I train alone because if I have an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction at the bottom of a squat, I know nobody is gonna see my Peppa Pig underwear!

Gyms have become an increasingly popular “third space” for young people.
It can be annoying (couples and groups 
), but I think it’s overall a positive development that young people are choosing physical activity as their choice of social activity

That’s a really good point. I hadn’t actually thought of it from that perspective.
Yeah. My wife was aghast when we started dating and went to an eat-n-park after a movie and there was a ton of kids hanging out.
Me- “Well, they aren’t out in the woods getting drunk and doing drugs.”.
Her- " 
".
Gym is fine by me.

For the record- I like lifting with people that lift similarly to me. Not super intense, but not all casual. Talk a little, laugh a little, but when its time to grip & rip or what ever- its done with intensity.

Tragically so… just phone zombies and emaciated teenagers in sandals with necks bent at 90 degrees
That “physical activity” is just scrolling through their phone mostly.
