Giants and Midgets
Everything at my gym is made for giants.
The weighlifting machines, especially, are made for people of huge proportions. I can barely reach the handles, even when the seat is set on the highest possible setting.
This is true for just about everything there... the drinking fountain, the eliptical machines. Even the stairs are taller than usual!
The only exception is the shower. Imagine my surprise when I pulled the plastic curtain aside, turned on the water, stepped into the stream... and discovered that the showerhead was lined up with my chin! It was made for munchkins.
I'm only 5'3" and I had to scrunch down to wash my hair! That's the first time I've ever had that problem.
In my opinion, more gyms should cater to munchkins... in areas other than just the shower. There could be a 24 Hour Fitness Small... like Target Greatland or Super K-Mart. Hmmm... perhaps that's not an image that a gym wants to project. They seem to cater to a different demographic. Beefcake! BEEFCAKE!
