There Are Ego-holics At The Gym. Why?

This is the 7th gym I have worked for. I am the marketing director and a manager there. On a daily basis I have to deal with major ego issues at the gym. My question is this, do gyms seem to have a more of a problem with the ego (men and women) than perhaps another career field?? I understand that gyms are the primary reason people like the way they look. Sometimes however, the ego gets in the way of professional. Sometimes I have to cajole an angry member or employees over seriously stupid issues. . .

Well, this is a theory that has not been supported by facts and figures but General observation of people related to or working at or even taking the services of a gym are somewhat Ego-holics. I believe the major reason is that they have acquired Physical toughness and they are always in a mood to show it off. You must have seen people with toned up bodies, showing them off in public. This boosts up their ego. Similarly, when they are always on the lookout for opportunities that will give them a chance to take on the other person, so that they can show off.
