I've been working in Philadelphia for the last week or so and using the Bally gym here. Guess I'm used to small scale Pensacola gyms but this sucker covers a whole city block and is 4 full stories. The place stays full but I haven't seen more than a couple of people using the free weights. :)

Yeah, the age of the "super gyms". I remember when it was a "man's" sport. (meaning a small black iron gym was all you needed).

Now with the age of the super model and everyone wanting a 6 pack, every kid is in there on all the fancy machines thinking they are going to achieve the TV model look with them.

Really is kind of sad what they did to our sport. :(
