The 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle. The quintessential muscle car. Born in an era when cars were just cars. It contained no power windows, no power door locks, and rolled off the production line with more horsepower than cubic inches. With frame bending torque it would staple its passengers to their seats and made the kids hang onto the door handles. Simply put - it was a beast. A strong and powerful beast.During the same era another beast existed. Its purpose was to be strong and powerful just as a muscle car. These beasts were warriors. Warriors not made of steel, but of living flesh. Steel was its enemy, but only during battle. During time of peace, an ally. These beasts were strength athletes. Strength athletes comprised of weightlifters, powerlifters and strongmen. They could be found mastering their trades in cult like gyms. Gyms located in garages, basements, and dark rooms that resembled dungeons. The very same places where muscle cars are found.
Unfortunately, as the muscle car has been replaced by fashion, so has the strength athlete. Cars are now outfitted with GPS systems, fart-pipe exhausts, and with rims that resemble hats with propellers on them with no functional value. Similarly, strength athletes have been replaced by men whose physiques are "all show, and no go" and have no functional value what so ever. Furthermore, their dusty gyms have been replaced by commercial "fitness" centers whose interiors are painted by Barney and Friends. That must end right now and that is why Bowtie Gym was created.
Just as the founders of Chevrolet were inspired by a bowtie, the Bowtie Gym name is inspired by its permanent resident which is pictured above. A 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle. It's strong, powerful, and represents a philosophy that can only be found in the underground gyms that are located away from the likes of Barney and Friends.
Welcome to Bowtie Gym.
