I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiment. Fitness is a treadmill (please excuse the pun). It is not something to be acheived and then moved on from. Once you are fit you have to keep at it, and there is a a big element of fear of losing it.
I stand by my comments also - fitness could easily be achevied without ever lifting a single weight. Gyms are as much about wanting to look good, and all that entails, as being fit. And there are some people outside the gym who are a damn sight fitter than those muscle-bound people inside.
