Irony?

The gym I go to is on 3 different levels. You come in off the street on the middle level, the locker rooms are downstairs on the 1st and pretty much all of the equipment is on the 3rd floor. Something I see quite a bit are people downstairs that have just changed and are ready to work out waiting for the elevator to take them up to the third floor where they can work out. The stairs are right next to the elevator, so it's not like you have to walk 300 feet to use the stairs. They're right next to one another. WTF?
