Where Muscle is manufactured ... MSF Gym is fully equipped with two commericial (12 gauge) steel Nautilus-style machines, dumbbells, fully functional dumbbell rack [5lb - 55lb] and Olympic weightlifting bar. Carpet pro- vides a safe, non-slip floor to exercise on. The gym is complete with nearly 45-feet of mirror (necessary for watching yourself exercise as well as posing for bodybuilders), CD/iPod player, whiteboard (for explaining exercise movements, reps, sets and nutritional education), and a wall covered in fitness, nutrition, bodybuilding and historical photos. Benefits The benefits of training in a private gym are numerous.
ment of a large gym;

towels, shampoo and body wash. Just put your stuff in your own stowage compartment, change and your ready to workout. Doors to bathroom and shower lock, affording complete and total privacy. Your car is parked in our private garage.

gains have been made within the confines of these walls. The Lift Fitness G2 Exercise Machine The largest piece of equipment is the Life Fitness G2 Fitness System, with a 160lb weight stack, capable of over twenty independent exercises hitting the traps, deltoids (shoulders), pectorals (chest), biceps, forearms, lats, back and abdominals (abs) as well as the legs (hams and quads) with a wide range of motion (ROM). A proper Nautilus-style machine must have a ROM that is adaptable to the core, strength exercises necessary for building muscle and have the proper ergonomic connections to the weight stack to ensure proper, weighted resistance. Magnum 500 "Y" Bench To build a gargantuan chest, there must be two requirements: safety and isolation. We chose the Magnum 500 "Y" Bench (purchased from Bally's in 2005) because of its attached, plate-loaded, y-shaped bar exclusively for safety. We consider this to be the finest machine bench on the market today. Capable of 450lbs of solid, iron plates it is height adjustable. Stand-alone bench presses are unsafe (it is easy to overextend and injure the deltoid), require an experienced spotter and does not allow the lifter to safely lift to his/her maximum. The Magnum 500 allows full ROM (range of motion) for chest, hits the middle and lower pectorals with the conclusion (lock out) of the movement creating definition and striation in the chest cavity.
No gym is complete without real, authentic, iron dumbbells and the ubiquitous barbell. Dumbbells are used in the basic, core, strength exercises, ranging from presses, curls and kickbacks and the barbell is used for military presses and curls. The Life Fitness G2. Purchased December, 2009, the LF G2 is the top of the line multi-function fitness bench, complete with chest press, leg extension, rotating chest fly and pull down, as well as a full back press and spread! Amenities There is a private client bathroom with shower, private changing room (cubby hole to keep your shoes, lifting gloves, etc.). MSF Gym provides shampoo, fresh Dove body soap and body wash, fresh towels, water and a small fridge to hold your meals or protein shake. Conclusion Many of my clients were intimidated by the large gyms and felt embarrassed doing duck walks and lunges across on open floor by a personal trainer who did not know them or really give a damn whether they succeeded or failed. When we moved to our new location in the Galleria we transformed the downstairs into a fully-functional, private gym, complete with private bathroom, shower and changing area. I use this gym each day for my workouts. MSF Gym was designed with the interest of the client in mind in an atmosphere that allows the client to learn and grow. Bring your own CD or iPod, an enthusiasm and willingness to learn. You'll find a cozy gym where you'll loose fat and gain muscle. MSF Gym is a place, my clients call "home", where we joke around, have fun and build real muscle. MSF Gym is a drawing board for a new body and a healthy lifestyle. It's my gym home and I think you'll find a home here as well. |

| I work out here ... This is where I work out, each day. It is a two-room gym, part of beautiful, two story townhouse in the Galleria. It's where I transform my body (and train clients). I can play my music, concentrate on lifting and use the mirrors to pose. The most important part of MSF Gym are the mirrors! For the client, its a safe, private, location. I have built a solid core of 35 professional clients (attorneys, clinicians, business women and men) who have made MSF Fitness their home. (above) Mike during a grueling 4:30 a.m. workout. |
