Locker Room

By definition, a locker room is a place where people can change their clothes and also store them in a locker. Some locker rooms have attendants who help users store their clothing. Most locker rooms are wide-open spaces, where members of the same sex dress and undress together. Some spaces are separated with dressing stalls, and there is usually a separate shower area with separated, private showers. The lockers in the locker room are either locked with keys or operated by inserting a coin. Some of the newer locker rooms are automated with machines that store clothes and fingerprint scanners to lock or unlock lockers.

One frequent complaint evolving around locker rooms is how dirty they are. There are hundreds of people for instance in a gym on any given day, and they all use the locker room facilities. If there isnt an attendant standing by to make sure the room is kept clean, the facility can get pretty dirty. Showers can be disgusting clogged with soap scum, hair, etc. Paper towels may be strewn all over the floor, and toilet paper may be nowhere to be found.

Needless to say, it is important to have a clean, well-designed locker room to keep patrons happy. The room should be comfortable and well lit. The room should have a constant supply of soaps, shampoos and lotions for its clientele. Above all, the room should be staffed by an attendant who works diligently to keep the sinks, toilets, showers and floors spotlessly clean.

Get serious about your strength training at home with the Bowflex Ultimate XTLU home gym, which includes everything you need to keep fit and build up muscles in your own home. It comes standard with 310 pounds of real Power Rod resistance (which can be upgraded to 410 pounds with optional additional Power Rods). The Ultimate includes a lat tower with an angled bar to help you build back and shoulder muscles, a low pulley/squat station for building glutes, hamstrings, and quads, and a leg extension/curl station for developing muscular legs. The adjustable pulley system is designed to change your angle of resistance to help increase the effectiveness of many upper body exercises. It also offers a smooth, built-in rowing machine. When you're done with the workout, the Ultimate folds down and can be rolled away via its integrated wheels.

The Ultimate utilizes Bowflex's patented Power Rods, which provide resistance, or weight, that feels as good as or better than free weights--but without the inertia or risk of joint pain usually associated with free weights. You can hook one, two, three, four or all of your Power Rod units to the cable pulley system and go from as little as 5 pounds all the way up to 310 pounds of resistance. The Rods are precisely manufactured from a high-tech composite material under the highest quality control measures, then sheathed and tested 4 separate times to ensure quality and durability. The Power Rod units are so strong, you can flex them repeatedly but you won't be able to wear them out. In fact, they're so strong, Bowflex backs them with its No-Time-Limit Warranty free replacement offer.

About Home Gyms
While offering the convenience of working out in the comfort and privacy of your own home, home gyms also allow you to focus on specific routines without having to wait in line or switch between a complex array of machines. In addition to improving strength, power, coordination, and muscular endurance, weight training can enhance weight reduction, enhance the immune and cardiovascular systems, and help prevent injuries. In general, home gym machines are compact units designed to strengthen and exercise many parts of the body. While no single home gym can provide a complete strength training solution, they are a convenient way to combine many exercises into a single unit. Some home gyms focus exclusively on upper-body workouts, while other, more advanced units focus on upper- and lower-body conditioning.

Customer Review: what it is, what it's not, how to use it, who's it for
What it is: An exercise machine that can work just about every muscle in your body. It's pretty safe; not much chance of injuring yourself. It will get you firm (and lean, if you eat right). You will notice a difference between every serious workout. You will be more toned and have better posture. It has a smooth, non-jerky motion. Fast and easy to change exercises and add resistance, once you get the hang of it. It's real equipment, not trendy junk that you see on some after-midnight info-mercial, advertised by a celebrity or a fitness junkie who probably never used the machine except when filming. What it is not: First, it is not, as it claims, 310 lbs of resistance, and it's rather deceptive to say that it is. If I put my 190 lbs on the pull-down, I can pull all of the resistance bars (supposed 310 lbs of resistance) all the way down. I easily max out the set with leg presses, and I will guarantee you I never pressed 310 lbs of real weight at the gym. You really get about half the stated resistance. It is not as good as a good gym. A good gym has equipment especially designed for individual exercises. Gym equipment better isolates muscle groups, is more comfortable, and generally gives better resistance through the whole range of motion. Bowflex Ultimate reasonably comfortable; resistance-wise, a little light at the beginning, and too much at the end--though still, pretty good. It is not free weights, which are fastest and best for building real muscle mass. If you want to turn into Mr. Universe, this isn't for you. If you want to be substantially stronger, better toned, and healthier, it is. How to use it: First, have a modicum of discipline. A mere modicum will do. Remember the addage (Woody Allen, I think): 85% of success is getting started. So just put on your gym clothes and walk in there, convinced that you will only do a single rep of a single exercise. Once you get started, you're mostly there. Second--enjoy it. Have fun! Bring in your wife and kids, put on some music. Play around with the multitude of exercises until you are familiar with the machine. When getting started, don't overdo things: you will just end up sore, stiff, and put off over your next workout. Third: Read the workout book, and follow it. It's really good. The book that comes with it has simple workouts for various objectives: general fitness, adding muscle, weight loss, everwhat. They are good workouts, with each exercise well described. Don't be intimidated by the jillion exercises you COULD do. You will probably end up doing about 15 exercises regularly (5 to 6 in any given workout session), and those are in the workout sequences. Do all of the exercises--not just your favorites or the ones that are easiest for you. The ones you don't like are the ones you need the most; they won't be hard for long if you keep at it. Fourth: STRETCH before and especially after a workout. This will keep your muscles limber. Otherwise, you risk getting stiff and lose your range of motion. Stretching is important to any workout--particularly if you are in the bottom 10% in terms of flexibility like me. Most exercise programs leave out stretching. You need it. Finally, I would recommend a shake specifically for workouts, like Myoplex. For a buck fifty per shake, it's cheap and makes a big difference. You will work out with less effort and recover faster. Really. No, really! Both my wife and I love this thing. We work out together with some nice music. I'm pretty muscular, she's pretty petite. It works for both of us. We both feel better after using it. We sleep better. It's easy enough to turn off the tube or laptop for half an hour in the evenings and do something that will make a genuine, noticeable improvement to your health, workout after workout. It's well worth the money, and I like using it. It has a small footprint (will fold up simply) and you can roll it from room to room, or out on your porch, whatever. Who's it for? Well, maybe you don't have the time to go to a fitness center...or maybe you're so out of shape that you're too self-conscious to even show up in a fitness center. Or maybe you don't like dealing with everyone else's perspiration. Maybe you never learned a thing about exercising. Well then, this could be for you. If you have half an hour a day, you WILL get results. (If you don't have half an hour a day, you need to get a life first). You will notice a difference from every workout; your friends will notice a difference in you in a month. Much as I like it, I can't give it more than 4 stars, simply because it overstates itself with "gym quality" and "310 lbs of resistance." Still, for what it is, it's good.
Customer Review: Bowflex
I purchased the Bowflex for my husband for a gift. We spent 31/2 hours putting it together. (not to hard if you have assistance). The exercises are easy and effective. Once you get the hang of which parts to connect to where, because there are many attatchments. Good product.
