Guardian Angel Spirit on Guard (A Thai Spiritual Lion named Sing Toe) adorned with Buddhist Icons .... In Northern Thailand (where Big Gym City is located) …. There is belief in "Animism" which is that things (such as trees, rivers, stones & even plants [like Aoe Vera]) have living souls .... It is a belief in a spiritual presense, worthy of respect (& sometimes fear) .... That is why you will often see the trunks of old trees encircled with orange or red/brown cloth sashes .... Even if you do not believe in such traditions, definately better not to laugh (or scoff) at such 2,500+ year old beliefs ... Just remember that every "sensible" person once knew the world was flat .... Thank You.

THE EXOTIC MAIN GATE of Big Gym City with double security walls & many reveered Thai Gods & Feared Asian Demons on guard .... Admired by all visitors including Monks & Citizens of Udon Thani .... The only known 7m Double Eagle Gate in ALL Asia. Situated ON the Udon Thani City ringroad midway between two groups of superstores ( Tesco / Carrfour & Big C / Macro [map]). (Please note that the bolt-on Big Gym City sign is temporarily removed during maintenance & construction phases)
__________________________________________
EXOTIC WEB ADDRESS @ Big Gym City is 10m above the Udon Thani City Ring Road & HIGHLY VISIBLE by all passing traffic (which is soon due tp get MUCH busier because of this same road upgrade to m4 lane expressway).... This sign is also registered & approved by the Thai Government at the very reasoanble annual business tax of 3,600 Thai Baht/year. (Please note that the bolt-on www.biggymcity sign is temporarily removed during maintenance & construction phases)
____________________________________________________
UDON THANI CITY RING ROAD IS GETTING MUCH BUSIER .... private & government upgrades are progressing ( checkout developments ) & many housing developments are starting construction on either side of Big Gym City with progressively heavier traffic on this ONLY connecting road between Tesco #2 / Carrfour & Big C / Macro superstore groups (this section of ringroad is even now being offered to Bangkok contractors.) .... Pedestrian Overpass also planned directly adjacent to Big Gym City across the new expressway (to connect the various schools directly opposite with the Udon Thani City [Big Gym City] side.
_________________________________________
Famous Thai Temples (Wats) are on either side of Big Gym City & on certain days HUNDREDS & HUNDREDS of Buddhists from all over Thailnd park outside Big Gym City's 8 meter high ornate main gates & either "oggle" the infrastructure or beg to use one of the 17 bathrooms .... What can you say? (definitely NOT "no") ... These deeply religious peolpe have traveled for maybe 8-12 hours on a coach to pray in the Temple for a couple of hours ... Then sit on the same coach for another 8-12 hours to get back home .... WOW!
_________________________________
THE OBLIQUE MUSCLES MACHINE is a favourite of the ladies who wish to strengthen & tone those quite difficult to reach muscle groups along the sides of the waist .... BUT the guys also use it to strengthen (& help prevent injury to) these absolutely vital muscles which control ALL sport (& general movement) "twists & turns" of the upper torso such as are constantly utilized in virtually ALL "action" activities particularly (examples only) football (soccer), martial arts & boxing, basketball & squash, rugby (yes Guys Aussi Rules too), tennis & badminton, discus & javelin, horse riding & rodeos etc etc. (This machine was designed & built [© 2007 Steve Dolby all rights reserved])

THE ARM WRESTLING MACHINES (2 models) are a favourite of the guys who wish to strengthen & tone those quite difficult to exercise & train muscles on the insides of the forearms (as a side benefit the biceps, pecs & shoulders also receive something of a workout) .... Of course as the name implies these two machines are specific trainers for the ancient strength competition of Arm Wrestling which has over the years (& centuries) probably been instrumental in avoiding more street & bar fights (& other more physically damaging male conflicts) than any other "sport" (although thankfully since football & rugby etc arrived countries can now settle their differences on the sports rather than battle field) (This machine was designed & built [© Steve Dolby 2007 all rights reserved])

DO NOT FORGET YOUR CARDIO SESSION to improve blood circulation, stretch muscles & ligaments/joinrs & to generaly warmup (or down) your body before/after a hard workout .... Or you can follow the example of many "Associates of Arnold " who can hardly fit though a narrow door BUT get their cardio by miltiple heavy sets of heavy heavy weights over 1-2 hours whilst rehydrating frequently & finally having a good protein shake (or meal) after.... Don't forget to do (for example) 1 warmup set at about 50-75% of maximum BEFORE following with heavy weight/load sets (usually 2-7 sets depending on your ultimate objective)

The baby climbing vine plants (one visible next to the closest column [example of fully grown plant in photo below]) .... have just been planted & the roots pass thru a section of 4 inch diameter PVC pipe (which has a 1 inch lip above floor level to prevent pool water entry) but goes directly to the earth below (no need to water the vine after a couple of months)
