I have bounced around several gyms since moving to Austin three years ago, and I absolutely concur that Los Campeones is The Best Gym In Town. But it’s important to know what sets this gym apart and why it matters to those committed to exercising the mind just as much as training the body.
Los Campeones is Well-Equipped: With few exceptions, Los Campeones has every piece of equipment I could want in a gym. And it’s all new!
Los Campeones is Clean: Every gym has patrons who could learn to practice some mindfulness regarding the mess they leave behind for others (or take kindergarten’s refresher course on matching shapes), but those folks are few and far between here. Thanks to the staff and the members who take pride in this space, Los Campeones is undoubtedly the cleanest gym I have ever experienced.
Los Campeones is Quiet(ish): Countless gyms across the country are owned, operated, and managed by those willfully ignorant of the latest neuroscience research. Somehow, pumping extremely loud noises (or whatever is passing as music these days) into the gym and overstimulating the brain became a status quo trend few people have bothered to question, as some have been misled to believe they are doing their members a favor. At Los Campeones, when I crank up my noise-cancelling earbuds to full volume, I can tune out everything and everyone around me, including the gym’s sound system, nearly 90% of the time. It is nearly impossible to accomplish such a feat at most other gyms.
Los Campeones is Not For the Instafamous: Unlike other gyms, at Los Campeones, you will not find a gaggle of patrons investing more time and energy into filming their workouts than actually working out or constantly recording themselves without any consideration to those around them.
Why All of This Matters to Those Chasing Flow: As Steven Kotler and Jamie Wheal explain in their book Stealing Fire, “Defined as an optimal state of consciousness where we feel our best and perform our best, flow refers to those 'in the zone' moments where focus gets so intense that everything else disappears. Action and awareness start to merge. Our sense of self vanishes.” Much like meditation, flow – also known as ecstasis and altered states of consciousness –produces “performance-enhancing, pleasure-producing compounds such as dopamine, endorphins, anandamide, serotonin, and oxytocin,” which can elevate the brain into an alpha or theta state. Of course, working out in a flow state is not as powerful as psychedelics or even floating in a sensory deprivation tank, but it certainly provides a healthy daily dose of ecstasis.
(WARNING! Altered states of consciousness are highly addictive and known to cause severe RBF).
Overstimulating the brain with unnecessary racket, consistently cleaning up after others, and constantly dodging Instacelebrity film crews do not make it impossible to reach an altered state of consciousness, but minimizing these obstacles creates an environment ripe for ecstasis, as flow follows focus.
I have no idea if the owners had this in mind before they opened their doors, but I am truly grateful for the managers, staff, trainers, and members who have not only made Los Campeones The Best Gym in Town, but have created the best space in Austin for those of us who are chasing flow and indulging in ecstasis of altered states of...
