Week # 4 Blog

As of now, from the research I have found, I have come to several conclusions.  First of all, that a great number of people that workout at a gym several times a week use supplements to improve the effects of their workout.  Of the twenty-three people I have polled so far, over half have said that they use creatine, protein, or another type of supplement with their workout.  I expect to find many others that are the same way as I continue my research.

Second of all, I have concluded that gyms can be found in any type of neighborhood.  I have been in gyms that are in the middle of a poor area and those that sit in the middle of some of the more affluent areas of a city.  I do not yet know the socioeconomic status of the people who actually use the gyms though, so it is possible that even gyms in poorer areas are still occupied by the middle class.  I believe that the price of being a gym member can make those who use a gym selective.  Most gyms are too expensive for someone living on a low hourly wage to afford a membership.
