Why? Who cares? If you're focused on your own workout, it shouldn't matter. I train in a gym like that and I get in the SAME exact workout as I did training in more hardcore gym. Ive trained in dumps and high class places where people are socializing. My workouts were no different. Weights were the same. The pump was the same. It has absolutely no affect on my workout whatsoever.

different people react to different stimuli differently.

for example, i don't get "pumped up" at all listening to music during a workout, unlike most people, and i like to work out in a cleaner gym.  dingy dungeon type places depress me.  maybe you're better at "tuning it out" than me.

I disagree. You can be extremely focused on your workout and the behavior of others can still be an irritating distraction.  Just from a practical standpoint, people who are more interested in selfies and texting frequently occupy machines for long stretches of time without using them. Today was my leg day and I used our apartment building gym instead of my "hardcore gym".Just like anytime I workout here on a weekday after work,  it was an unusually irritating workout. Casual gym-goers are especially lacksadaisical with leg equipment and that just doesn't seem to be the case at any of the more fitness focused gyms I have worked out at.

That's just from a practical standpoint. Getting an effective workout is largely about getting into a certain vibe. That vibe is different for everyone. Some people are able to get into that vibe easier in fancy fitness centers, others find it easier to get into that vibe at more hardcore gyms.

Many of the people at my gym text on their cell phones while working out on a machine (leg machines).  :D :D

I think things like this may be distracting if youre a beginning. But if youve been doing it for a while, and you know what youre doing, you get in and you get out. Its never bothered me none. To each their own.

I also do not like listening to music when I work out. I would prefer no music at all, which is why I don't wear headphones. Plus, the wire from the headphone always annoyed me.

So many people who don't know who Dorian will walk into that gym and see a picture of him on the wall and think "wow that guy is massive". Then little Dorian will walk up an introduce himself as the owner. Many will never believe that it's the same guy on the wall...

LOL I'm sure you were on pins and needles wondering about this like I was, so I've got some potentially interesting news!

Yates licenses out the Temple Gym name for a $25,000 flat fee and a $500 administrative fee. It's right on the Temple Gym website, which is pretty unusual. I've never heard of any company making their licensing fees so public. It's actually easier finding licensing fee information than it is finding any info on the gym.
(I could not find any info on the actual number of Yates affiliated Temple Gyms.)

So, it's possible that DY Gym is a new licensing venture. Does he live in Spain now? I guess that would make it more likely that he's helping to operate it, but he almost certainly has business partners who are looking towards expansion.

His supplement line is still in existence, but it isn't carried in stores and it's sold on separate websites for US and British territories and he spends the majority of his time in Spain. That strongly suggests it's mostly a licensing business.

There's nothing wrong with licensing. It can be very lucrative and it's smart to leverage risk and partner with someone when starting a business that requires a lot of upfront capital. I'm just sort of a  business-minded guy and I'm always curious about the specifics when "names" start business ventures. Especially fitness industry names, and especially if it looks like it was executed well.  In most cases, fitness or otherwise, the name doesn't have a lot to do with the execution. Like that Mike O'hearn frog machine- he was a name brought on to promote after it was developed.

Today was my leg day and I used our apartment building gym instead of my "hardcore gym".

Anyway, just like anytime I workout here on a weekday after work,  it was an unusually irritating workout. Casual gym-goers are especially lacksadaisical with leg equipment and that just doesn't seem to be the case at any of the more fitness focused gyms I have worked out at.
