Combining exercise with church

Imagine a workout facility with only positive attitudes, no vulgar language, and no revealing outfits. Such a place now exists in Fairfield Beach, Ohio, where non-denominational church The Gathering has built a public gym on its campus.

The church's pastor, Tom Gill, has spent more than 30 years as a physical fitness expert, training models, athletes and more. Gill told The Buckeye Lake Beacon the story behind the gym:

When Gill initially had the idea for the gym, he knew he was on the right track when another pastor donated some strength training equipment to Gill's cause. 'God spoke to me about this,' he said. The equipment just needed some elbow grease to look like new. With the addition of a few more pieces of equipment, it was only a matter of days before the gym, which officially opens Oct. 8, was fully outfitted.

Talk about making efficient use of one's time! Maybe they have theme days like "Strength Training Sunday". . .
