Gyms in London, Health Clubs, Spas and Fitness Centres

A GYM in London has replaced its dumbbells with human weights - including dwarves who shout encouragement to motivate exercise.

Gymbox at Bank - in the centre of the capital’s financial district - introduced its bizarre fitness regime with human weights ranging from a 155kg man to a 30kg female.

The human dumbbells wear black leotards with their weights printed across their chests and sit on adapted machines to let the weightlifter visualise what they are lifting.
