Thanks.

If that is the gym of the future,then we’re all doomed.
LOL!
My gym isn’t any better… THAT is a sad fact.

Gay, and yes, there is something seriously wrong with that.
Never join a gym where everyone is dressed like they are members of a cult.

That’s what I was thinking when I found the pics. They have lots of other scary pieces of “gym” equipment on their website with everyone dressed in white and biege.

Looks like the gyms from ‘Gattaca’ or ‘The Island’.
Everyone dresses the same and no-one is oppressed by Professor X and his big scary guns. No-one breaks a sweat or strains themself. Everyone gets a complimentary soy smoothie at the completion of their 30 minutes of pilates.
My gym sounds similar to some of your guys’ descriptions. But, it’s the only one I’ve been to, so I have nothing to compare it to.
2 bench stations. 2 squat stations. 5 different portable benches (2 flat, 1 vertical, 2 variable ones). 1 preacher curl station. A fairly big aerobics room (compared to the rest of the gym). About 10 bikes, 8 treadmills, and 8 elliptical things. A variety of machines. Everything is rubber coated.
Now like I said, this is all I’ve ever known when it comes to weight training. Am I deprived, or no?
thr gym i started in was great for the first 3 years,little by little it’s turning way to lazy,owner catering to the people who say"oh thats to hard". it’s pretty bad when a 70 year old women said to me,that she wanted to go back to the old ways

All those bands look like one of those ‘exercise’ doohickies from about 20 years ago that you hooked to the doorknob, and when you pulled with your arms, your legs would go up? I used to have one, it did wonders for me.

Thats some funny shit
Thank whoever for nature.
If the gym of the future ever looks like that I can always go up into the mountains during summer and lift heavy bolders and logs and gulp down raw honey from the bee hives for my post workout drink,haha!
Just to cheer everyone up, it’s Technogym that make the Kinesis kit that is drawing so much envy. Why would that cheer you up? Becasue they’re the official supplier of exercise equipment to the Olympics!
Citius, Altius, Fortius my arse.
They also make a nice range of kit with built in LCD TV screen and aromatherapy fans. Their recline bikes can also be fitted with Playstations.
The Biostrength single station kit remembers the seat height, leg position etc. you last used and little motors will move them back for you. Just so you save burning off those precious calories and keep them for muscle growth presumably.
The answer by the way is no, I haven’t made any of this up.

One of my friends said that the fitness center at Va tech actually made you work out with a partner.
The “Q” fitness center (a branch off from Balley’s that may or may not even be around anymore) didn’t allow anyone muscular to wear tank tops. If you didn’t work out in a shirt that covered your arms, they made you wear a loaner shirt that fit pretty much like a night gown. No kidding. This was so none of the out of shape people would feel self conscious by seeing someone in better shape than they were. I worked out there one day and left. the Cinnamon-Apple air freshener and the extreme catering to obese people was too much.[/quote]
I had a membership there right out of high school. It was more like club sped. I dumped that country club atmosphere real quik and went to the golds a couple of blocks away.
Bullpup
I like “my gym”, 650 pounds of steel plates, 2, 7 foot olympic bars, 1 50.00 dollar power rack, a couple of innocent looking dead creatures on the wall to remind me what real protein is, and hot as fuck in the summer. The only whinning I hear is from the neighbors when the tunes are too loud and the garage doors are open, and the cardio consists of chasing my 2 year old down the driveway between sets.
Take the money you would spend on a membership and shop around for equipment, it’s a lot cheaper, and you could recoup the money if you ever decided to sell your stuff. have you ever tried to get a refund from a comercial gym? you have to change you mind within 3 days of signing the contract, or your out some money.
No fucktards to deal with, and you can choose your own music.

Yeah, that’s awesome.
I am in the process of making some steel logs, lucky for me I have access to lots of junk and can weld etc.
