New York —
I knew when I emailed the Equinox manager complaining about the hulking, rarely used Nautilus machine that my gym obsession had gotten out of hand.
“Since most people use that floor space for functional and strength training, would you guys be able to find another home for the machine, preferably on a different floor?” I wrote.
The machine is still in the same spot three years later. And so am I.
I throw Equinox way more money than a 33-year-old journalist in New York City should and spend an unhealthy amount of time planning my gym schedule every week. But it dawned on me recently when I saw a parade of 20-and 30-somethings in their uniforms of Alo tank tops and On sneakers that the ranks of gym-obsessed young adults were everywhere.
