Read the description of the folks that invaded one person's private speakeasy gym: "gym bros" who were described as "grunting and using all the equipment, taking selfies in the mirror, flexing their triceps". I'm guessing there's more to it than just getting pumped, perhaps there's an audience component, too.

Those passages said a lot more about NPR and its audience than the gym-goers, really.

They were quoting a gym-goer.

Which gym-goer you quote matters.

That also sounds like the "folks that invaded" had a narrative they expected to fulfill.
