خلفية ثقافية
Gyms are social hubs. It's common to see people talking as much as they train. The original 'gymnasia' were for both physical and intellectual training. Younger Greeks often use 'gym' as a personality trait on social media profiles. 24-hour gyms are becoming popular in Athens, changing the 'Πάω στο γυμναστήριο' routine to late nights.

Drop the 'στο' when talking to friends. 'Πάω γυμναστήριο' sounds very natural and modern.
Middle School Trap
Don't say 'Πάω στο γυμνάσιο' unless you are a 13-year-old student going to school!
