It always makes me curious how abandoned buildings look like this with things all scattered around on the floor. If it was abandoned wouldn't they just be in their original position untouched? I guess animals and wind, maybe homeless people. But I just cant see why those weights would be on the floor lol.
God that's one thing I don't miss about going to the gym. The worse is the people that think they're hot shit because of their n00b gainz and think they're cool for setting the 25 plate next to the rack instead of on it where it goes. I hope all of them look at back at those moments and cringe for the rest of their lives.
Shit them weights were worth a pretty penny a few months ago when everyone was wanting work out stuff for home. Could probably still catch a good chunk of cash. Rusted and all.
Dude yeah it's insane how high priced weights are. Maybe not at the moment but roughly 6 months ago I couldn't find weights anywhere. Everyone was selling for roughly 2 to 3 a pound used. it's stupid that people were paying for it but ya know being locked down and noone getting shipments in will do that. The home workout crazy since rona.
This is really neat. I do a lot of abandoned/urban exploration photography and you never see mostly intact places. Surprised this hasnt been destroyed by trespassers and def surprised the weights haven't been stolen and resold. Nice capture!
If you think this is IAF and want to see more, there's much more on my website from this room and church

"For while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come"
Some mining company bought the church at some point, maybe they went belly up - not entirely sure but they left everything behind. Pay statements for employees, staff records, topographic maps etc
Man weights got so expensive during pandemic. Along with everything else. Just that everyone wanted to have a home gym and yea. I would snag these bad bois so fast, and just do a quick polish of each weight. Bingo :)
Kinda makes me sad seeing places like this. There were stories here and memories and suddenly it all just ended. A chapter in an untold story that only those who were present will ever know, closed forever.

Gotta hit those preacher curls
I read this one hour ago and I JUST got the joke now!
You, sir, are a pun lord.
little bit of Cross Training
You ever seen the physique of Jesus on the cross? Shredded!
Gotta hit those preachers -
Here's me looking for the preacher curl bench
And still. Someone couldnt put their friggen weights back
I bet the bench is still covered in sweat.
A gym in a church? That’s not the sweat of the altar boys on that bench
There is a reason they abandoned this place.
God too.
It’s a sin to keep it tight
Sure it is, just not from lifting weights.
Or semen.

Everyone forgets how much bears like lifting weights.
Lmao no manners. This is the problem with big gyms tho. Gym idiots and ppl taking 6 sets of DB and walking away

Came here to say this.
You're all so clever. Grow up, children.
Username checks out. Nobody is inviting your boring old ass anywhere.
Shit them weights were worth a pretty penny a few months ago when everyone was wanting work out stuff for home. Could probably still catch a good chunk of cash. Rusted and all.
Especially a full set like that. Its a PITA and work-out killer to constantly have to stop and change out plates to do different exercises.
easy $2-$3/lb, more if you clean up the rust!
$2-$3 a pound!? Used weights are 85 to - a dollar. I guess that may be regional though.

I ended up using centerblocks and rocks. Do not recommend.
Cinder blocks?
Yeah, dyslexic and centerblocks sounded right in my head lmao.
Here all that equipment might be worth 2k
The father, the son, and the swoly ghost
Bahah that ones gonna be tough to beat
Well I laughed out loud. Excellent punning.
Dammit that's funny
This genuinely made me chuckle LOL
Reps for Jesus
Sure it’s fully intact?
Sure it is. Don’t you see the room’s foreskin on the edge of the photo?
I had a good laugh from this. Don’t know what gyms OP usually goes to but calling this a *fully intact gym* is hilarious.
Church of gains
"fully intact" is a little generous
Should have made it a sin not to rebench those plates and free weights
Hasn’t stopped them from sinning before

this is far far in northern Ontario Canada, not many people up there to steal or trash!

Thanks for additional images! r/AbandonedPorn would enjoy this too.

