GO TO THE GYM, GET HIGH

A new gym opening in San Francisco will allow members to consume marijuana on-site while working out. Named Power Plant Fitness, owners claim it’s the world’s first cannabis-friendly gym. Co-founder Jim McAlpine says: “It won’t be a place to get high and just screw around. We are focused on the athletic side, not the cannabis side.” McAlpine explains that the gym looks to cannabis as a tool for focus and recovery. New members will take a “cannabis performance assessment” under the supervision of staff to determine the “most optimal ways to consume.” Some might find a bite out of a pot brownie gives them the push they need to complete a circuit training workout, while others find it knocks them on the floor. “We will be helping our members figure out how is best for them to ingest their cannabis,” McAlpine says. The facility will allow edibles and vaping on-site to start, plans to produce a line of edibles designed for pre-workout focus and post-workout recovery, and plans to add an outdoor smoking deck for those who actually want to smoke.
* Because nothing makes you want to hit the barbells like a couple of deep, strong bong hits.
* “Dude … why did we come here again?”
* Power Plant Fitness … oh, I see … the plant is marijuana … that’s good.
* That name’s pretty darn clever especially when you consider how stoned they were when they thought it up.
* Some of the new workouts include advanced sofa sitting.
* Then there’s the bong lift.
* It turns out most of the exercise comes from going to the convenience store for munchies.
