Planning to hit the gym during rush hour? You’ll have much better luck finding an open elliptical machine than a bench press, squat rack or 30-pound dumbbells.

Strength training — also called weight training or resistance training — has surged in popularity, driven by new research on its health benefits, the growth of high-intensity gyms like CrossFit, and more women brushing off stereotypes that body building is for men only. It’s just the latest in a series of radical shifts over decades in how Americans exercise. The pandemic led more people to take up weight training, gym owners and industry experts say.

Elliptical machines in gyms. Users cannot reset the tension. Blown out knee caps. I suffered for 8 months. Ortho doc said he treats huge numbers of people with Elliptical injuries. 'Stay off them.' Knees, back: weight lifting, see your doc first.

It's due to the fact that gyms believe it's acceptable to have 30,000 treadmills and just two squat racks, which also happen to house the only two benches in the entire gym.
