Confessions of a Water Fountain

I'm probably the most popular piece of equipment in your gym

You might not have noticed, because…

  • Nobody posts selfies with me
  • Nobody asks how to use me
  • Nobody boasts about setting a new PB on me

Yet almost everyone visits me...

  • The first-time member who isn't quite sure where to go
  • The regular who's been coming for twenty years
  • The keen beans training for HYROX
  • The grandmother attending her first exercise referral class
  • The personal trainer
  • The cleaner
  • The CEO

I'm one of the few places in the club where everyone has something in common.
