Kidding aside, someone is using the Soviet and other communist propaganda symbols to promote fitness, probably at their gym where membership costs enough each month to feed a village.

First thing that struck me ...

Black power. Thumb in rather than around the barbell. Why?

What else is a red star?

It's someone using they style of the old soviet propaganda posters to try and advertise fitness. Without knowing more context of the gym or place where this was posted, I can't really say more about it.

I think that it took me entirely too little time to find the source for that image

In-context, I'd say that it's just a bit of marketing fluff, and that you probably shouldn't read too much into it. It looks to me like someone is just trying to imitate Shepard Fairey (Obey Giant, etc.).

<editorial>Which is kind of funny, because Shepard Fairey is a talentless hack who blatantly copies actual propaganda posters with minimal modification and claims them as his "art".</editorial>

Anyway, I'd post the context, but maybe Dash has his reasons for not doing so :p

I think that gym memberships are a perfect example of subsidzation. I thank all the lazy people that sign up for 24 month contracts and fund the purchase of new equipment and maintenance of the facilities for nothing in return.

Getting beach bodies. Or trying to, at least.

You should always be satisfied with your current body, your current health, your functional strength, your energy, your status with your kid, and not seeing hot girls every second.

However, working out is right action because it is living in the moment in a positive way.

No it's not. You're confusing self-criticality and equating it to a debilitating lack of self-image.

No it's not, it's admittance that we're aren't omnipotent and that it is a tool in the un-ending strive to reach perfection.

You should really experience sometime the fruits that come with self-sacrifice, not trying to do things in the easiest way possible.
