gymnecrosis
/ˌdʒɪmnəˈkrəʊsɪs/nounVerified NewThe death of a home gym's purpose, by which its equipment is absorbed into the household as furniture.
The bench holds folded laundry, the treadmill is a rack, the rower dries shirts. Gymnecrosis is gradual, gentle, and total: the equipment remains, the exercise does not. Its final stage is a sale listing, which everyone knows will never be posted.
Etym. — gym + necrosis — tissue death in the household body, the equipment surviving as scar. The unusual root is deliberate, because the process is irreversible.
