Interesting piece ab out a gym using the latest technology to be more appealing to athletes. It's getting results:

It used to be that the dumbbell was the ceiling for sports training technology. That's not the case anymore, not even when it comes to local gyms. When Leader Health and Fitness opened months ago, the owners wanted to introduce technology that no other gym in the county could offer. Using plans originally designed for a club in New York City, technology is one of the club's biggest perks. Leader Health and Fitness has already installed a 60-yard Mondo track for speed workouts. It has a 20-by-40-foot turf field for sports exercises. "This has really been a match made in heaven," Kuhn said. "There's no where else in York big enough to work on your 40 time except maybe The Blast (a soccer and indoor hockey facility in East Manchester Township). When I started training (in December) it was too cold to go outside, so I really gained some valuable training time indoors." Kuhn dropped his 40-yard time from 4.87 seconds (his best time at Shippensburg) to 4.56.

I wrote about Mondo tracks for Slate a while back here.
