Spots where you might spot some spotters
Answer:
GYM
Hint:
Think of places where people go to lift weights or take fitness classes—you’ll often find trainers keeping a close eye on form here.
Explanation:
This clue plays with the double meaning of "spotters." In a gym, spotters are people who assist others during weightlifting to prevent injuries. The word "spots" also hints at locations, so "spots where you might spot some spotters" cleverly points to gyms, where both the activity and the helpers are commonly found.
