There's got to be some psychological hack to this for some people, and I envy them. Imagine getting satisfaction from having gone to the gym just to walk... Gym is already a lazy form of workout even if you exert yourself.

Then again, the only people I see walking on treadmills are fairly in-shape young women, so it's hardly an issue

I’m sorry but did you say the gym is a lazy form of workout? Did that make sense in your head when you wrote that out?

Probably one of those "mans job" or "lone wolf" things. Either way cro_magnon_gilf 100% has Cheeto dust fingers.

Isn't it? Compared to sports, running or interval running it's very little effort.

Former 5 time a week gym member here.

Treadmill at the gym has HVAC, no cars that blow red lights and almost kill you. You can have a conversation with someone while you are on treadmill or you can safely put on headphones and rock out. You can run yourself ragged, and all the water and benches you want are just a few feet away instead of being another exausting run back to your house. The gym is usually secured with a key or fob. There are other runners there who have great knowledge about shoes, technique/form, workout routines...etc etc.

Lots of reasons why you would drive to the gym and run, instead of just running to the gym.
