Q: What is the man’s problem?

M: I’d like to become a member of your club, but I’m not sure if I’m too young.
W: Well, if you’re under 18, you would need a parent or guardian over the age of 20 to get a family membership and include you on that. But actually anyone can use the gym facilities; we have a girl who’s 12 and who comes here to train in the swimming pool every day.
Q: How old does the boy have to be to get his own membership to the gym?
