@tootbrute I started going to the gym in college because it was really nice and had eye candy 😋 admission was included in tuition and I certainly wasn't about to buy equipment for my dorm room.
Now, I admit that I feel very silly driving to a gym, but my house is tiny. A powerlifting platform would take up my entire living room. If I had the space, it'd be nice to have a half rack and barbell at home. But it's still nice to go to the gym and have a huge amount of equipment and be around people.
