Well, if it's truly the case and Bader is such a philanthropist, then I can only applaud, cause it actually deserves an immense respect.
Now to make it clear, if it wasn't so crystal clear as what you describe, LATS, well I wouldn't have a problem with it either... you do what you feel is right for you to attain your goals in this life... up to everyone to decide where to set his personal limits, muscle worship and escorting are absolutely fine with me.
No, what I'd hate is to let people think some rich dudes in the middle east help or "sponsor" athletes and make them come over there just for the love of the sport, when actually the motives are far less avowable... basically fool young promising newcomers into thinking they'll move FOR FREE from the US or Europe to find a bodybuilder's paradise in the desert, when in fact there's a bit more behind it... unfortunately some naive kids might not even realize it before booking (having it paid, I mean ) their plane ticket, and it's only once upon arrival they discover what they really have to do to take advantage of an emir's generosity.
BTW I'm not talking precisely of Oxygen Gym here, but in a more general way of what's happening in Qatar, Dubai, Bahrain, etc...
To my knowlegde, there was only one Mother Teresa... people rarely do things expecting absolutely nothing in return. It happens, yes, but not so often...
This gym sounds incredible and the photos/videos I've seen of it look fantastic as well. Huge gym with every piece of equipment imaginable from various different manufacturers.
I would be interested to see the financials of the gym. Start up costs, etc. Although I'm sure labor costs are substantially lower there, it seems like the place is packed with trainers, cleaners, etc. Is it all a huge loss financially per year?
What do they charge members monthly?

There's one far south of me. It's insane. Looks like a giant warehouse. Like you said pools, saunas, the whole nine yards. It's 3 floors total I believe.
