The Spirit moving the Quakers: A glimpse into the past with Austria's 1820 Laufmaschine, a running machine for the wealthy. No gears, but boasting luxurious padded seats and ornamental detailing, this wooden contraption from Osterreich was a pubside attraction, a precursor to modern fitness equipment. Fast forward to the present, as we witness the Gladiators Entertainment Programme's performance testing of a running machine, where contestants push their limits, challenging their running brains and sculpting their muscles. Artwork renditions showcase the female form in motion, a testament to the enduring allure of this age-old activity.
