The Coliseum, Voorhees, NJ. This was in the late 70's and or early 80's. Nude workouts ended shortly thereafter.

I also had contact with someone on this board who said that he belonged there in the 80's and working out nude was common. Can't seem to locate the conversation now.

When I access the article multiple times at the Atlantic website, there were no paywall.
My guess is when an article is accessed multiple times, a paywall shows up.

.... what genuinely caused this
It's not one cause, but how American society approached nudity throughout the years.
The author starts in late 18th century to the present time and briefly describes the
laws that were created and the cultural shifts in American society with regard to nudity.
For those who are old enough(maybe you, your dad or grandfather), they might remember
and have told some stories of skinny-dipping at a river, lake, or pond in their small town when they were young.
If you attended private school during your high school years,
swimming naked was the norm for both student genders.
Swimming nude at the YMCA was the norm.
Most likely, those days are gone now, one of many changes in American cultural norms.
It's an interesting read because these American cultural shifts overlap on what we know as NUDISM/NATURISM.
