To add to the irony of the escalator to the gym, take a look at the list of "10 Tips to Healthy Eating and Physical Activity" posted at the 24 hour fitness website. http://www.24hourfitness.com/html/fitness/youth/tips/
Especially #2.

2. Get Moving! It's easy to fit physical activities into your daily routine. Walk, bike or jog to see friends. Take a 10-minute activity break every hour while you read, do homework or watch TV. Climb stairs instead of taking an escalator or elevator. Try to do these things for a total of 30 minutes every day.
I thought it was Photoshop at first, but looked into it a little further. There was another discussion on it somewhere else on the web and there were a few people who have seen and/or worked out at that gym that verified the existence of the escalator.

BTW, the location of this particular gym, if 24 hour fitness can be called that, is in the Point Loma community of San Diego. I know because it is where I joined the mega-fitnalomerate several years ago. And, yes, I also use the escalator...and I'm underweight.
But if the photo could pull back a bit, what I think is perhaps just as funny is that two units to the right of the 24 hr Fitness is a chiropractor's office...and below the chiro's office: stairs only. So, people hobbled by pain, old-age, and injury are forced to take the stairs, and fit, "athletic" people are riding the escalator. And where does the chiro get most of his business: from 24 Hour Fitness.
So, there is more to the picture than you can see, but it's still funny IMHO.
That's alright of the two gyms in my area that I know of both have dough nut shops in the same strip center. So I get done working out in the morning and go into the parking lot to the smell of fresh dough nuts.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

The gym I workout at has a Barbeque place next to it. How would you like to run into that smell every evening when you have finished up and the only thing in your gut is your PWO Shake.
Only in America...
