Late at the gym

Is it unusual if my husband suddenly starts going to the gym late at night after 9:30 PM? He recently mentioned wanting to change careers, which requires him to pass a physical fitness test. He says the gym is too crowded during the day and that he needs access to the equipment, so he prefers going late. He doesn’t always go this late, but just thinking why sometimes he goes late and other times don’t. I'm just wondering if this sounds reasonable or if I should be concerned. I'd appreciate honest opinions. Thank you.

Hard to say. But he’s not wrong, gyms are typically busiest during the day and slow later at night. Has he ever done anything before that would make you concerned?

@Brittany No, he didn’t go to the gym before. Now he’s going because he needs to pass a test.

I would rather die than go to the gym in the late afternoon it really is that crowded.

What kind of test is it?

my favorite time to go to the gym (when i actually did do that lol) was late late at night bc i had the whole place to myself

It seems like he's telling the truth but if you are seriously concerned just see if his car is there

My partner and I are both heavy on the gym and I wouldn’t find this weird at all because going to the gym when it’s busy SUCKS. He goes at 5am and I go at 6am just for this reason. If you are paranoid then follow him 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️ But otherwise if you’re not familiar with gym stuff then this is absolutely normal

Also with him changing the times, gym times can be heavily influenced on how you feel physically and mentally that day.

I wouldn't worry but just keep an eye out for changes. I like to go gym when it's quiet too x

It is hard to say, but as a gym goer myself it's true that during the day they are very crowded. Before I moved in with my husband I used to go gym around 10pm because there was almost nobody there.

My husband and I always prefer going to the gym later in the evening. It’s sooooo crowded after work until around the time people go to bed. I refuse to go early lol

I meant no, not unusual.

The fact you're questioning it makes me think there are other factors that give you doubts.

No I wouldn’t be concerned. I hate going to a crowded gym and i try to go on the off hours.

He’s not lying. Gyms are nice and quiet and not busy at night. Arvo is THE busiest time of day, and anyone that goes during school hours is either unemployed or working PT and is at the gym on their days off. Everyone else who works FT, has to go at night or on weekends which weekends only, isn’t gonna do much do ones’ physique. Because he’s seriously wanting to pass a test, I don’t think there’s anything suss here. If it’s all of a sudden out of the blue and way out of character, then that’s suss
