Gosh! Where have you been? You seem naive and clueless about normal life.Gyms have always been like that. It's how they have been marketed. It's really why they exist.Before that they were few and the domain of boxers & bodybuilders who take their stuff very seriously.  Arnold Schwarzenegger was a bodybuilder and his first film is a semi documentary of what that world is about.Why does anyone go to a gym?  To improve their image. in other words to make themselves more attractive to the opposite sex.  The modern type gyms are based on attracting same sex. There is an all female Gym in Camden where 98% are lesbian.Would you feel anymore comfortable there with women eyeing you up and touching you openly?Everyone knows that gay men are noted for looking after their bodies and for very many, the gym is as much a ritual as brushing ones teeth.In case you have not noticed, most open activities are actually all about interaction and meeting people.That is perfectly normal and does not mean you are going to be molested.If you want to get fit. You don't need a gym anyway. Plenty of female sports groups (who are interested primarliy in sports activity. Plenty of parks and safe roads and try and find a local joggers group so you can be safe.You are a woman and in this country free to dress how you want, do things the way you want and think the way you want. Plenty choose not to do that and many are forced by cultures but that is not the core value of our society.Freedom is.If you don't understand that or appreciate it then maybe you should travel to a few countries where women are 'fair game' for one use only and not regarded as full human beings. We have and it is not nice to see or experience
