Tbh, they could just get a bike, bike there for an hour, turn around bike home and have much more exercise.
Get overrun by a car
Diving 80km away in a car is a lot faster than bicycling. It would take a couple hours or more on a bicycle.
It's not the driving there ..... it's the time spent going there.
If you just do everything at home and exercise for even an hour, you save yourself two hours on the road going anywhere.
Once you do that for a month, the money saved in travel, wasted time, gym membership and all associated costs .... would more than pay for all the gym equipment you buy and set up at home. Plus you gain a whole bunch of hours in the day to do other things.
If you don't need to get to the gym because you already got your exercise cycling, does it matter whether you get there within that hour?
