利用人种学数据，本文分析了“词汇的动机”之间的个人谁在大曼彻斯特地区（英国）的私人健身俱乐部工作。本文区分了开始健身的动机和继续健身的动机，并分别进行了分析。在后一种情况下，它还试图引出许多动机，这些动机与一些学术报告中发现的“锻炼”的陈规定型观念相冲突。有人认为，健身不仅是培养有价值的身体属性的一种工具性手段，它的吸引力也不一定都是“身体的”（至少是狭义的）。
Drawing upon ethnographic data, this article analyses 'vocabularies of motive' amongst individuals who work out at a private health club in the Greater Manchester area (UK). The article draws a distinction between motives for starting at a gym and motives for continuing, and analyses each separately. It also seeks to draw out, in the latter case, the many motives which conflict with a stereotypical view of 'working out' found in some academic accounts. Working out is not only an instrumental means of cultivating valued bodily attributes, it is argued, nor are its attractions necessarily all 'bodily' (at least narrowly defined) in nature.
