Gyms at truck stops??

i had that idea as well about 2 years ago,just dont have the money....lol

 

There was an attempt to put gyms in a few truckstops years ago. I forget the name but they were in Pilot N. Little Rock and Petro W.Memphis. There were a few other places but i forget where. They had them set up in double wide trailers on premises. They lasted about 3 months and went away cuz drivers wouldn't use them.

 

Unfortunately, the demand just doesn't seem to be there. There's a small number of us who would love to see workout rooms and healthy food choices, but we're a minority. Our best option is just to provide it for ourselves, i.e. bring workout gear and healthy food with us in our trucks.

 

hell i would love for there to be gyms....i always feel good after a good workout...last time i was at the Petro in Gadsden, AL...they had a gym in their building

 

I-80 TA in Wolcott, IA has a dentist, i think it might be the only truckstop that has a dentist heh

 

The Oasis truck stop in Idaho on I 84 milepost 182 has a workout room downstairs where the showers and tv rooms and game rooms are, first place ive seen that,, anyway they had it last time i was there.

 

Every city has gym's, Most have truck parking in the area of the gym. there fairly cheep to use without joining and I have some give me guest passes for the night.

 

I think thats a great idea, I mean we sit and drive for hours, stop and eat and drive hours more. So its evident we are going to pick up weight. A gym would be nice to stay healthy. But lets start by just getting clean showers
