Its going to be such a huge mix of people...Everyone from professional athletes to people with disabilities. Its definitely not a frou frou gym!!0

As a past collegiate athlete (who was always told they were too small) I'll check it out. I really miss my gym like that.0

We have a gym like that in our town and its where I go. Its not about socializing...its about busting *kitten* and going home!!0

Yes! That's what I was thinking too!
OP - Thanks for the heads up. I'll probably DVR it and see if it's worth watching.0 -
So, did you watch it? I was so disappointed to see the big boys lifting and women jumping like idiots in the background...where are the lifting ladies?!0

I watched. It reminds me of my own gym. I'm looking forward to seeing all the different clientele they train there.0

I'm a sucker for anything fitness related (Biggest Loser, Extreme Weight Loss, etc.) so I set the DVR for it. It's an okay show - was hoping for more lifting and less drama but it is a reality show after all. The form in their last "hypertrophy" drill was the worst I've seen - I get the point of the drill but that's a great way to get an injury IMO. Also-does the dude that owns the place not have the most annoying voice on the planet?0 -

Agreed about the form and the voice. It's only one episode so my hopes are high! The last gym related reality show I really liked was The Gym, I think was the name or something like that. It had that big guy from Repo Man. I used to like Biggest Loser but the product placement got to be too much. Extreme Weight Loss is good.0 -

I thought The Gym was really a good show. Work Out (which was on Bravo a couple of years ago) was interesting but again, way too much drama and I don't think they had a barbell in that gym which is a shame. I watch Biggest Loser more to watch their workouts - can't handle all the crying and drama so I usually DVR it and just fast-forward through it. :bigsmile: I really like Extreme Weight Loss but I'm a little biased since a lot of it is filmed here in Denver.0
