Short Q Could you tell me what this article talks about?
TALK A This article talks about some luxury hotels that forbid

members over the age of 60 from using their gyms.
Q What is the main reason for refusing the elderly?
A The hotels say that they don’t accept the elderly mainly for
safety reasons.
Q What is cited as another reason for setting a maximum age
limit?
A Another reason for the age limit is that younger members
feel uncomfortable when senior citizens are around.

Long 도입 Personally, it makes sense to me that some luxury gyms
TALK have their own age restrictions.

근거1 The main reason is that private businesses can have
exclusive policies to maximize their profits. It should be
illegal to discriminate against the elderly at work or in
public service, but things could be different for luxury gyms.
근거2 Another reason is that the elderly have a higher chance of
having an accident while working out. I think hotels have
the right to refuse them due to their safety issues.
마무리 Because of these reasons, I think it’s okay for some fitness
clubs to set a maximum age limit.

개인적으로 고급 헬스장이 자체의 나이 제한을 두는 것은 타당하다고 봅니다.
주된 이유는, 개인 기업은 수익을 극대화하기 위해 배타적인 정책을 취할 수
있기 때문입니다. 직장이나 공공 서비스에서 나이 든 사람을 차별하는 것은
불법이지만, 고급 헬스장에서라면 문제는 다를 수 있습니다.
또 다른 이유는, 노인들이 운동하는 동안 사고가 일어날 확률이 더 높기
때문입니다. 안전상의 문제로 그들을 거부할 권리가 호텔 측에 있다고 봅니다.
이런 이유로, 저는 일부 헬스장이 나이 상한선을 두는 것은 괜찮다고
생각합니다.
