Does anyone buy products from gyms?

I see so many products when you walk into gyms (aka 24-hour). Things you can buy cheaper elsewhere. 

Does anyone even buy their products? What do you like to buy?

I have a towel that I bought from my gym, because I didn't have a towel of a reasonable size for being at the gym, and buying it there was just convenient.  Convenience is a pretty heavy factor on gym gear.  It's kinda like buying bread and milk at the gas station, they can afford to charge more because it's a last-resort kinda place.

I'm lucky.... my gym is 50 meters from a Dollar General in one direction and 80 meters  from a Winn Dixie in the other...  I have no intention on paying to advertise for them.

Yep. This is how vending machines have been ripping me off for decades.

Another good example is the socks in the bowling alley vending machine...they know they got you by the short ones so to speak...hence a pair of socks can cost 3-5 bucks
