I would love to see a Gym geared toward those who have 100+ lbs to loose, Wider seats on the equipment, Exercises for the morbidly obese that take into account limited mobility, knee and back stress, with a rubber walking path? If I had the money I'd start it and it would be less intimidating that a room full of skinny in shape people working out, who look at you like they are disgusted, a Pool would be great, if everyone else is over weight I don't mind but get in a suit with a bunch of skinny folk forget it!
I can't believe Richard Simmons has come up with a " CURVES' type idea for the Obese 100+

you would also really need people trained in health needs of diabetics and people to watch people working so that they do not over do it.

This is a great idea! You should start this business.
Lots of obese people don't feel comfortable exercising in a gym because people [like some of the posters here] give them a hard time about exercising.
And yes, fat people exercise and don't spend thier lives sitting on the couch eating potato fritters.

"Curves" WAS designed for the morbidly obese.

If the morbidly obese wanted to exercise they would. They could buy home gym equipment or a treadmill or whatever. Really fat people don't want to exercise...that's why they're really fat. Besides, who wants to be seen at the gym that's especially for the super-fat?

because the fatties probably wouldn't go to it. They'd rather sit on a couch and eat potato fritters
