Using your point, how would lobbying from big gym be able to compete with the dominate interests of pharm and medical.
The desire to work out comes down to the self determination of the person and I don’t think there is any product that is a substitute or replacement for that.
You don’t need a fancy gym to get rigorous exercise. You can do everything in your home. Walking, running, Push ups, sit ups, squats, dips, are free and easily accessible to do anywhere. biking, swimming, and pull-ups are less accesible but are also relatively easy and cheap, these also are the best exercises one can do to avoid injury.
I would say building more bike roads, walkable spaces, outdoor exercise areas, and emphasize these things early in schooling are the best and most effective. I’m sure it is emphasized highly in Europe where people are generally more in shape.
