This spring, the surfer, skier, and weed lover will open the world’s first cannabis fitness center in San Francisco.

Shortest-lived business in history. The whole concept is goofy. I was a gym rat for years. Anything that adversely affected my concentration would mess up my workouts. I don't know any serious weight lifter who would try to work out when messed up on booze, drugs, etc. This guy should lay off the drugs before he draws up his next business plan!

I agree.

Working out while stoned is a bad idea. You’re likely to get hurt if you cannot focus on form.

But I understand why a committed bodybuilder would want to get high after.

Actually, not really. Gyms don't make much money off of gym rats. In fact, they generally prefer their business to go elsewhere, because they often end up costing the gym money. The ideal customer a) never goes; and b) never cancels their membership. Planet Fitness has created a hugely successful business out of catering exclusively to these types of customers, even to the point of implementing policies specifically designed to get gym rats to quit their gyms.

In fact, the real question to ask about his business model is this: does he run the risk of having gym usage rates go too high? (Pun unintentional).
