I haven't been going to the gym in a while, but when I did there were a lot of people mostly looking at their phones and not doing much exercise. It was noteworthy when I ran on the treadmill that I saw other people actually running on them instead of merely walking. I'd guess that many people going to the normal gyms aren't getting much out of it. Combined with the drive to and from the gym, and often getting a snack or something along the way, I have doubts that going to the gym is an efficient use of their time. (the expensive, specialized gyms like Crossfit or climbing that cost much more are completely different)
