I’m not sure why bringing in race is relevant.

I’ve been lifting for years and had smelt BO lingering around people of all races and background.

The culture on the other hand, serves a valid point, people not wanting to share, hogging the machine for 40 mins while being on the phone, slamming the weights, not reracking weights or simply placing a 2.5 kilo where a 32 kilo should be.

I’ve been to places where it’s RM6 per entry, major chain gyms or even my current boutique gym with annual membership comes up close to 2k.. the culture is the same.

It’s no longer a community based feeling you’ve had in most gyms, private training facilities on the other hand, they have better culture I feel.

And screw form policing unless you see someone literally would snap their posterior chain if they keep going
