Bill Bryson wrote of this upon his return to the US from the UK where he used to walk lots of places. How his wife's friend drive 2.5miles to a heath club to walk 5miles on a walking machine, then drove 2.5 miles home.

Its probably a more enjoyable walk in the gym than walking to the gym because walking along stroads suck. They are loud, the air is polluted, there is a sense you need to be constantly alert, and all those factors passively stress humans out.
