Thoughts?

What better way to spend your time during layovers, delays, or just being thru security way to early? Most people carry on and already have a change if clothes.

What would you be willing to pay for access to a room with a handful of well kept treadmills, ellipticals, dumbells, smith machine, basic machines, etc?

usually large airports with hotels in them will let you use their gym for a day rate

As long as showers are required afterwards.

But then you'd get your suitcase clothes all mildew-y. And I don't think I'd come early enough to actually workout.

Who in the absolute hell needs to squeeze in a workout THAT BAD that they have to do it at an airport layover?

Brothels at airports would be better.

I love to work out but i doubt id squeeze a work out in between flights. Plus i haven't dealt with many layovers that were extremely long.

Yea, I've always thought, this guy next to me on the plane, he's not sweaty enough.

I just walk the length of the terminal and back if I want some exercise.

i liked your presentation, and you seem like a driven entrepreneur. but i'm just not seeing how we can scale this. the concept is too new and not proven yet. i don't see where i can add value. i like to invest in things i'm passionate about, and for that reason, i'm out.

its a great idea if you ask me. I travel a good bit for work, and would use this.

It has to have towel service though, but they could clean up. I have been stuck with 4 hr layovers, working out is sure better than drinking.
