TBT - The Warehouse Gym



Happy Thursday everyone! There's been the "TBT" trend going so I thought I'd do one of my own. The larger, franchise gym's if you will, look much much different these days than they did back in the day, like this picture. Treadmills, ellipticals, stairclimbers, AMT'S...let's just say that as technology has been changing with the times, so have our gyms.

Warehouse gyms, like the one you see here, used to be very popular years ago. No treadmills, no ellipticals, no fitness classrooms...just bars, plates, dumbbells, pull up bars and maybe a jump rope or two for the cardio version back then...that's it. However, with all the different franchise gyms you see these days, these old warehouse gyms are starting to make a comeback. I'm sure you've all heard of them. They're basically the new cross fit gyms that are starting to pop up all around the place now.

Now I'm not knocking any gym at all. Not by any means. I'm all for getting a workout in and improving one's health, no matter which location it's at. The generation that worked out in the warehouse gyms got results and the same with our generation with the franchise gyms today. Just thought I'd share a little glimpse into how things have changed over the years and the warehouse gyms of the past. Have a great TBT everyone!
