Is your gym really a bathhouse?

Let our quiz help you find out

Picture it: you’re working up a sweat, surrounded by hot guys. They are all equally sweaty. You’re almost positive one guy keeps looking at you out of the corner of his eye. And you’re definitely positive the two guys beside you are unabashedly checking each other out. Quickly — are you in a gym, or a bathhouse?

It can be a blurry line. (Like when Steamworks runs a gym rat special.) Or, worse yet, you only discover your gym’s hookup potential when perusing an app. Luckily for you, we have developed a fool-proof and completely scientific way* of determining once and for all: is your gym really a gym? Or is it all just a cover for guys to hook up?

(*no real science was used to determine this result.)
