However, I do wish there weren’t so many minorities and whores there. No one wants to see or smell that.
Edit because I keep seeing this comment:
I cannot get a home gym or exercise to the fullest at home. I’m in a small apartment on the third floor and I’d rather not be jumping and bothering my neighbors.

Part of why my entire routine is calisthenics/dumbbells at home.
But it's mostly because I loathe the idea of being dependent on access to a building full of machines for XX dollars per month in order to be fit. Bodyweight and small weights are all you need to get shredded.
Plyometrics are a great addition to any work out. I like to start with some cardio and then do weight training. Jumping squats and lunges are killer. I’m a woman if that makes a difference. We exercise very differently from men.
Heck, cardio doesn't need the gym either. Running and cycling are popular; I do shadowboxing, which is another silent and stationary option. If you prefer explosive training with jumping exercises like that, you can just go to the park instead of the gym (Disclaimer: I don't know if that would be better or worse demographically,) and do the rest of your exercise there as well. I did this while homeless.
You'll do you, but for my money I see no reason a gym is *needed* for anyone other than those who require it for full on bodybuilding rather than general fitness or functional strength.
Believe me, I would if I could. But my husband doesn’t like me going places alone. Especially if my awareness is compromised by focus on the workout. Also, it can’t get pretty cold here, and I’d prefer to have a regular regiment that I can stick to

Shoulders: Dumbbell press
Triceps: Handlebar dips
Biceps: Curls
Chest: Push ups
Lats: Ring rows
Abs: Weighted crunches
Legs: Goblet squats
All completely silent movements unto themselves.
