I went over to the rack to do squats and to my surprise the bars are attached to tracks. Because free weights incorporate the stabilizing muscles that enable you to perform the movements you choose to make and are more effective in producing overall muscular strength and power gains these faux free-weights are just plain silly. I asked the girl at the desk if they could supply bars and an area to do squats, deadlifts, cleans, etc. She said ?no? and she tried to convince me that most people bring in their own bars and do squats in the middle of the walkway, LOL sure they do. If you are serious about fitness and strength training involving free-weights, than this is NOT the gym for you. I just wish they would have been upfront with me in the first place.
