A complete guide to gyms: it takes the reader through the process of selecting one, establishing workout routines, and implementing good form for the hundreds of exercises illustrated with photos within. I slightly prefer "The Book of Muscle" over this book (I like its program better), but I'm glad to have both.

Good review of workouts and gym equipment. I really like the photography and breakdown of workouts into sections.
