To be fair XX Twin Dad is a trainer so he is probably seeing a skewed group of people in day to day life.

I'm not really sure how many people work in my office park. 5000?

When I go to the gym in the park I see the same group of less than 100 people at the gym and it's been that way for years and years. There's a full time trainer on staff there. It would be 100% normal for her to assume far more of the people in the park are fit just because she's only seeing the people who walk into the gym. Easily 90%+ of the people you would see in the gym would either fit into "normal" BMI or "overweight BMI but low body fat and high lean mass".

But walk through any one of the actual offices and you'll see 50%+ are obese and the high muscle mass, low % BF, "overweight" BMI category is probably only about one in 500 or even one in 1000 people.

And you'd see 25+ people smoking outside the large bank office on the other side of the park at any point in the day who all look super unhealthy.. enough to make a trainer cry.
