Gyms Banning Fit People!

[Tellos Athenaios]

Q1: that remains to be seen. I think there's a potential for it. Anyway, if it doesn't make sense, the problem will disappear on its own due to bankruptcy. However, as thearticle suggest its a growing trend, there seems to be value in it.

There seems to be, but from the article it's also clear that this market segment is reluctant to make the purchase (i.e. actually go to the gym). I can see how they might appreciate being among fat people when they exercise, but I don't see why your average gym cannot have a "fat people day" or something (and that would then "cover" the market). Unless there's something about Canada/USA that I don't know which makes the market by value a lot bigger than it would seem to me?

Q2: it's not.

Also, it is apparently not frowned upon.

Q3: well, firstly because they might not enjoy team sports. Secondly, a gym let's you excercise just the muscles you want, when you want. Playing football, for example, you don't build much upper body, so you'd have to hit the gym for that. Then you have those with sports injuries, of course. As for myself, I go to the gym to work out. I play football for fun, I have no fitness angle when playing football.

Yeah but that was a trick question. I just don't get the "I don't like team sports but I do love the thread mill" vibe if you know what I mean? Anyway if you want to stay fit Philip's approach is far superior than the gym for the simple reason that it is outdoors.
