Strainz
Health and Fitness Club
To complement the other boundless delights of Tranquillity Haven,
Old Motherboard has converted the old airship hanger and mushroom farm into Strainz
~ the ultimate in body fitness maintenance for computer users.
Entered by subterranean passage from the Vault, via the underground
sprinkler tank, and white-knuckle trampolene access through a trap-door,
Haven guests will meet Charlene,
our state-of-the-martial-arts receptionist who is a champion Sumo juggler
and a black belt in tatting.
Once you are past Charlene, our Club manager, Russell, 3rd in the
English Water Spaniel division at Crufts,
will welcome you to Strainz with a cheery
yap and a friendly lick.
Membership is
only by recommendation of an existing member
or by money. F.O.O.M’s are entitled to
a free digestive biscuit per visit.

Fitness Assessment
Before using our unique range of fitness
equipment, such as the Multi-belter or the
Xtragrym, patrons are required to undergo
a simple and occasionally painless fitness
screening. This will be carried out in
complete confidentiality by our fully trained
catering staff and the results displayed on
the Club noticeboard.
Advanced fitness equipment, recently converted
to electricity, is used to produce a full
wallet assessment. If a patron survives
the screening, he or she will be deemed fit
enough to undertake a personal fitness training
matrix. He will also find out if he is allergic
to mushrooms.

Steam Room
Lovers of mushrooms and a good mulch will
enjoy the pungent, efficacious aromatic
rolling mists of the Steam Room. Converted
from an authentic airship gondola, patrons
will catch occasional glimpses of airship
memorabilia, but most of the time they won’t
be able to see a damn thing.
Whilst laptop computers are permitted in the
steam room, PCs should be left with the
receptionist or placed on the shelf outside.
Laptops should be acclimatised in the foot
spa before being taken into the steam room.
On Thursday and Saturday evenings, please note
that the sessions are Continental and therefore
all computers must be left in the lockers provided.
Back to Charlene in Reception
