I think mine should be perfect with a Concept2 rower and a Tectrix stat. bike. Well, if I can add a full time aerobics class to watch while in the bike it should be perfect.

sounds good diesal, when can I sign up at this gym? Can we also have some quality control for incoming members, such as IQ tests and fat calipers?
