Yeah I live in Indiana. Guess what. 40x times cheaper. Bigger houses. More natural. Better laws. My house has its own pond and a community of neighbors that preserve wildlife and stock our pond with fish. We also play hockey on the ice when it freezes.
All you have in Oregon is hipsters and hipsters pretending to be lumberjacks

Lmao Indiana is a povertous shithole. Your state steals all of your state tax dollars. Your roads are small and rarely fixed. Your tollway is a ripoff. And you have the highest amount of blacks and homosexuals in the Midwest.
Oregon coastal towns are fricking solid. It helps that they're probably the only spots on the west coast guaranteed to not have Commifornians hogging the real estate.
Unless something has changed in the past ten years.
It's still like that. You're also rich as frick if you make 6 figures with remote work. Land and labor is cheap. There's not a lot of jobs but if you work in CS/IT and make more than 40k/yr you'll be rich compared to everyone. Women are pretty out here too because mountaineering is a massive hobby and physical fitness is required for most trade jobs, which are 90% of the jobs around here.

Forgot to mention that it's cloudy so everyone tends to not have sun/skin damage and look 20 at 40 if they aren't lardasses like Indianajeets

You forgot the part where they all have vitamin d deficiency and now they are all depressed and suicidal. Oregon is in the top 10 states of suicide btw. Even higher than Indiana and you're the one calling us the shithole

Everyone is white here so they drink vitamin D milk. Regardless of suicide rates (which is more based than dying in a hospital) Oregon's life expectancy is two years higher for both men and women. Indiana is one of the top trucker states and can't even upkeep their roads lmao. I haven't seen a trucker in years. No gay meth-heads around here either.

I'd definitely rather kill myself than live in Indiana, the state with the highest HIV/AIDS due to drug abuse.

Frick, I was going to look back on those days with happy nostalgia and give up on Oregon. Now I might have to make a trip out there to see if it's worth settling down at some point. Thanks dude. Go hiking this weekend.

I have noticed this too. I think fitness becoming increasingly mainstream has made contempt for new year's resolutioners mainstream too, so the socially-adhering minds of the masses stay away from it since it makes them feel disliked.
Years ago someone pointed out to me that the resolutioners usually peak at about 1-3 months in. It’s a combo of being hungover after New Years, then being a weak willed resolutioner who’s gonna drag their feet, and them thinking gyms are most crowded Jan 1st. Give it a few weeks
Although I think coof played a role in this plus what other anon said
I’ll probably get Clinton’d for this but I’m pretty sure quarantine was to get as many people glued to their devices as possible. And with the IST ~esque tier fitness memes that flooded all social media it wouldn’t be surprising if that’s what’s happening
Just to further prove your point: my Tinder bio is literally just shitty IST memes from 2012 and it works, we're a couple of years away from a major figure saying *tips fedora* in public
They turned up at my gym in force, but all left in the span of 5 minutes shortly before 12pm, because as you know lunch time is exactly 12pm and if you don't eat 2000 calories of goyslop at that moment it means you have an eating disorder. I saw 2 fatties at Subway after I left and I recognised them from the gym. They think they deserve a reward for exercising.
I've been going around 6-7 every night and other than a few new faces it really hasn't become more crowded.
The anti-fitness propoganda has been ramped up this past year, I'm fine with people choosing to become sedentary blobs to avoid the label of "racism"

I wanted to add to this, the few tourists I saw were on Monday evening, mostly fat chick's slow walking ellipticals to the point they're not even sweating. But I have seen heavier people that seem more dedicated, the weird thing is all of them have started with medicine ball slams. I get that it's a great full body workout to ease you into everything but it's been like 5 different people doing it.
Upcoming week is the worst. People are putting it off but eventually start to feel guilty. You know, they made a resolution to start in January. Not January the 1st.
>work from home so I can leave job early and go to gym on weekdays >usually no one there >now, it's 1-3 people max >people doing light lifts, some filming themselves on their phones
Hopefully they'll frick off soon
I notice the same and I think that's whats happening, OP. Not too many people are going to the gym for their New Year's resolution, but at the same time I also think (and I'm just guessing) that it might be because going to the gym has become more normalized nowadays? Either they were already going before and are still going now or, if they aren't going now, they were before and they just stopped but plan to hop back on in the next few weeks or months.
Honestly I can't really fault anyone for it, life is a bit harder now and things are way too expensive, having a membership especially to a commercial gym is not cheap so I understand if people don't go and look for alternatives.
It's 5am. No resolutioner has the will power to go to the gym at 5 am
It's 3am you stupid frick.
>California time
Oh no no no no no

any other coos/Douglas county bros on IST?
Sorry, I used to live in Medford. I get weird looks from other Oregonians when I meet them.
Medford is decent, not coastal but still beautiful. frick I miss Oregon so much
Yes the state of CA is the only locality in the world that observes the -8 UTC offset you stupid frick 🙂
Imagine living in the same time zone as commiefornians and not killing yourself out of shame
fricking morons it’s just about 7am, it’s the exact time that wagies are at the gym before their 2 hour commute
it's 11pm. Are you morons so slow that it takes you over 12 hours to type out a post?
I thought your government banned you from posting here. Why are you speaking, a*ssie?
V-Vanuatu anon is that you?

If there was that much central control of people you would have been executed and we would already be in liberal paradise.
Have noticed this two. Have only seen like 2 newbies so far. But then again I go in the morning. I imagine the gym is packed after 6pm.
They turned up at my gym in force, but all left in the span of 5 minutes shortly before 12pm, because as you know lunch time is exactly 12pm and if you don't eat 2000 calories of goyslop at that moment it means you have an eating disorder.

we are going to the gym after work, most of us normal people have a life
my gym looked even emptier than usual i think maybe because i live in student area. the students haven't came back yet from new year vacation

Corona made everyone train at home. The age of gyms is over. Fitness-industrial complex is seething.

Maybe the covid bs made everyone simply give up
I went to mine New Years day and it was a ghost town. Which I loved because less time I had to wait to get on a machine I needed.
