GymsGetting fit should come with a health warning, warns PJM. "In my pursuit of the body beautiful, I've broken three exercise bikes and two running machines, concussed myself and, most distressingly, bruised my testicles." And he's yet to try and get out of his contract...

Gym fail
Just in case you haven't seen this pic before; I give you a gym with escalators (not my pic; found on failblog possibly). Apeloverage's post about his being the only bike in the gym car park reminded me of this; epitome of laziness.
They've probably got personal trainers who actually do the exercise for you.

Hmmm...I can see a reason for this: you're assuming that all gym users are completely able-bodied. However, that needn't be the case.
For example, we might imagine someone who's had a stroke and who uses the exercise bikes as part of a programme of physiotherapy. Stairs might well be beyond him; an escalator would seem to be in order.
Having said that, the people on the photo do look like perfectly able-bodied lazy twats.

Aha, I know this one...The idea is that you go up the down escalator and down the up escalator. I did have a link for the story but I can't find it just now.

I believethe reason for those is that this gym leases space in a mall.
But this is only based on a small amount of googling.
