You may wonder where the bodytweakers are and what they are up to. We’ve traveled all the way to Madrid, Spain, to visit the annual Fitness Fair. Hundreds of companies from all around the world present their new achievements (products) in all health & fitness related areas.

Generally, you see a lot of fitness equipment and gadgets that cost a lot of money, but provide rather suspiciuos results. Imagine a “thing” that weights what it seems like 1000 lbs (500 kg?), takes away more space than a regular couch and costs about 1000 USD. Now the fun part is that you use it to do triceps extensions. Apart from that it counts your calories, gives you advice about your nutrition and greets you by your name.
I guess such an investment can be made by a gym, but as a regular person, you have to be stupid to put 1000 bucks on the table and buy that bunch of metal only to do your triceps workouts (and even then it’s only 1 exercise!).

Yeah, it’s always fun to see all that unnecessary consumerism in action when you are on a fitness fair. We should get a stand one of these years and show all these people how to do “all that” using only a bench and a pair of dumbbells.

Look at this thing:

Does it look like a torture seat to you used by the Spanish Inquisition? That “home gym” would cost you over 1,700 USD. What it does? Nothing you can’t do without it.

We’ll post more photos and info about what we have seen and learned at the Fitness Fair (aka Fitness Inquisition) in the next few days.
