A new gym in California is looking to cater to individuals in the market, who are are looking for a place where they can mix their love of cannabis with their love of working out.
The new gym, Power Plant Fitness, is said to be the first of its kind in the country. And the plan is for it to have a cannabis consumption room on the premises and it will also have trainers there who will be able to provide advice when it comes to working out after consuming the plant.
Cannabis has been a part of athletic lifestyles for many years and there are no doubt many customers out there in the market who would find the idea appealing that they could go to a place that would allow them the freedom to smoke and workout.
Interestingly, previous research that was published in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence, in this area has indicated that working out might actually enhance the effects of THC.
It's suggested that mixing cannabis with working out might be able to provide benefits in multiple ways. One is by enhancing focus, and the other is recovery. The popularity of mixing the two together has led to a number of products being created in the market for it; with things like hemp protein powders, CBD muscle cream, cannabis protein bites, or THC-infused Epsom salts.
The gym, Power Plant Fitness, is going to be looking at educating its customers on how much cannabis they should take, when they should take it, how it might interact with their workout, and so on. The gym is expected to open in May of this year and membership will be about $150 - $170.
The members of the gym will either be able to bring their own cannabis or they will be able to purchase it from an on-site dispensary at the gym in supplement form.
This gym will help to not only meet the needs of many in the area, but it will also help to deteriorate stereotypes about cannabis smokers; that they are unproductive, lazy, or nonathletic. After all, thanks to cannabis-smoking Olympians like Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt, we should know better by now than to judge.
Perhaps it will only be a matter of time before more gyms follow suit.
