Fitness & Bodybuilding
Since nineteenhundredandeighty. Almost 50 years.

For everybody!
We don't care on height, weight, color, etc. Pink skin? So what...?
This is only one race of Homo Sapiens on this world since at least 75,000 years.
Every human being shares 99.99% of the genetic code.
The tiny remaining .01% is responsible for shape, color of eyes, hair, skin, height and individual weight and more.
The genetic code does never affect religion and such. This belongs only to your education.

Control your weight!
Not necessarily today. But for sure tomorrow. And the day after.
Your weight shouldn't be just two digits (unless you are very short).
The maximum weight the scales can show before they overload is 444 lbs.
Some gyms have scales up to 999 lbs but this is rare.

Six foot, seven foot, eight foot, whoa!
Nobody cares about your 345.6 lb footprint. Tall people have more power.
The range for free weight training is 4'...8'; for machine training it's 5'...7'.
System codes are HM-45; HM-56; HM-67; HM-78; HM-46; HM-57; HM-68; HM-47; HM-58; HM-48.
The digits stand for height in feet. HM-57 suits people very well between little under 5' and little over 7' and so on.
Olympic Powerlifting (Snatch, Clean-and-jerk) follows HM-39.
You may see four digit HM codes: They give exact suitable height in inches where the maximum
range is 3999 (from 39" to 99").


Non-alcoholic. Contains Iron. Zero nicotine.
Alcohol is for desinfection only. Nobody drives you to desinfect your esophagus.
Our world is made of HEAVY METAL. We convert iron into power.
Smoking is never okay in the gym. Indoors and outdoors. May be allowed above +1250° or below -250°.

Sauna can help to relax.
ARGENTUM and AURUM gyms only: The regular finnish sauna provides temperatures around 200°F / 90°C.
Humidity is below 20% rH.
There are steam rooms as well often with different flavors. Steam rooms provide temperatures of up to 120°F / 50°C
along with a humidity of 100% rH. It is highly recommended that you secure hearing
aids in a dry and cool place in order not to destroy them in excess heat and/or humidity.
The same applies for other delicate electronic equipment unless specified for extreme
environment.

Please obey the sauna rules. Have a shower before you start. Use a long towel to lay on.

Solarium (tanning) only naturally with our sun.
