Well, you don't have to pay to exercise. You can do so in the comfort of your own home or other public places. But if you want the benefits of a private club, then you have to pay ... It's not like healthcare at all - everyone can use regular exercise, but not everyone is going to - there are no "exercise emergencies." On the other hand, people get injured and need to go to the hospital all the time. Who do you think should be paying for a fully staffed and run fitness club?You shouldn't have to pay to excersise anyway... It's like health care mang, too much capitalism, not enough humanity these days
I agree with that very last statement. No, that's not what those taxes are for. Have you ever tried getting a driver's license from the government run DMV? Is that how you want your healthcare process or exercise process to work? Endless lines with lazier than lazy employees and two miles of red tape to get anything accomplished? No thank you. Where in the Constitution or Bill of Rights is it intended that the government mandate, create, organize and run exercise facilities? Or healthcare for that matter? Do you want the government coming into your home and telling you how often you need to exercise or face a fine? That's the most likely result if the government ran it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with privately run exercise facilities. Bally's at one point was a money making machine and failed because of increased competition from other people that created facilities and an atmosphere that was more appealing. That's the benefit of capitalism. New individuals have the opportunity and right to create a new pathway and fill a need. Bally's saw what was happening and had plenty of opportunity to change and grow, but they didn't and therefore they lose. No big deal.Government. They should make public gyms like they have public schools where they force us to go sit in a class all day, go to gym, etc.
Isn't that what those taxes are for afterall? Not that I'm an expert...
hey, I was reading your weight training article, is coolI prefer working out at home, alone, without distractions or a-holes using equipment to hang their shirt on or as something to lean on while they talk to another lazy a-hole that's not there to work out, apparently. I invested in a good power rack with a cable set up and a ton of freeweights and I'm good to go for working out at home.
