Compare it to some other public space and see how ludicrous it sounds:
You’d go to the bar to see friends? I don’t even know if I’m being sarcastic.
You’d go to the coffee shop to see friends? I don’t even know if I’m being sarcastic.
See? You’re used to people doing those things so it sounds normal, but exercising with your friends is just as normal as drinking with your friends.
People do all sorts of things with their friends, but the reasons they do them invariably include “I like spending time with my friends.” Hell, I help my friends do home improvement projects because it’s just nice to do something productive with my friends. I’m certainly not going to install a new door on a friend’s house if they’re going to be away at work, so clearly the real reason is that I like spending time with my friends.
