I had a room mate who would drive a 5 mile round trip to the gym and back to walk five miles on the treadmill. I didn't have a car at the time and was always pointing out the nonsense of it. She said she just preferred the atmosphere of the gym to the side of the road or any of the many beautiful nature trails near by. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

To be fair, I can close my eyes and just sort of flail on an elliptical in a way that would absolutely hurt me if I tried it on the ground. It's also a lot lower impact and when I'm done I can just stop.
