The Perfect Health Club

In an infinite universe, where everything's possible, there's a gym somewhere that has reached its member capacity. All the equipment is being utilised all the time, and the layout is such that members can switch between exercises with minimum waiting and fuss. The only time that new members can join is when existing members move out of the area (which they rarely do, as the club is so good), or die (which they hardly ever do, as they're all so fit!)

Of course, there are plans to expand
, with extra classes being scheduled for the busiest periods, and more kit being purchased (based on utilisation reports).  Other activities, like the running club and outdoor bootcamps, are already popular additions, and provide more capacity at peak times.

The new member waiting list is long, and prospects are happy to pay a deposit (effectively a joining fee) for the privilege of joining the club sometime in the future.
