Hi gym junkies!!
I want advice on new gyms in the area. I'm so sick of Fitness First at Victoria Gardens in Richmond, it's soooooo busy. It was amazing when it was a Space gym a couple of years back, but now there are just too many people.
Does anyone know of a gym in the area that has decent equipment, but is not ridiculously active Mon-Thurs nights?

Do You Even Lift, Bruh?
Body image is a multifaceted topic, particularly within same-sex attracted culture, where societal pressures and community norms often intertwine. One of the most visible manifestations of this is gym tradition, which holds a singular place in the Queer community. For many lgbtq+ men, the gym is more than a cosmos for fitness—it’s a social hub, a coping mechanism, and, at times, a source of validation.
However, this environment also carries a shadow side, fostering insecurities and exacerbating mental health struggles tied to body image ideals.
