I'm what some would call a gym rat. I have my own home Gym though.

Working out has solved a ton of problems for me. Anxiety, Depression, Mood Swings, Rage. You get into a routine, and you don't want anyone or anything to mess with it. It's what makes you feel good. For me its the difference between a productive day and an unproductive one.

Changing things up, especially with improvisation, can result in injury. Or just not getting a desired result. For example, I squat 400lbs or more. Would I try to squat a 400lbs stone, not only no, but hell no.

For some that go to real gyms, it's not just the workout. It's the comradery that comes with doing hard things with friends. It's socialization.

I think it has very little to do with being a rebel or a denier, and a lot more to do with it being a way of life, for a lot of us.
