What's weird is that some machines are head and shoulders above the rest:
- Nautilus pullover
- Nautilus Nitro bicep curl
- Hammer wide chest press
- Any kind of tricep extension as in the pic
- Feel free to add to this list.
And some machines are total dogshit, e.g. every "Hoist" machine and every overhead tricep extension machine.
Gyms like Bev's are great because they have every good machine and few bad ones.
Most gyms fall for gimmicks and buy useless shit, though, and often don't have any of the great machines.
My gym used to be awesome but fuck knows what kind of equipment lease the owner has signed recently. There's so much shit in there you can't move now. We don't need four flat bench machines. We don't need 5 different tricep extension machines....the only good thing that was brought in was a pullover.
And don't get me started on them replacing the chinning and dip stations with Hyrox equipment that nobody has touched since it came in.
