Why is the aesthetic of gyms, even the good ones, always so lifeless? Always black and grey and white everywhere. I want fans blowing air in my face at 12 km/h and a simulation of running along a forest path in a magical fantasy world .... or at least some plants.

gym bros and bro-ettes probably don’t think about aesthetics much. also, easier to clean

I used to go to a private gym that was like this guy’s garage, had cool vintage posters everywhere. It did make it more fun

yeah but you could like at least put up walls with a picture of trees on them, one-time cost and even that alone would make me enjoy them significantly more

I'd imagine cost is a big issue too — gyms are low margin businesses so concrete & black mats are functional and dirt cheap.
