I don't think gyms necessarily because people still need to healthy. You can be happy with your body but you still need to maintain a healthy lifestyle
I know you'd have to maintain a healthy lifestyle but a lot of gyms get their business from women who aren't happy with their bodies. I'm not saying they get all their business from them but they do get quite a lot and without them it'd probably be a lot harder to keep their business running. Even if there are still some gyms left I'd say the some of them might close down.

Its like the medical industry as long as they can make money on it they'll do anything to keep your business.
Having worked in the medical field for more then 10 years... No. Not true. One might argue this with the pharmaceutical industry, but not with the medical industry.
How does the cost of a heart surgery perpetuate them making money off of you now and in the future? Yes, medical cost are going up every year. But the actual take home of a doctor is going down. Health insurance companies/malpractice/and the actual cost of doing business are what's pushing those costs up.
My daughter just had open heart surgery 4 weeks ago. You don't need to educate me on how much it costs. Medicine is not there to keep you sick and be a reoccurring money maker.
I've worked in billing, accounting, administration, and insurance prior auth/negotiation.
I've worked in neurology, ophthalmology and as a patient rep in an ER. I'm on the business end of medicine. Health practitioners are not the problem nor the source of the rising cost of healthcare.
Median household income in the USA is about $50,000 a year. In India, it's $1,000 a year. For people living in either country, a major medical problem is a huge financial problem. But it's comparative. The cost of healthcare is not exclusive to America. You have to take differences in economics, cost of living and the actual conditions of a hospital and the training a doctor has, into account when you draw conclusions from those numbers. For people in India, paying for heart surgery is just as financially taxing as an American pays for it here.