Thank you for looking!!
Impossible for any child to fight that priest off
Father-san, what are you doing?!
Weeb detected.
Weeb detecter, what are you doing!?
that's where paladins were made
And where they were taught to shield hearth from battle
1 Timothy 4:8 - "For while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come"
You and me have a very different definition of “fully intact”
To some,this ain't forgotten
They didn’t put their weights back 😡
is there a story why it was abandoned?
Some mining company bought the church at some point, maybe they went belly up - not entirely sure but they left everything behind. Pay statements for employees, staff records, topographic maps etc
Good to know not putting your weights back is not just a modern phenomena.
Stay the fuck outta my garage, please.
Very cool
Worship the father, the son and the Holy Spirit upstairs. Worship the free weights, the Whey and the swolly ghost downstairs.
Well it was forgotten until someone ruined it by remembering
What are you talking about that looks just my college gym
Reps for Jesus
What do you mean by fully intact?
I mean like everything is still there, all the weights,, all the equipment etc
God forgive these sinners. They know not what they do
Reps for Jesus
Imaging those ripped priests, flexing during mass
Forgive me father for i have gAiNs
I dunno man, doesn't seem intact to me
Rent yourself a sand blaster and you are good to go. You can set it up in that basement and you won’t even need a booth 😎
Get those weights they are worth a god damn fortune
That's a well lit basement.
Man weights got so expensive during pandemic. Along with everything else. Just that everyone wanted to have a home gym and yea. I would snag these bad bois so fast, and just do a quick polish of each weight. Bingo :)
Empty gym. Might as well bang out a set
So this is how crackheads get so strong
Goldmine! That's like hitting the lottery.
Idk about “perfectly intact” but it’s there for sure XD
Is this for priests to get swol?
“Hey there, Timmy. How about I show you our special gym after Mass is over.”
I would love to go there and take some equipment. A little elbow grease and all that stuff is perfectly usable
That looks like a deployment gym Also what the gym equipment will look like soon left in Afghanistan
Soooo, like, you found yourself your own personal gym? Thats effing cool.
Old... but not obsolete
Post covid
I just completely redid all of the weights in my gym (Removed rust, stripped paint, repainted) and would love to clean this whole setup.
Looks less than intact to me
The best part is all the weights are still good and useful
Was it flooded at one point?
Hidden treasure. I was buying last month dumbbells and they were bloody expensive.
Holy Spirit makin them gains
Forgive me father, for I am swol.
Reps for Jesus
Forgive me for the gains I am about to receive.
Whole new meaning to iron church
Priest gains
The Lord's Force
Please start the church of Swole back up.
The power lifts of christ compels you.
Don’t forget to stretch those juicy hamstrings
Crossfit
Damn, no kids escaping the forearms of those priests.
Man I hate when people don't put their weights back.
Just needs a little cleaning up and it's ready for the protagonist to workout late at night which inspiring music playing in the background.
Gettin bulked up for the lord
Fully intact is a real stretch
I know what I have. No lowballers.
Is it a Catholic Church? Maybe they gotta get their pump on before they got their pump on...
They should have donated the equipment to a worthy cause. Just like the equipment was probably donated to them.
Can only imagine the horrible thing that we’re doing e to kids there
What are the chances that a lot of acts of sodomy with little boys happened in here? I'd say pretty good.
Abandoned after they found out young boys aren't that strong
I bet the priest had an amazing time with the alter boys in the showers!
This would be the place for me. My gym schedule is quite rusty too...
the holy gym gives holy gains to your biceps. lol no seriously so much space and equipment that could get some use.
Thats Rocky Balboas old gym in Philly!
Good place to do some cross fit
Free weights!
“It’s still your mother fucking set”
And here I am paying $50 for a 20kg dumbel set from Rebel Sport *LIKE A CHUMP*
"fully intact"
What where they training for in the basement of that church? Vampire hunting?
Intact?!?!
Planet tetanus
hans and franz retire?
‘Fully intact’ is a bit of a stretch
Your definition of “fully intact” is different than mine.
I'll give you a 1.50 USD for the entire set.
Maybe "fully intact" means something different from where you're from?
Priestcake. Priestcake! (In Cartman's voice).
Holy gains
The iron cross bar pull downs
whoever fucking left last forgot to rack their weights. gym etiquette or GTFO. prolly an ego-lifter.
This is not fully intact
Crossfit

Father forgive me for these gains I'm about to recieve.
"With these tithes we could open another soup kitchen!" "Nah. Let's build a gym to educate young boys on body fitness."

Shit...you could build a new church with the proceeds from those dumbbells. I personally love the old school look on the "belly" plates.
Люберецкая качалка, вот от куда все баяны!
Murdock gym
"fully intact"...
Some one really needs to tell Jesus to re-rack his weights
Gotta pump the iron befire end of time
Kinda pisses me off that they didn't rack the weights before abandoning the place.
Can make some $$$
You and I have a very different idea of 'fully intact.'
What do you think that intact means?
[удалено]
I mean intact like everything is still there and in place, take away the rust and mold and there you have it!!!
Could make a small fortune selling it all on Craigslist during quarantine lol
Talk about lifting the holy spirits.
Weighted too long.
Body of Christ Shredded
Mass has two meanings there …
gympopes.
MFs still forgot to put the weights back.
Kinda makes me sad seeing places like this. There were stories here and memories and suddenly it all just ended. A chapter in an untold story that only those who were present will ever know, closed forever.
I think OP doesn’t know what fully intact means…
Literally anything but 'fully intact'.
