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.

Totally get it! Gyms could be so much more than just functional spaces. Imagine walls painted like enchanted forests, nature sounds playing softly, and treadmills with VR forest trails. Even a few potted plants would add life and energy. Fitness should be about nurturing the mind and spirit too!
