Hercules Stadion and Gym


"We should not exercise the body without the joint assistance of the mind; nor exercise the mind without the joint assistance of the body." - Plato



Beautiful surroundings increases motivation, and I'm quite sure the ancient Greeks knew that. Lovely temples, fountains, gardens and a spacious performance area was a luxury, but also part of the strategy to become better athletes or maybe even Olympic performers. 

Strangly enough (for some of us) the athletes trained and competed naked, so the Gymnasium was also a popular place for studying anatomy, whether for medical, spiritual or simply aesthetic purposes. Actually the words Gymnasium, Gym or gymnast are all from Greek gymnós, meaning naked. However, men and women were kept separated, and most gymnasiums were for men only.

I also want to point out that yoga was not an exercise for the ancient Greeks. But for ancient Sims it is! 😅

Edit 03.04.2023: I've included the London Detective statue used in the included cc, with kind permission from Jennisims.

Edit 28.07.2021: I've updated Trayfiles and replaced the Pool Decor from the Hercules Gym set that broke with the July patch (1.77.131.1030 - Cottage Living). I recommend that you re-download and replace. If you don't mind that the Pool Decor will not show in your BB catalog, you can still keep the previous version. 

Edit 02.10.2022: I've replaced the Invisible Fence by Bakie with the new version (file name should be "BakieGaming-InvisibleFence-2.0-Brickwall1.package".)
