A thought came to me as I passed the new gym being built on the way to work , why do they need such big carparks

.
My thinking on this is

if the gym user leaves the car at home & has a gentle walk , run or cycle to the gym would'nt this constitute the warm up required before more rigorous exercise began

.
Then when there session at the gym was finished they could go home the same way they came as the warm down so to speak

.
Plus there carbon footprint would be smaller as they are not using the car

.
So WHY do they need suck big carparks
