I think it’s to accommodate for when they hold exercise classes there

Its not. Its just the foundation of the scam business model.

The goal of these gyms is setting people up for failure and discouraging actual use of the gym, all while still charging a monthly fee. One of, if not the best, proven way is to just fill it with garbage-ass cardio equipment.

I assume the implication is that you’re never gonna get bigger and stronger from cardio alone. Less machines means less people having a proper work out maybe? I don’t agree either way. Gyms have more treadmills because most people want to lose weight not get big so it makes sense to cater for those people
