Gyms aren't the solution. Gyms also make most of their money treating the problem. They are massively oversubscribed because they know most of their members don't actually go. Most of their members are on the "forever diet". You know, the one where you're always trying to "lose weight" but never actually do (usually the opposite).

The actual problems are things like food addiction and forced sedentary lifestyles. The solutions to these are things like taking food addiction seriously and treating junk food the way we treated cigarettes (ban all advertising for a start) and getting rid of cars in towns.
