#gym-culture

I'm now trying to be more open to my sons' interest in weightlifting, recognizing its benefits while addressing my concerns about gym culture and their well-being.

"The rise of gym memberships among Gen Z is astonishing, with a doubling since 2020; yet, this obsession may reflect deeper societal issues beyond personal health."

"People watch and judge others everywhere, and the gym is no exception. It’s nice to say nobody cares, but it isn’t true."

When you see social media promoting workouts as key to feeling and looking better, it's pivotal to note that this often veers into individualistic mental health posturing.

I find the gym to be quite an unpleasant place for people who have an aversion for toxic masculinity as Australian gyms reek of it.
