For those wondering, the non-Atlantis piece at our gym is the seated row by Star Trac. Not sure if available by them anymore but it's a really solid piece!

Please look at what Discovery did for their chest supported t-bar row. They use a foot-activated latch to rack the weight as opposed to having to twist to the side.

Most commercial gym owners don't know shit and don't work out. The Gold's I go to recently sorted it's machines by paint colour and the gym owner thought having a bench under a halogen light was a good idea, even after an employee pointed out it was dumb she was told no one would care.

That whole ethos of constant improvement, even down to the minute details again and again and again is so fulfilling. Its like Raymond took his experience from bodybuilding and applied it to this venture virtually on a one for one basis. It's something I really gel with. In my current job I made a lateral move in the company I'm working for to fill a role that had been previously vacant for a long time but it's absence was finally noted in the bottom line. Because of this I'm in the lucky position where I have no set of procedures and processes handed to me from the previous person. I get to look at problems, apply tentative solutions and constantly tweak and refine until the result is night and day different from when I first tackled it. When people talk about creativity, Atlantus actually does this in a way that's not abstract or hippy dippy for the average person, which is beautiful to see.

As a Professional Powder Coater - Only Wiping your Steel with Thinners and blowing it down is not enough for adhesion and to even comply with the Powder Coating Life Expectancy. Every Bare Steel should be prepped by surface blasting then cleaned and powder coated. Not many People realize this But not Surface blasting you Steel prior to Powder Coating will half the life expectancy of the Powder Coating, Once the Surface is chipped it will flake off with no adhesion apart from being heated - It's like Painting without Primer.
