Welcome to the SML Compendium

So, you are looking at this website after visiting The Fitness Factory, and you are wondering just what this SML gym stuff is about? Well? You are looking at the right site to answer that!

The SML system is a HUD-driven RP gym system which, at the time of writing these pages for the SML compendium, has just under 70 gyms across the Second Life grid, with Fitness Factory being one of them, offering its gym for public use for people to exercise in it. The basics of the SML system are simple: you exercise on the equipment, increase your level, and, more importantly, your strength.

The higher the strength levels you go, the heavier the weights you can use. The higher the level you go, the more options you have to buy your own gym equipment (Level 15 and Level 30).

Before you read on and consider taking part in SML and joining the SML community, a word of caution….SML is not a “quick fix” levelling system. It takes WEEKS (literally) to make it into the strength range to be able to use those huge pieces of weightlifting equipment you see at the far side of the gym, and MONTHS (in a lot of cases) before you are at the stage you can use all of the equipment. If you are in for a quick levelling fix…SML is not for you.

If, however, you love the level grind. If spending hours raiding in old school World Of Warcraft was your thing. If spending hours in Mass Effect, Elder Scrolls or Cyberpunk just to complete ALL the things in that area is what you love to do? Then SML is just the thing for you!

The compendium is here to help you through your first few weeks using the SML system. It will cover everything you need to know to set you on the right track to levelling, using the equipment, best practises, and handy hints and tips that will help you through the beginning levels all the way up to you starting on the power lifting equipment!

The SML Compendium Extras

The Directory

The SML Directory is a full listing of all gyms, what equipment they have, whether they have spotters and/or PCO sitters, what extras they have to offer and of course, the SLURL. This directory is working as the database for the Compendium HUD.

The SML Compendium HUD

The HUD is a cut down version of the experience HUD that attaches to you when you visit The Fitness Factory.

The SML Compendium Diamond

The SML Diamond is the first all-in-one spotter system for gyms. It picks up where the original Starry Spotter system and Otto’s Sitter system left off.
