A
The Music Gym concept was first made popular in 2000 in Boston, Massachusetts by Ryan McVinney and Robert Edward. The two men converted an old circuit-board factory in a rundown area of Allston, Massachusetts into a shared musical facility for a relatively large group of local musicians and artists. The concept has spread from Boston to Austin, Texas, New York City, Canada, England, Lima Peru, San Francisco, Los Angeles and other various locations across the world. Some Music Gym's operate as for-profit businesses, while some operate as private, non-incorporated clubs run by smaller groups of musicians.
