Thread 76539160

Is it actually less crowded in the weekend? Cause i dont want to go if it's going to be packed. My brain says more crowded because more free time, but data says otherwise

I went at 4:30am the other day and it was pretty packed (weekday)

Op here. Wasn't that bad.
Day 4 and still got nautious before hitting 100% exhaustion

Check google data?

Ive been lifting at gyms for 20+ years and I've noticed ever since covid happened its impossible to predict if the gym will be empty or packed or whatever

Something about covid changed the way people gym. The gym goers were far more consistent pre-Covid so I knew what time to go and have the entire gym to myself, but now days its completely random

For example, Pre-Covid, the gym I go to was always dead on Sunday, but now sometimes its packed. Another example, during the week, at 5:00AM, it used to be the same few 5AM early birds, but now it can sometimes be an extra 10-20 random people in the gym at that time, but not all the time, like I said.

Ive also noticed the gym now days becomes really empty towards the end of the week, this never used to be the case.

Ive noticed Monday/Tuesday seems to when all the normies show up on mass now, but then theyre gone again.

Its just really weird how inconsistent it is these days considering how autistically strictly consistent it was pre-covid.

oh and another thing

i work remotely and have for over 10 years now, so im able to go to the gym during the day

pre-covid, going to the gym during the day, at like 12, it was always empty besides the same 2-3 NEETs, but these days I can go at 12 and there will sometimes be 20-30 people, THIS NEVER happened pre-covid

Another thing ive noticed

Pre-Covid = 5-6pm - gym was packed

Post-Covid - 5-6pm = gym can sometimes be completely dead

Before Covid there was never a single time where I went at 5-6pm and it wasnt packed, but now its like people are actively avoiding going at that time, maybe people are becoming more insecure, way less social, so they dont want to go to the gym at 5-6pm anymore, and since so many think that way, it ends up causing the gym to be dead at those historically peak hours

At least my local gym is packed from 5 to 8 on weekdays

Are you in the US? I've noticed the same thing ever since I moved here - except gym being dead at 5-6pm on Monday-Wednesday; it's always busy then.
However back in Australia 2022-23, things were as you described pre-covid.
