Disease Database Drug Database Alt. Just as there are cat people and dog people in this world, there are also gym people and those who swear they'll never set foot inside a fitness club.

Seems there's a perception that entering a fitness club is like taking a journey back in time to 1970's New York and the nightclub, Studio 54. People imagine a place where the pounding disco music is deafening and where the spandex-clad patrons are fit and toned and beautiful. They fear not measuring up and being judged by others. The fears are groundless. Gym patrons are focused on themselves and the activities they're performing.
