I never joined a gym when I lived in the Middle Midwest because I was too cheap

. Now that I live in SoCal, I ride outside all year long.
Having said that, I never cease to be amazed at how well the gyms are doing out here. 24 Hour Fitness, LA Fitness, etc. all seemed to have
their parking lots filled with cars, pretty much any time of the day.
Maybe if those folks rode bikes outside they wouldn't go to the gym so much? Guess I'll never know because I'm still too cheap!
