Equipment Gym Bolts Hip Thrust Machine to Weightlifting Platform

Post image

The gym I am currently going to has 4 wooden weightlifting platforms that are regularly used for both powerlifting and weightlifting. Management decided to bolt a hip thrust machine down on one of them. Is this whack?

The issue is I’m from a smaller town so we don’t really have any other options besides a planet fitness. This gym is honestly great but the original owner passed away and the people who took over just don’t have the same vision.

Do you have some people who also train with you? Maybe start your own thing :)

We have definitely thought about it. Maybe sometime in the future. I think we all have dreamed of having our own spot.
