Interactive Gym Equipment and Buffs in the Bathhouse

[Arnold]

I think it would be really fun if the gym equipment in the Bathhouse could be usable.
For example, the bench press and other equipment could work like the fishing mini-game, where you actively lift and lower the weight with timing or control. This would make it interactive and enjoyable instead of just a passive action.
Additionally, the lockers in the Bathhouse could be used to store clothes or outfits. Taking a shower there could also give a small temporary buff, such as a short speed boost or strength-related bonus for the day.
Nothing overpowered—just a fun, late-game quality-of-life feature that fits the spa and relaxation theme of the Bathhouse.

I think taking a shower should give a boost to friendship building if it gave a boost to anything. Like double friendship when talking to someone for the first time that day for about 2 minutes after taking the shower.

Using the gym equipment should give a small buff to strength (+5 attack, maybe?) at the cost of reduced energy for 2 min or so.

That would honestly be pretty funny, we've already seen something similar in 1.6, it could give something akin to the desert chef buff which stacks with food and drinks.
