The latest in high tech and fancy gym equipment

Gyms are moving up, in terms of technology at least. The treadmill with the waterbottle holder used to be in highest demand, but now it's a piece of junk if there's no iPod port or video screen. These days you can see how many calories you've burned, see your heart rate rise and fall in real time, and watch your favorite music videos while you workout. And besides new fancy features on age old equipment, the machines themselves are evolving into new and truly space-age designs. From machines that can learn and adjust to your personal abilities to those with technology borrowed from NASA to change your effective body weight, it's amazing what they can do these days in the name of fitness.

Yet somehow we're bigger than ever? Something messed up about that!
