I joined a gym that has an actual movie theatre...theatre speakers etc. and they replaced the movie stadium seating with cardio machines. Quite cool.. definitely makes time go quickly. I think it's a fabulous idea. It's just one of the cardio rooms they have. Thought it was interesting and I use it when a good movie is playing..

    I might sit and watch a whole movie. I get antsy sitting for so long.

    I used to go to a Gold's Gym that did that. Problem was, they showed slightly dated, WAY mainstream movies. So, generally, it was a movie you had already seen. Inevitably, you come in after the movie has already begun anyway.

    Don't all Retro Fitness locations have that? I used to go there. It was usually a very painless way to get cardio done :)

    I live in Tennessee and it's a gym here Considering they have 2 other cardio rooms if you don't wish to watch a movie.. it's great. Sometimes I run and I do not use the theatre to do that.. but it's such a great concept for when I just want to use a stepper etc. The movies to me, do not matter. I love to watch movies even if Ive seen them.. I don't care. Urban Cowboy I could watch 4 million times. lol It sure helps when you really don't want to do cardio I love it.

    Do you get to request movies? Do you get to see a schedule? Are the movies good or crappy netflix movies?

    The gym we belonged to does that. They show a different movie everyday. Sometimes it was one I wasn't interested in, so leaving after a 30-40 min workout was fine... other days I got sucked in would sped 2 hours in the cardio room. I really miss that gym.
