The Fitness Facade: Gym Consistency on Campus

Every semester begins with the exact same promise: "I am going to get shredded." People buy the activewear, curate the perfect Spotify playlist, and pay the gym fees, fully convinced they will be there every single day. The reality check? While there is a dedicated squad of gym rats who actually show up and lift heavy a few times a week, a massive portion of the campus is simply funding the gym's electricity bill. For many, just owning the membership is enough motivation to feel productive while chilling in their hostel beds, with maybe just an occasional visit.
