Irrational Logic Sways Odd Fitness Decision-Making

The idea of a gym facility, how it looks, and what’s inside of it is so new to the human species, it’s completely illogical that facilities amenities are one of the first ten things people consider when joining a new gym. 

Gyms will offer literally everything but a responsible way to get fit. 

There have been men and women with the exact physical capacity for years before the invention of the Smith Machine, the adductor machine, ambient lighting, and whatever else people like to see in a gym. Sure, I shouldn’t hate on preferences. Spend your money how you want. But, the notion that anyone needs the things in a modern gym to get more fit than you’ve ever dreamed of is misguided. 

If your gym isn’t a system to develop work capacity, frankly, it doesn’t matter what amenities they have.
