Am I alone in finding it peculiar how many guys work out at the gym these days? I swear my brother was in a tiny minority when he started going to the gym at the age of 18 (he's now about 27), whereas now I'm in a tiny minority that don't!

What is the motivation behind it? From a third person perspective it just seems like vanity, really, as most of them aren't getting any fitter, or healthier, just bigger.

Theres many reasons IMO. Some love swimming. If your gym has a pool, ideal. Some don't do a physically demanding job like my self so need to do something to keep fit. Some even do it for social reasons (although that i don't really understand!!)
