I think if you would just leave them alone you'd be OK :D

Also, truck stop gyms could perhaps work if there was a membership required and decent equipment.
I carry dumbbells and roller blades as well as running and hiking shoes.
If you can't find the time for exercise 3-4 times a week your just not trying. It's easy and I now have places around the country that I have been to a number of times to hike or run and try and coordinate my travel so I can take the time to do it.

Its easy to carry a bike in the truck. If not a full size mountain bike you can get a Dahon that will fold up and ride. And its an awesome way to see some of the places where you might be laid over. Riding a bike is a great cardio workout. It only takes 30 minutes 3 or 4 days a week. And a jump rope is even easier to carry along.

I was thinking about a Truck stop with Nice steam showers, laundry facilities and a gym with decent equipment would be a big hit.

But I can tell you there is alot more money in selling snacks and other things (meaning the owners usually want as much room for this type stuff rather then a gym!)

I was considering buying a small truck stop and offering good hot steam shower, (with a strong emphasase on cleanleness) laundry facilities, a gym, a good truck wash,and small restaurant, I think truckers are going to more larger facilities (Flying J etc)

not sure my concept would be profitable, and if I could get a enough truckers to stop in a smaller Truck stop?

Who needs a truck stop gym??

I always got plenty of physycal activity.

I'd climb out of my truck and walk into the truck stop, unless there was a JB Hunt recruiter banging on doors and assaulting anyone within a 50ft. radius, in which case, I'd run!!

That took care of the workout from the waist down.

Then, I'd hit the cafe, order up a chicken fried steak, and start exercising my arms and wrists, along with my jaws!!

Then, I'd walk across the street to the nearest tavern, and exercise my elbow; after that, I'd stumble back across the street, and stumble back to my truck, where I would then proceed to urinate on the tires of the truck parked next to mine.

Then, I'd climb back into my truck, and pour myself into the bunk.

Nope!! No neede for a truck stop gym!!

I say No Way to that. All ready have to beat off the Gay's in the restrooms..

Now, why would anyone care if a communal shower was available in addition to a private shower? It would be a time saving option to the lines waiting for a private shower. It could be offered as a 2 fer 1. Two communal showers for the price of a private shower. All I'm looking at is the time wasted waiting for a shower. Instead of waiting in line or waiting for off peak times showers are not in high demand, I would use a communal shower. Quick in and out and clean I be.

FITNESS AND THE GYM HAS BECOME A HUGE PART OF MY LIFE. IF I WASNT LOCAL AND HAD TO BE OTR I WOULD RELY HEAVILY ON FITNESS ROOMS AT TRUCK STOPS. AS LONG AS ITS MAINTAINED AND CLEANED. GET A QUICK PUMP IN. BUT BEING LOCAL I ROLL TO THE GYM EVERYAFTERNOON LIKE CLOCKWORK.. I DO THINK ITS A GOOD IDEA, TO MANY UNHEALTHY TRUCKERS OUT THERE, THAT IF THERE WAS SOMETHING LIKE A FITNESS ROOM ID BET A LOT WOULD GET IN FOR A QUICK SET RATHER THEN SIT IN THE ARCADE
