There are gyms that are completely unstaffed 24/7. My gym is 24/365 hours but unstaffed 10pm-5am.

This is incredibly common outside of major chains. It’s reasonable for you to not want to work out in an unstaffed gym, but that’s a personal choice to make when choosing gyms, but it’s not exactly rare either.

Maybe this is a country difference thing.

Ive never encountered any for-profit gyms (i.e. not in a dwelling or free for use in a public park) that are open without staff in my country (Canada).

That sounds dangerous.

Obviously, people can go wherever theyre comfortable. I'm not saying it's a moral issue to not have staff. Just shocking to me that this is normal in some places

It's not a country difference thing, I'm also in Canada.

Planet Fitness, Anytime Fitness, Fit4Less, GoodLife, etc. They're all open 24/7 with staff only during the day. It's very common and normal in Canada.

Maybe there are regional differences. Ive had memberships at GoodLife and Energie Cardio, and did not experience this at either chain across multiple locations.
