Why Do Gyms Have Car Parks ?

[Canary42]

Why don't the punters run or even walk there. As it is they drive there, spend ages running miles on a machine, then drive home again.

Wacky.

The Gym business has certainly found a niche of mugs to exploit.

A bit like asking why cyclists drive a 4x4 to a meet-up then change into garish lycra and assemble their £2,000 high-tech wheels.

I used to take my kids (by car) to the gym twice a week. They'd play in the creche while I did my work out. Then we went swimming. My kids learnt how to swim in the gyms pool. Then we'd have food in the cafe, home, homework....and they were happily shattered.

It's not just public transport, but safety as well. Especially in winter. Not everyone would be happy walking down pitch black country lanes on their own, in the dark.

Sounds like a win-win situation.
