371>you're asking to be the subjectWhat's the problem?
>>77167371the gyms I've been to have been like 90% men thothe few girls there are only ever on cardio machines or spamming hip thrusts
>>77167359Normalfags learned that diet is more important than exercise for losing weightWhy go to the gym when injecting Zepbound works better?
Looks like it's just come back down from an artificial high during corona virus when all the normies didn't know what to do with themselves
>>77167435yeah, this graph is actually remarkably consistent for the past ~3 years. COVID lockdown no doubt made people want to get back in the gym and get in shape.
>>77167359>Why is lifting no longer popular?Men realized that there was no lift for your face.
>>77167371>If you go to a public gym in 2026 you're asking to be the subject of a "CREEP SNEAKS PEAKS AT ME IN PUBLIC GYM SEXUAL HURRASSMENT 100% 100%" or you're just poorimagine actually worrying about this lmfao. you dumbasses are way too easily ragebaited
Do you understand that whoever googled that once, doesn't have to do it again?It's only the people who move elewhere or new gym goers who do it. Those are actually impressive results.
>>77167448They're just incapable of talking to girls so they have these made up excuses as cope
>>77167446>>77167435>down 40% from pre-COVID>this is fine
My gym is the busiest its ever been in 2026Been going to the same gym since 2003 (yes 23 years)Still the same old-school gym, never been updated.
I think most people have lost hope and are just surviving.
>>77167359Most people went to the gym to lose weight.Then Ozempic happened.Lots of retards here think most people go to the gym to get jacked like some fitness influencer. It's because /fit/izens are terminally online in this niche community and have absolutely idea how the rest of the world actually functions.
>>77167359Is “gyms near me” really the best search criteria on which to judge the popularity of strength training?
>>77167626Good. More for me then
>>77167359>Ozempic>Crossfit no longer popular>Zoomers gave up on pussy because they don't want to ask girls out
>>77167359Fitness is mostly a surrogate activity for people who have all their needs met and have nothing to do with their lives.As the economy worsens and living standards keep collapsing, fewer people will be interested in it as they have to work harder to have their basic needs met.Can't focus on self-actualization and self-improvement when you're struggling to pay rent. Same reason nightlife and nightclubs are quickly dying, they've become a luxury for most.
>>77167435This. I remember fitness being really popular since everyone put on weight during Covid
>>77167630Have fun "functioning" with a Hank Hill ass, Karen
>>77167371have you tried being good looking? this never happens to me
