Awkward Gym Layouts

The gym I go to has the strangest layout: elliptical machines and stair climbing machines are on a slightly elevated platform right in front of the weight room area. It's a bit awkward as your butt is front and center for all to see, all the time. Does anyone else go to a gym where the layout isn't thoroughly thought out? ... Or maybe it's actually ingeniously planned that way? :)

    The goodlife fitness that I went to had the weights in the corner of the gym and all the treadmills and elipticals in front so you got to stare at all the butts on the treadmills and elipticals.

    I'm thinking they may do that on purpose! :) It makes it super awkward sometimes.
    My butt is already huge, I'm pretty sure people don't need to be so close to see it!

    The Y I go to has a set of free weight things right next to a door thats frequently used, you either have to go completely away from the station, or stand in the door way to use the weights :p its kind of annoying :p

    I think you may be right. As most are men in the weight section and most are women on the treadmills!

    @ Michael- I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be a fan of the gym you used to go to!

    I wish I could just go in one day and move everything the way it should be!
