I dont even know what half of those are except hammer strength. Ive probably used them, just never paid attention to the brand name of the machines. Its not like buying clothes or sneakers. lol

I am not going to walk up to another gym goer and be like, "yo brotha, i just used a piece of the precor workout. Bet no one else has used one"

I love when you catch someone owning one of these shit turd scams. You can just see the shame when they see you snickering at it.

Add a bench for number 4 and you have everything you need. I guess I could use the 220lbs dumbbells for a rolling on the floor exercise. Sitting in a machine is for lazy fucks. I watch machine guys go from machine to machine sitting in all of them.

As mentioned no. It closed in the late 70's, and Bob Zuver, the fellow that owned it tried his hand at a few regular gyms that closed in the early 80's. A fellow that lifted there mentioned that Zuver was involved in the early WSM contests and when Franco Columbu broke his leg, and sued everyone, Zuver was included. After that Bob just wanted retire and be left alone.

Thanks for sharing the stories & photos , Funk51 & BB.
This place looks like the machine room of a submarine (in a good sense). Too bad that no one was found to take over this special place.
