zFitness_ Not really. Something like a treadmill has electronics, it has software, it has moving parts. They're expensive and more complicated to make, they require maintenance, they use up electricity and they're prone to malfunctions. Squat rack is basically a bunch of metal bars welded together. Very simple piece of eqiupment that requires absolutely no maintenance and will never break down.

***** Yeah, I understand that cardio equipment brings people in. But it's not like gyms can have only squat racks or only cardio equipment.Let's look at my gym for example: 1 squat rack and several dozen cardio equipment. Now, if they remove 2 cardio machines and put a squat rack and another bench press in their place (with an extra bar + plates), they will *significantly increase* their barbell training capacity, and their cardio capacity will drop negigibly since it's rarelly used to its fullest. Cardio bunnies wouldn't even notice the lack of that one or two treadmills. In that sense, buying extra barbell training equipment could pay off nicely. It would bring more weight trainees to the gym and at the same time wouldn't hurt cardio bunnies at all. Because currently what they're doing is they're driving away people who want to weight train by wasting space on a bunch of treadmills that aren't even being used most of the time. That's not really what keeps the gym running, is it?

Bart has really impressed me with how Barbell Brigade has turned out. When he first mentioned the idea of a gym, I knew it would be better than your typical commercial gym. But never would I had thought that it would have turned out to be such an impressive and unique place and community. Just goes to show when you're truly passionate about something, it just develops and grows.

I currently lift at a low budget commercial gym. I'd be lying if I said it was the best gym I trained at, but it has a decent enough squat rack, enough weights, benches and dumbbells. I've made a few acquaintances there, so there's usually someone to talk to about training. But there's no sense of camaraderie within the gym as a whole. The lifters do their thing, and the cardio bunnies do their thing. The best gym experience I've had is from training at a Crossfit gym. If you can avoid the preachy Crossfitters, everyone is super friendly, and I got lucky in that the coaches at said gym were super knowledgeable about powerlifting and Oly lifting.

Everyone there was super friendly and knowledgeable. If you're ever in the area, you need to check it out.

The camaraderie at my gym is great. People make sure your knees don't go past your toes, your barbell doesn't go too low on the bench, you don't need to do unnecessarily dangerous deadlifts (or a friendly reminder to use the smith machine if you do)!. To top it off there's only one power rack/barbell so you really get intimate with your gym members when you have to wait 1 hour for your turn. The best part is the music! Katy Perry, Taylor Swift are my jams and are personally responsible for my pr's. Great environment!

If your goal is bodybuilding or powerlifting, then going to a gym that's based on your specific goals with an environment full of people with similar goals is only going benefit you by motivating you. As far as success is concerned, regardless of which gym you go to it won't make a difference that's if you truly want something as bad as you wana breath.

I would love to set up a gym like this one day. You would need to set up in a pretty big city to make it work though. Need enough serious lifters in an area to generate enough memberships to make it work. Don't want to be selling memberships to anyone who isn't serious. You also need a shit tonne of capital investment. This equipment isn't cheap! People in LA are so lucky to have a facility like this available to them
