    Default Any chance Oxygen Gym could come to USA?

    With the advent of "fitness" facilities taking the place of your local neighborhood barbell gym Oxygen Muscle Factory seems like a bodybuilders dream and Bader Bodai seems like a Joe Gold/Wieder for the 21st century. Is there any hope he (bader) could delve into the US gym market. I'm sure if he opened in NYC, LA or Vegas he would make a fortune, although the start up cost for the gyms he builds has to be in the tens of millions.

    But, seriously, that would be awesome.

    What are gyms you'd love to visit but haven't?

    I've never been to Gold's Venice, Steve and Bev's, or Strong & Shapley.

    Bucket list!

    Have been to Diamond Gym. Amazing.

    Many quality gyms out there I have been privileged to visit. Gold's Venice and Bev's Powerhouse are at the top of my list to visit, how I do not travel within driving distance (2 hours).
    Training and diet consulting available. Send me a PM.

    Although Oxygen Gym are great the equipment is what other gyms have. It's the way they treat the pros that is the special part. That and the 'anabolic chicken'. You've already got a couple of high end (and expensive) club type gyms in NY.

    I got to go to Gold Venice more than 20 years ago but the magic was already gone.

    Went to muscle beach and World Gym on that trip.

    They have a booth set up for the Arnold next weekend so I'm thinking it will be here soon.
