Observation

  During the week I chose to observe the gym just to get a sense of how to observe and what to look for. I notices there were a lot of technology placed around the gym. Lined up against the back left wall were treadmills. On the treadmills were T.V's for people to enjoy while they run. That's a big step forward in technology, making working out a little bit exciting. Also the bench machines have changed a lot in the last couple of years. Instead of trying to balance the weight bar yourself, now the machines does it for you so you can focus on the work out. That was also a big step in technology that some people may not of noticed, also making the bench safer.
  Second, a lot of people bring their own technology to the gym. For example, more than half of the people were using headphones. Of the people using headphones, only about 30 percent were using ear buds, the rest had the new headphones that cove your ears. Also, there was the occasional people who brought their Ipad with them to work out.
 Near the end of my observation I understood working out has changed a lot, all because of new technology. Some people might argue the change is bad and is not working as good like the old machines. On the other hand, a lot of people seemed to enjoy the new technology that was added to the machines.
