If there was a Starbucks inside your gym

[JasonH]

This thread title sounds like the sort of topic Bluto would start.

Except that there are probably no Starbucks in the Czech Republic.

Do you guys all go to a gym with tanning beds? I do and let me tell you that saves me a ton of time. Killing two birds with one stone is nice, but with the Starbucks it will be 3 birds! What should I ask for next? Any suggestions?

A fresh food store

Doesn't have to be too big and can have an opening outside the gym to attract even more business.

If the gym is in an upmarket location it could even have organic foods which would involve a higher mark up.

I was thinking more like a Blockbuster, maybe even a sportsbar. But I can work with that. Thanks.

Make sure that they do NOT add extra water to it. Have them fill the Venti cup with ice to the top then when they pour the 4 shots over it it melts just enough so adding extra water dilutes it too much.

Ah an aristocrat!

Steaks medium rare, as well?

Do you mean this Starbuck?

Yes I have been to gyms with all of these things:
dvd rental, cafe, bar, sports lounge, tennis courts, squash courts, pools

more like health clubs though and the free weights areas tend to be ignored

   That's pretty good, Prime Rib and Ribeye. The only way to go.

Sounds like paradise to me.

The problem is when that area isn't ignored there. I find half the time it's a bunch of annoying teenagers.

If there was a starbucks in a gym it would be the gayest most sissy mary gym on planet earth. Gyms turning into cafe's, lol....joke.

QFT.

Would you be more likely to hang out after your workout and chill with the other members? I have been trying to get a Starbucks added for months now, or at least some type of fancy coffee place. They have protein drinks/shakes now, but as True Adonis has pointed out those drinks are worthless. No one can deny the effectiveness of coffee, plus for those of us who are actually dedicated and workout in the morning we could go in have our coffee, read the newspapers, perhaps they could even hire a little homie to shine our shoes? What do you guys think? Is this idea going to revolutionize the gym industry? Also, what would you rather have, a Starbucks or a personal trainer who spends most of their time in their office posting on muscle sites?

I like it danielson.  For guys like us who need to check the Journal to see how our portfolio is doing, it would help us multi-task.  Of course most of the mouthbreathing ham and eggers on here wouldn't know what we speak of.

Also, the longer we are there the better chance for us to meet some hot whores. I meet on average about 2 hot bitches a week at the gym, now if there were a Starbucks there I bet I would meet 5 or more.

I meant ignored by management

Its like tiny and under equipped I'm talking 8 total 45lb plates

[io856]

Most of the health clubs like this attract cougars, are you into that?

The quality would also be better.  Everybody knows this.  Starbucks = hotness

I like bitches between the ages of 21 and 35.

U sound friendly they must be thrilled.

Based on your ideas i think Ballys might hit the spot.

I ma talking to the guys who go to a gym. Not people who workout in their rat infested apartments!

I am sorry I like to socialize at the gym, maybe you can talk to one of your rats and make some folgers crystals?

[pumpster]

Actually i work out at a major gym. I don't even need the starbucks because i work out hard, tan, look good and know how to talk.  :Dl

The starbucks idea's actually good, but all the rest of it, the DVD rentals, etc. tells me you're ripe for Ballys.

You think that setup inside your apartment is "major"? Looks like a bowflex in the middle of a Cabrini Green apartment to me.

[BlueDevil]

excellent idea

while we're at it add some immigrants who'll hand me my phone when i get an important call
