The Gym
OLD GYMS
- Gyms used to have names like “Vinnie’s Gym”
- Gyms were often separated by gender
- Women had a few hours they would work out
- Men had the rest
- Gyms used to be like very large work out rooms with few machines and steam rooms and pools etc., separate section for men and women
- Rudimentary squat rack, punching bag, rope, pull up devices
NEW GYMS
- Vinnie still marvels at all that gyms like 24 hour Fitness have
- By and large, a lot of trainers at gyms are not the best trainers
- Crazy stuff at new gyms, elliptical machines that work muscles you hardly need
- People doing exercises that they don’t really need and disrupt other people in the gym
- People pushing around plyometrics boxes around for exercise when you have a million machines that do the same things better
- Concept 2 Rower — how to use a rowing machine correctly
