Designing The Perfect Gym

In this video you’ll get to see me go from the 4th floor to the second (this branch had 6 floors. One squat rack, one cage…NO room for floor stuff like deadlift, I mean I do it out of the squat rack)

Watch for two hilarious things:

  1. A guy helping his buddy use the assisted chin-up machine (guys here spot their buddies for most every rep of every set).

  2. The guy running on the treadmill near the end running like he’s been on there for 4 hours. He runs like I fuck.

I have a feeling that your gym closes at 10p.m to open up for one of the hottest clubs in town!

A few things. First thanks for sharing that! Wtf are you doing in Taiwan? The dude on the treadmill killed me although I shouldn’t laugh he looks like he has downs syndrome…Yeah your gym is gayer than a bag of shit covered dicks man! I feel for you! If I were you I would quit eating meat and just take up running!!!

Let me find some videos and you’ll see. It’s big, but dark with strange neon lights and not much room even though it’s big and lots of little guys wearing muscle shirts and belts and wraps doing curls.[/quote]

Sounds exactly like the gyms that are opening here recently. Even the Gold’s is putting neon signs inside… lame.

For me, I’d have:

Tri-grip/iso-grip plates.
LOTS of micro & or sub 2.5kg plates.
A lever press type machine for each body part.
Various bands & rope/trx/blast-straps etc (preferably with ports to hook them into).
A prowler + somewhere decent to use it.
DB’s up to & well over 100LBS + a few nice BIG adjustable oly db handles.
A few rowing machines.
A football bar would be beyond sexy!!!
A hex OR trap bar.
A loadable club bell.

Musically, it’s all good as long as it’s fairly upbeat & NOT just all one genre.

I’m not doing the math involved, but right now I’m imagining a db rack about 800 yards long.

My idea (again): NO MUSIC AT ALL.

My mistake they go up every 2.5 lbs. Little more realistic.

The 24 hour I workout out at does that. They have one side of the DB racks that go up by 2.5 to 80 lbs and the other sides goes up by 5 to 120 lbs. Pretty convenient actually.

Although they are very commercialized, I have to say, 24hr fitness(Im guessing thats what you meant) seems to do a decent job with DBs. Everyone I have been to has had a great db selection.

Yeah… I’ll be in a gym like that 24/7… my dream gym :slight_smile:

Yup. The biggest problem I have with that gym is the hex plates. It is a bitch to deadlift.

Ya that seems universal in all of their gyms too. Ive been to 2 that were around 20,000sq ft but only had one squat rack. I guess you just cant win with some gyms.
