Weird gym moments and culture shock

I just moved from Florida to a country-ish town in Virginia and man the gym culture is sure different.
First the number of people who show up in work boots, jeans, and flannel. Not judging, hell I'm impressed. Tradesman out here butting in work before work and not even taking the time to change.
Then there's the older guys in their slacks, loafers, and button down shirts. Nobody ever told em they can be comfortable at the gym I suppose.
However, if there is one thing I never want to hear again in my life is country music at a gym. I forgot my headphones today and nearly had to take a nap on the bench. Now I have this stuck in my head.
"Well my truck died and my dog broke and I'm drinking beer on a fishin boat."

    But maybe they are comfortable wearing what they have on? Or maybe they can’t afford to pay a monthly gym fee and get shiny, new and stretchy painted on gym clothes?🍑👀 You know? Because of inflation and all that crap.
    And maybe just today of all days they forgot to play the cardio country mix? Yes, there is such a thing!😂

    Good for you country-ish town in Virginia for putting your health first and above all things!👏😌

    I’m about to jump in the shower, I think I’ll listen to it because I don’t do boring showers. Gotta get my 10k one way or the other!👣

    I'm unironically emailing this video to myself so I can give it a listen. I don't mind country music much and I'm always looking for something with a good enough beat to walk to :)
