gymgoers

Workout facility patrons

Gymgoers are people who regularly visit a gym to exercise.

The compound emphasizes habit—someone who goes to the gym once isn't a gymgoer, but someone who maintains a routine is: The gym was packed with New Year's gymgoers, most of whom would disappear by February.

Also spelled gym-goers or gym goers.
