What do all of these points have in common? The Anti-Gym! The Anti-Gym is this hyped up Denver based, well, gym. Their method, developed by founder Michael Karolchyk, is not like any you've seen before at other gyms, and is quickly making him one of the most hated men in the broad "Wellness" industry. The Anti-Gym's website uses the tagline: "Where health clubs want to f**k you over and keep you in the dark, Anti-Gym dares its clients to have sex with the lights on." This gym is certainly not for the faint of heart or "my-new-year's-resolution-is-to-join-a-gym" types. Take a look at this clip:



From a recent Daily Camera article:

"If you slack off too much, personal trainers will chuck Hostess Cup Cakes at you and "moo" at you. Sometimes they shoot you with Nerf darts or handcuff you to the treadmill.

They do random car searches, too. While members work out, trainers scour the cars with flashlights on a hunt for junk food. If you fail your random urine analyses -- checking for excessive sugar, not drugs or alcohol -- the latter two are cool -- you can get blackballed from the club altogether."

Most of the response to the Anti-Gym has been pretty negative. Much of their official blog is devoted to justifying their methods. Of course, if you are already pretty fit and work out regularly, you probably might find this type of motivation an interesting change. The people who choose to go to the Anti-Gym obviously do so because they can handle the taunting and are motivated by it. Love it or hate it, it's gotten some pretty phenomenal attention lately, especially since people love to hate.

Oh, and they've got commercials!
