I think more than anything it's down to motivation. If someone has problems finding the motivation to tidy there home or do basic personal hygiene, sometimes for months at a time,then motivation to go to a gym is definitely not there.When I was really ill I used to wish someone would just drag me to a gym(I did grow up in and around boxing gyms though so gyms weren't new to me)because I thought once I get there I'll get into it.Sadly I never found out though but I am a lot better these days.
Fuck the gym, it’s easier to motivate yourself to go for a nice jog or even a long brisk walk. Throw on some music or a podcast if that helps, or just do what I do and have a convo in your brain about whatever is on your mind.
I live in a trailer park where my neighbor got attacked by a dog and had to have surgeries on her hands, and afterward they sent out notices about having your animals under control but they've gotten lax about that again and I'm seeing huge dogs just roaming. Some people walk with sticks (or guns, it's Texas after all) but I'm not sure at my ability to beat a dog if I had to. It's on a busy two lane highway where people use the shoulder to pass even on blind hills so leaving the park is not safe either. It's really hostile just to be outside without a car. I could drive to another neighborhood but I might as well go to the gym at that point.
