I've often thought that a gym along those lines would be interesting. Basically a big room with a pile of dirt at one end, a wheelbarrow, and some shovels. The exercise is to shovel dirt into a wheelbarrow, run it to the other end, and build it up into a big pile. And yes, there could also be a wood-splitting room, and the gym could make some extra money by selling the split firewood. This is not only cheap exercise equipment, it also excercises the muscles that you actually use in daily life, not just the "cosmetic" muscles.
