Richie - you need to re-read my post. I said I'm surprised that it gets enough members, not debating the merits of a gym. My point being that there are alternatives. More in TV than almost anywhere I can think of.

Obviously resistance training is important, especially as we age. And it is easier to do that at a gym than at home.
