Surrounded by the loud clunks of iron, a multitude of machines and the smell of sweat are millions of Americans working out in gyms across the country, and while most tolerate the crowded ebbs and flows of co-ed commercial gyms, some men who find this setup distracting are seeking out "lust-free" gym alternatives."[The] lust side, that’s just a small piece of what the gym does," Jeff Hambrecht, owner of Proverbs 27:17, a Christian men’s-only gym in Oklahoma City, told Fox News Digital."The idea of a lust-free gym, it's not like we're a bunch of guys who can't control ourselves and we stay indoors. If you're an alcoholic… and you're trying to get out of that circle, you're probably going to avoid drugs and alcohol.
