There are many. They charge a lot more and act like personal trainers - service is why they exist.
your cheap doesn't charge enough for everyone who is a member to go. They need all these people who pay but don't attend to pay their bills (and then more to make money)
So basic gyms are money pits that can't profit unless they lock you into a contract? If true then gyms shouldn't exist. Yet for some they are a necessity.
Some people believe (falsely) that buying a membership will incentivize them to go more often.
As someone who has struggled with weight loss but is in better shape than I was a few years ago:
5 minute rule is good, also because people coming into a gym or starting a new exercise routine have a lot of energy and no muscular endurance nor is their body used to working out the joints, tendons etc. they will push themselves to "work hard and make progress" and then be in pain and it builds fear and reinforces negatively working out. Many a ship sunk by not really, really easing in.
Even a super out of shape body is amazingly capable of exercise and movement if you ease into it. Then when you have some baseline with your body "ok we can walk for 20 minutes now"/run for t minutes now/do x situps etc., then you can slowly start to add intensity, weight, etc.
Go slow, go light, succeed.
Only reason I get one is if I was going be a vanlifer. For the showers. Working out I can do at home.
Yes, this is a good exception. The gym is great for showers and other bathing options if you do not have the facilities.
