Transcript excerpt
What happened to aesthetic gyms? Now everything is so efficient and serious. What used to be aspirational has turned into clinical. It's time to rank aesthetics into their rightful place. We need a full Greco Roman revival complete with frescoes and columns, perhaps some Turkish bathhouse inspired locker rooms, chandeliers instead of weird LED strips, large indoor trees enclosing a flock of elliptical machines, art deco mosaics to the human spirit. Imagine something like a hotel lobby, but with gym equipment instead of furniture.
