    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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?!

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

    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?

    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.

    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.
