Exercising.
Contexto cultural
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.
