Gym Offers Customers Human Dumbbells

A gym in central London is offering its customers a chance to use a set of human dumbbells to exercise with. The five dumbbells wear Lycra catsuits which label their weight and sit on specially adapted machines while shouting words of encouragement. Gymbox owner Richard Hilton said, "A lot of our members felt that lifting metal weights was boring and not especially motivating." If you had to chase your weight, and wrestle it into submission before lifting it, you could get your cardio done too.
