My gym is interesting in that at one are the free weights (manly man), at the other the cardio machines (girly girly), and in the centre is the functional area. This gym take their functional strength rather serious, and have rather a lot of kit and personal trainers who are keen on it. The functional section also crosses the gender divide, especially when people start doing interesting things in there with powerbags.
