This is some stuck up shit right here. People are getting out and exercising and we're judging them for not doing it how we like. Gyms are much more than treadmills, treadmills are easier and more consistent for people starting out, the summer heat is brutal and gyms are air conditioned, or maybe you just wanna watch something to take your mind off the run itself. There's lots of great reasons to use a treadmill at the gym.
It's the AC for me, especially. When it's 35-40 degrees and swampy outside, the weather is downright dangerous, especially for physical activity.
Also on a treadmill you can run all the way until you can't anymore, if you do this outside then you wind up exhausted and stranded.
By stranded do you mean, you have to walk home?
Completely untrue. You can also take the bus.
Yes, which is why I added "exhausted" to highlight why that is undesirable.
Yes that means you can't run anymore. But you can still walk home.
Yeah and you can keep a consistent pace. Love/hate stair master or going on a large incline walk before or after lifting weights
Also, when they ran to the gym they had twice the way. May be more than they're capable of.
An additional point to treadmills is that it's easier on my knees and ankles. Also, I know we're not supposed to talk to people at the gym but I chat --ever so briefly-- with the regulars that go at my times. It's nice to say hi to a familiar face every now and again. As I'm getting older and do remote work, it's useful for me.
Take memes seriously and fight with people on the internet.
It's almost like Joker is a villain and makes bad points to screw with Batman
Nah, this is just OP thinking they're cool and edgy aligning their personality with the Joker
