A platform-style gym where you select the level of difficulty, speed and duration of the tasks you must perform to get out of the place.
See-saws, rolling barrels, oil drums, fireball, concrete pies, elevators, rivets, conveyor belts, the whole nine yards.
Fitness with an early 80's flair.
Avoid the staff in giant ape suits. Rescue Pauline, the damsel/receptionist, if that's what turns you on.

Overalls and engineer's cap optional? |

Gimme a break. No-one ever did a gym like this. |
|
| |
[link]: apparently someone has thought of it, but not as a gym. |
|

Still, in my opinion, this is one of the best, worst ideas ever. [+] |

I actually had to research Donkey Kong to write this idea. I was on the corporate treadmill by the time it hit the market. No time for computer games, and I'm probably the last of those people who never really "got" them. They started to come out about 18 months after I left school. |

Now, you see, this is more like it, Ubie. I
actually think this is a good idea. OK,
maybe a little less of the Donkey Kong
(what??) theme, but a gym where you have
to compete to get through levels in this
way would be fun. You'd have to figure
out how to ensure that you didn't waste
too much floorspace and capacity on the
hardest levels, but otherwise a [+] |

Nice idea - probably better than the "Frogger" gym. |

Keeping things on topic: Has anyone else noticed a trend toward this sort of thing in crappy TV shows, recently? |

And thus a challenge has been thrown to ground:
To bring sweet poesy to the long of tooth.
To gild such simple thoughts with rhyming sound
And perhaps restore a little youth!
So on a platform in an ape-run gym,
There languishes a sweet receptionist!
Her dress is long and pink and sheer as sin,
But block'd with barrels and the monkey's fist!
Thus UnaBubba slips some spandex on,
First his left leg, and his right one last
(whilst through speakers plays an 80's song...
and feeds a passion that cannot be surpassed...!)
The ladders fall before his lover's duty,
Sculpting jiggling UnaBubba booty!

Well done, [mylodon]. Very nicely written. |

There was a fitness-ape joke back when I was in high school: |
|
| |
A guy walks into a gym and asks for a quick weight-loss workout. He pays for the $50 "special treatment", which turns out to be a beautiful woman wearing nothing but gym shoes, who says, "If you catch me, you can have me." |
|
| |
He enjoys the workout so much that he returns the next day, and pays for the $100 "special treatment", which turns out to be two beautiful women wearing nothing but gym shoes, who say, "If you catch us, you can have us." |
|
| |
He enjoys that workout so much that he returns the next day, and pays for the $150 "special treatment", which turns out to be a gorilla wearing a sign that reads, "If I catch you, I can have you." |
|
| |
I told my wife your joke, [baconbrain]. She laughed a lot, then asked if the "gorilla" was just one of the usual testosterone receptacles that pass as male personal trainers at gyms. |
