This reminds me of the time I was in Telluride, Colorado to run a race. Telluride is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited and there are people in the hotel working out in the way you just described. I couldn’t for the life of me understand why they would be inside when they could be walking, biking, running or whatever in those mountains.
Too many modern humans are indeed disconnected from nature.
Ted Talk heard and received!

i never went to a gym and i never will
i go jogging everyday + biking + swimming
i have my own body weight always with me.
-> push ups + i have my own autistic way to train my stomach + ass / upper legs by just sitting down on the floor and then lifting legs and upper body
why go to the gym when you have nature and your own body ? maybe you can convince me otherwise but I also have the firm belief that the vibes are off about these places
it is a weakly held belief because I never went but I went to a yoga class for a while and it was in a gym like place in the sense that it had lots of mirrors on the side of the walls
also i was on my bike on a beautiful day and i rode by a gym, people sitting on their hamster wheels with head phones on
on the one hand the mirrors and the presence of the other, appearance focused people that you know all watch the same algorithm on their instagram
and then the tuning out and distraction from their own body by using earphones
it just seems like a horrific experience. That makes you more self conscious and focused on your own body image while at the same time cutting you off from its senses through earphones and air conditioning
okay thanks for coming to my TED talk
