"... dwarves who shout encouragement to motivate exercise."

So freakin' awesome.  They say it's not a gimmick, but I mean, come on.  That said, it does seem like a pretty cool gimmick.

Anyone live near the "Bank" area in London want to go check this place out?

I used to bench press my little brother and sister all the time.


Also, my cats.

[Spluff]

Man, that would be hella fun. It would be hard though, as people aren't balanced too well.

[Dazed]

It is pretty challenging. I benched one of my very small friends once, and, a word of advice: if you're going to try it, make damn sure you find someone who isn't ticklish.

The article lists a few other quirky programs that the gym offers, so i think this is just a gimmick to get attention.  Come on, WAG workouts?

They have made special machines to bench press the people.

I think the best part is the fact that what you are lifting is yelling encouragement at you.

If you can't make some reps on a set lifting a lady she starts yelling at you for insinuating she is fat.

[Inlander]

How do I get in on this racket? How do I get one of these jobs where I get to sit down and shout at people??

[David_Dovey]

How much do you weigh Harry?

It might help if you gained or lost weight until you are a multiple of five.

[Gemmwah]

This is such a ridiculous idea, but I really want to go down to Bank and have look.

[Patrick]

I have bern benchpressed by my friend before. I think I still have those pictures. I think it helps that his upper arm is like twice as thick as my legs.

[yelley]

it also probably helps that you only weigh around 12 pounds.

What the fuck is a WAG?

[valley_parade]

I always thought it referred to "Wifes and Girlfriends", specifically of soccer players or golfers. o.O

[october1983]

Man this place is just around the corner from where I used to work. I'm basically sure that nothing would motivate me more than being shouted at by an angry dwarf so I'm almost tempted to check it out.

[Liz]

Dicky I am going to need a photo of you benching either the tiny, tiny lady or the really tall emo boy.

Consider it a late birthday present!

Yeah. There are quite a few girls over here that wish to be WAGs. Their only life goal is to marry a footballer. It makes me sad for a second, and then I just laugh at them.

[Patrick]

Good god that's depressing to think about.
