When my dad was a boy, the idea of a gym (outside a school gym) was fairly unknown here. They were like, want to get stronger? Go kayaking. Want to lose weight? Play soccer.
Sports have big startup costs for most, but I agree that once they are paid a sport will tend to generate feelings of intrinsic motivation. Reducing those startup costs would be valuable.
That is why I am think the idea of fitness/exercise is fairly broken and we should go “back” to sports
