Favorite exercises and movements in the gym?

Here is a very rough layout I did in Photoshop.  One of the equipment companies just gave me Autosketch so I am doing one with the equipment layout to scale right now.  It will be alot better.  My architect will do the real thing but I like doing this stuff.  It shows the basic layout though.  It doesn't have the rear upstairs either

What are some of your favorite exercises and movements on the gym?
I have grown to really enjoy the Hammer Strength machines for back work.
I feel it in the back and not in the low back or biceps as much.

SL Deadlifts, BB rows, weighted chins, squats (I enjoy front squats more and more), and triceps in general. I enjoy the bench press also.

Agreed, and not just Hammer some others depending on the piece including Cybex, Lifefitness, etc.

Which ones.  The only cardio room really is the Group Fitness and Spinning.  Those are always enclosed in every gym in the world.  All the other cardio is the machines on top of the mezzanines

Stretching behind the hot chicks on the stairmaster or stretching in front of the hot chicks doing those leg machines where they keep opening and closing their legs.

Yes I too like Hammer a lot.  I have 21 pieces of Hammer coming in.  I just replaced what Cybex I was going to order with some Paramount and Startrac.  I have a lot of Nebula free weight coming in.  All the benches are Nebula.  I have 24,525 lbs of Olympic plates coming in a total of 860 plates.  I have 41 leg machines coming in counting the Squat Racks, Power Rack ad other.  Starting in July I want to have a thread-like diary on the construction and putting together my flagship gym.  Everyday  will put down what was done and so forth (up to a point).  I think it would be neat to keep a diary of this.  Hopefully most of you will like it.  It will show everyone what it takes to open a gym.  This one is almost 46,000 sq. ft. total not counting the outside areas.  So it is going to have quite a bit of stuff.

Sounds great, Keith. I only get to Vegas every 5 years or so, but put me down for a visit. Gotta support the home team.
