No treadmills,no bosu balls,no bands or chains,no fitness queens,just black iron,sweat,desire,camaraderie,and intensity.

Plus no training/diet/drug/posing guru's, no posing room, no hammer strength stuff, no duck jumping plyo bitches and no davemadmax6 or lonnie asking dumb questions.

Oh yeah, the music they play in gyms these days, like if you enter a gay bar, LOL!

On a serious note, I think there's still a market for serious / no bull lifters, but most gyms play it save by investing in tons of machines/cardio stuff, esp here in Europe :-\

I was happy to see an initiative called the Animal Barbell Club, a strong community of lifters who support each other.

I`ve trained in about 5-6 hardcore old school style gyms and the owners of each one all told me they msde very little money but just kept the gym open because it was their passion............today s gyms suck because it`s all about cash without any passion involved.  :(
