Would You Rather questions are powerful because they invite members to participate in lighthearted, low-pressure discussions. By presenting two fun or challenging scenarios, you help members imagine themselves in new situations, fueling both laughter and conversation.
This format works especially well in gym communities, where members love to bond over shared challenges and fitness experiences. Debating hypothetical gym choices creates a sense of belonging and breaks down barriers, encouraging even shy members to weigh in.
