health clubs

Some of the more disgusting examples of the lack of upkeep in health clubs that I have seen in my 30 years in the fitness business:

· The smell of urine on the hot rocks in the sauna. This did more than permeate the locker room. You could smell it in the workout area.
· Indoor pool where the water could best be described as black, not a dark algae green but black.

On April 10, 1899, Teddy Roosevelt delivered his speech, "The Strenuous Life."
