The New Y I go to most often has...
A shake bar, A juice bar, Tropical Smoothie
(great Pita Sandwichs)
Massage Services. (Yes)
Signs that say "Dead Lift to the MAX" on the walls.
(No, but lots of other Motivational signs)
Signs that say "Rewrack your weights or we will hit you in the head with what we find on the floor."
(Yes, but in a more polite way and the staff could hit you if they wanted to)
Lots of Space between equipment (Yes)
Free Weights (Ivanko and CYBEX mostly)
Every imaginable free weight bar on the planet! (over a dozen)
Every imaginable bb and pl lifting accecory on the planet!
(Almost, on the cable station they have peobably 6 diff bars or handles)
Dumbbells from 5lbs up to 300lbs in 5 lbs increments.
(Duplicated sets in the 20-100 range and sorry, no Wodin sizes only up to 180 I think)
The weights would be set up according to body part.
Leg Land, The Chest Expressor, The I'll be Back Area, Shoulder World, Arm Town...etc. (There is a Cardio area, a circuit area, back area, a Leg area, a free bench area and an area with all the Bench presses of various incline, Stretching floor work area, )
One wall would be nothing but windows the rest covered in mirrors.
(All the walls in the FW area are mirrored floor to about 6ft. probably 60 ft long, Huge windows overlooking the pool and park that this Y is located in)
The trainers would actually train.
There would be people hired who do nothing but spot you and they could handle the spot.
(The people working the floor actually look like they lift, give private sessions and frequently you see them doing just that)
Everyone would be able to get a set of head phones from the main desk that tune into a radio station of their choice while lifting.
(there is a FM and TV transmitter in the bldg that you can tune in any of 4 TV stations for the wall mounted TV's and probably 7 or so commercial free music stations)
