Here is a poll for the group. If you have different machines from different lines and in different colors, do you think it matters how they are arranged in a studio? Do aesthetics matter more or workout flow? Let’s assume that a studio is not ordering brand new machines from the same manufacturer or investing in powder coating or painting existing machines to match. For argument sake, let’s also say they all have black upholstery since that is easy to either paint or replace. For reference, I have attached a photo from Strength Studio in Minnesota. I’m not sure if they’re in the group, but I think they have done a good job of combining different machines into a very professional looking space.

*EDIT: Share your best stories about Mike. Who was he to you? What did you learn? How will you keep his legacy alive?* I propose today’s coffee hour should be in memory of Mike Mentzer. He passed 25 years ago today. I encourage everyone to bring their best stories and what we all have learned from him. Cheers, Jeremy

Discover Strength CEO, Luke Carlson, recently visited MedX Europe in Hamburg and spent time reviewing @Eggert Barwich's MedX equipment. I’ll be interviewing Luke on the podcast soon to get his takeaways from the visit. What stood out? What did he learn? How do they compare to other machines? If you have a question for Luke, post it below and I’ll do my best to include it in the interview. Interview is taking place July 1st.

I own a lot of literature on High Intensity Strength Training

With Lawrence not hosting Coffee Hour for a couple of weeks if there is interest I will do my own. Those interested please comment and also DM me. We’ll figure out times etc.
