> what is the rationale?

As others have mentioned, the idea is to make it more expensive for people, so that fewer people will do it.

> Do they assume everyone has a home gym

That's the propaganda version of the "mislead wealthy." Don't be so naive as to assume stupidity where malevolence fits perfectly.

Honestly, I bought a home gym because I did the math. $30+ per month is minimum $360 per year plus the transportation to and from the gym. For about $1000 I decked out my gym with nice gear i got for really cheap on craigslist. Free weights, bench, pulley machines, even mats and racks. My truck was so loaded with weights the suspension was grinding LOL. Decked it out. The laundry room water heater room doubles as the gym.

Home gyms are cheaper in the long run...if you have the space for it. If you're in a 1BR in a shitty apartment with floors that can't handle heavy weights it's a lot more limiting.

True. My gym is on a concrete pad with tile flooring so I needed the horse mats. Fortunately the guy threw them in for free. I think tractor supply sells them. Also I like avoiding a commute, blasting my own work out music, having ice water and bananas nearby, my own shower, and I can probably sell the weights for same I paid for them if I ever have to.

Honestly I do so much hard manual labor that I don't use my gym as much. I am getting hard workouts but getting paid for doing it. Try pole sanding a ceiling for hours all day. My shoulders feel jacked. Also other jobs I move heavy extension ladders around and go up and down ladders, roofs etc. Try hauling heavy bags of shingles up a ladder on your shoulder. Takes strong balance

You forgot the cost of the space for your home gym. The room or area it's located has a cost, even if it's an opportunity cost. Part of the rent or mortgage you pay includes the cost of the additional space you're using for your gym, even if it's outside in a car port or a patio. If you have a two bedroom house, that additional room means a few hundred dollars more per month you're paying for your gym.

Honestly I do not understand why you need a "home gym." You can progressively overload every muscle group with a single dumbbell if you want.

I work every muscle just doing physical labor on people's farms

Home gym saves you the gym membership

But you could make income and work out both at same time. People pay you to work out by doing physical labor. That's even better

Gyms can be very gay. There's a lot of vanity. Women trying to show off in yoga pants around men. Men with too much vanity posing in mirrors instead of pushing weight. Gay music. Gay employees . I avoid normies gyms. Cross fit gyms were okay for a while but even they became gay. Let's have people lift a stack of old tractor tires yeeeeeeaaaaah then we charge $100/mo no thanks

not just that, but they'll draft it broad enough that it becomes a tax on all apartments and condo associations... unless lobbying groups want to make a campaign donation of course.

Except a lot of shitlibs and boss babes go to the gym too. I have a little insight knto how state governments work and the alount of incompetence is amazing. Sure there is malevolence abound, but it's not as well organized as many think.

It's not as prevalent on the lower levels. The point is that those who make these decisions do it often with malevolent intent.

And the point isn't that they completely forbid it, but that they make it more expensive to access. Boss babes and shitlibs are paid well enough that they can afford it and barely see changes.

They are penalizing the homeless who have gym memberships.

Many people who live out of their vehicles, park at the gym. They basically use the gym as their public restroom for showers, etc.

Just making sure that those that are down, stay down.
