Huh? What exactly do you think a gym's principal expenses are beyond rent, employee cost and equipment maintenance/replacement? And how long do you think a gym treadmill which is run on for ~6 hours a day will last?

I'm not saying MoviePass automatically makes sense, but the idea that gyms are "all upside" after the initial equipment purchase is badly misinformed.

I'm not sure how you read what GP said, but if you reread it you'll understand that the mistake was on you, not them being misinformed.

Emphasis added to both their post and yours to highlight.
