Do you remember episode 02 ?
"Santa Monica"
All this people, practicing together, in harmony.
Most of them come to this place few time a week, for years,
They build a real family.
And this training time become sacral, it's a real ritual of love.
It's very easy to understand it, you just have to try.
Like I did. Thrust me, it's funny, healthy, and totally addictive!
Sport is so good!
Yeah! It's even better than sex!
What?!
This healthy life style is like a religion.
John shown me Santa Monica Beach
Where people are in love with sport.
And me, I bring him in Ukraine,
In a very special place we call : GIDROPARK
John is French,
In his country, public gym equipments are build by government,
Like in America.
But this gym park is very different :
It have been build by ordinary people who love sports.
Just few patriots started to create this place almost 50 years ago.
Because all this machines are hand-made, this public gym look like nothing else in the world!
This machines are the most crazy I never saw.
Nothing is usual:
The style, the mechanisms, the weights,
the material they use for building.
I feel myself like in the movie "Terminator"...
But the Chernobyl version!
Rusty machine of the death!
Lubricated with polar bear oil.
This is for real men! I love this style!
But most of this machines are made for monsters.
I'm not even able to move this stuff!
You're so funny sweety!
But you just don't have the good technic!
We're going to show you the real deal!
don't you love your sport girls?
To build muscles is not the only way to make sport.
Here people can practice everything.
Of course, some are doing arm-wrestling.
I love this, and I almost beat their champion.
Some people do boxing,
And also, a special martial art...
from secret lands of Siberia.
This guy: he could break all your bones in one micro-second.
And he's even throwing knifes.
The legend says : he can kill a wolf at 800m distance with closed eyes!
When I've seen that, it remind me a romantic movie:
"La fille sur le pont"
I like it so much...
This give me an idea:
Zap will be the target,
and you know...
It's so sensual!
Hey! That was scary!
Why did you use me as an experimental rabbit?!
it's for the audience!
If we risk your life,
People will watch the web series even more!
Yes sweety, people are cruel!
What?! You gonna see who's cruel!
I gonna kick your little French ***!
You gonna cry for mercy like Napoleon when he tried to conquer mother Russia!
Hey! Napoleon never cried!
You will cry!
I love to play with you sweety, but I want to know more about this place.
Let's interview some old guys!
This place was just a beach.
And enthusiasts youngsters start to build sport equipment.
Slowly it grown and it became the biggest open gym in the world!
This place is 47 years old.
Every thing started in 1966.
We love to make work-out.
So we build horizontal bars between two trees,
To have training in the nature.
At soviet-time: metal was everywhere in the street.
Now, it's harder to find.
But factory give metal parts of caterpillars.
And they have special structures, with big groves.
It's almost indestructible!
Once, even military factory of Kiev give us a tank!
We build equipment from that!
Cheap machines but resistant to time and thief.
If you let the weight just like that,
Someone can take it away.
First we fixed with chains.
Then we fixed directly to the stick!
And it works! It's here for 30 years.
No one steal it.
People was very enthusiastic.
They worked for free. Their kids train here now!
A lot of youngsters come!
Last two years we connect donations.
Mostly we spend this money on electricity and water.
We have everything we need!
You see this bars here?
They was build with the price of Ukraine got talent.
Work-out team won this TV show
And used the money to build this equipment.
to let every one free to practice.
But few years ago rich mafia people wanted to occupy this beach.
We had trouble with them.
They wanted to make money with this place.
So we stand up together and we did a strike.
People stood up, fight, and today, this place is still free!
They tried a little bit to fight us...
But they was gone very fast.
20 years ago, my friend Alexander bring me here.
And today I still come for my training.
After we go to the beach.
Good mood!
I'm an old guy: 64!
Look at this guy :
He's 84!!!
And he's still doing workout.
Atmosphere is cool, it's all about healthy life style.
Every one teach each other, we have nothing to prove.
Simple men, without any help or money.
Look what they did, and think about what you could do
for your country, for your family,
or even for yourself,
It's time for love
