Why do people go to the gym?

Me and my boyfriend had a huge argument last night about the reason why people go to the gym. He stated that the number one reason is to find somebody to sleep with... I said that people go there to primarely work out. I work out a co-ed gym 5 times a week and have not noticed that much flirting as he says. He stated that he went and observed 6 different gyms and asked his friends and he knows that quote " 60% of people go to the gym to hook up" He said that I am narow minded to think that the main reason is to work out. i just don't think that there is any extra flirting or dating at the gym as to anywhere else, grocery store, work etc. I just wated to prove a point to him and he did not value my opinion at all and said he was right and I was wrong... So I wanted to hear some more opinions on this. I think probably about 30% go there to pick up people... What do you think?

I am a guy and i go specifically to work out. Although I could see a lot of people going to find someone. I just get a rush from my workouts, plus I allready have someone so no need to look for anyone else.
