Many girls I know alternate between working out at the gym and working out at home. For a lot of them, working out at a gym is uncomfortable for a few reasons: guys hit on them, guys stare at them, they feel like they're being compared (by guys or, more frequently, by other girls) to any other girl in the place, they compare themselves to other girls there and feel embarrassed. There's so much pressure on girls to have the 'perfect' body that going to a gym with an 'imperfect' body feels like an embarrassment. It's much easier (and more convenient, for many) to do sit-ups, yoga DVDs, or ride a stationary bike in the privacy of their own home.
Most girls bother with the gym for they have these periods where they want to get fit and become most self confident. However these periods don't usually last for very long. This doesn't apply to all woman though. Some females know what it takes, for example I work out everyday and stick to a calorie diet.
I have no idea, but I notice the same thing too. It doesn't bother me too much. What bothers me though is when women say "I'm on a diet." and they don't go to the gym then they complain that its so hard to lose weight. A girl who's fit and toned, but not in a body builder way is verrrryyyy attractive though.

I'm a regular gym-goer, basically because my career will require me to be fit. However, sometimes us girls just need the gym as a self esteem boost. Working out tends to make us feel better about ourselves. For some people, they just go when they have time ; this may not be every day.
Yes, there are plenty of girls that aren't dedicated to their workout regimen, but I also notice many guys at the gym skipping out on cardio (I workout at a college gym still) and just doing weights...that's not the best strategy either...
Girls get bored easily. We have the good intentions of getting fit, then give up!
Plus, gym's are horrible places. You'll probably find that most females there are comparing themselves to everyone else there, then feeling bad about it because they're "not as good".
same reason why guys go. to feel confident, look their best and to feel better about themselves by getting in shape. any excercise is better than nothing at all
Besides being able to compare yourself to other girl's and being hit on by creepy guys..
In my experience most girls only go to gyms to try to hook up with guys. Usually good looking men are at gyms so they go once or twice and try to hook up. If the girl is truly dedicated to working out, they'll be there on schedule and follow it, or they'll work out at home.
Girls can be just as bad as guys sometimes when it comes to oogling at the other sex.
