Thanks for posting this! I had seen the original New York Times article and added it to a list of things to post here, but I simply haven't had to do that.
I honestly thought that the attitudes of the young people described were silly. Some actually showered with their clothes on??? They are grown-ups in a health club in Manhattan??? Really???
Growing up I was skinny and not athletic, had humongous "coke-bottle" glasses and poor depth perception, and I was more afraid of being hit by a ball I simply couldn't see coming straight at me. I secretly enjoyed seeing the gym teacher and some of the guys naked; nudity was no concern.
Today I'm also running late but I hope I can come back and write something about this soon.
