Ultimate Workout Environment

Hi All,

I am looking at opening an old school neighbourhood gym, catering to those who want big weights, hardcore workouts and serious equipment.

So i wanted to put it out there and ask people who are serious about their form and their workouts ...what do you look when your working out?

Any feedback is really helpful.

People , attitude, atmosphere, style, encouragement, ego's left at the door..these all attribute to what i consider a great environment.
 
Good people that a supportive of each other and have fun together. A lack of ***** doing stupid shit in the only power rack in my gym. Personal trainers who will actually offer valid and helpful advice/critism. At the gym I frequent they look the other way when someone uses terrible form, I mean spine wrecking form but I get told off for deadlifting as it will hurt my back...

Very simple as far as I am concerned.

A good bar and more plates than I can lift.

Spotters and bum chums not needed. The challenge is to lift as many plates as possible. Those inanimate objects mock me. That makes me angry.
 
It should be the reverse of almost every modern gym: more cages than treadmills, more bars than bikes, more plates than machines and going for that dead PR? The feel free to make as much noise as you need to get you through.

Edit: it's funny, all my mates' dreams are to open a pub. Mine is to open a gym.

I have a mate who visited a Russian gym: rusty plates, paint coming off the walls, ACDC blasting from the stereo, torn heavy bags hanging off massive girders. He says it was amazing.
 
How many power racks and benches are available at all times. Thats why I tried Fitness Zone on the Coast. Great gym because very few people use the strength equipment

16??? shit...

Ours has 1 and 1 power rack... hence the reason I don't go until after 7pm so many Bro's curling and shrugging.

At a quick mental calculation

16 power racks (8 normal hammer strength ones, 8 half racks (matrix from iron edge) for 'crossfit'), about 5-6 leg presses, maybe 12 bench presses?, DB's to 120kg, at least 20 treadmills, 30 bikes, 4 jacobs ladders, 4 stairmasters, 10 rowers... kettlebells, power ropes, prowlers, tyres, about 30 punching bags, a boxing ring, multiple sets of rings, sledgehammers, climbing ropes and stacks of hammer strength, life fitness and nautilus machines...

and it cost me $199 for a year
 

That is awesome. Wish there was a gym like that on the coast
