What is a Defective Wall in Escape from Tarkov?

The Defective Wall is another addition to the Hideout that needs to be installed first to be accessed. According to a Reddit User, demond9009, the Defective Wall in Escape from Tarkov is a spot for building a Gym.
It is speculated that the Gym is the space where the player will be able to train their Physical skills like Endurance, Strength, etc. Once you have installed the Defective Wall, you will have to upgrade and dismantle it to progress further.
