Regardless of how you personally engage with your fitness experience - the feeling of being in these spaces whether you engage or not is inherently positive and important to a healthy society. My experience is the contrary. All the daily gym rats and power lifters are on first name basis with not only each other - but the personal trainers and/or managers of the gyms, and lo and behold they're all new age conservative psychos.
The point of this statement and the theme of my original comment is that we as leftists should focus on reenvisioning the gym and create inclusive socialist fitness spaces that would act more as a community gathering space. Rather than the alt-right reactionary spaces they are now.
