Spanish term or phrase: los paisajes mínimos
Un artículo sobre el regreso al entrenamiento de antes, con aparatos de gimnasia y en gimnasios pequeños:

Algunas personas se acordarán de sus entrenamientos en un dojo y con el makiwara, y otros de sus potros y aros de gimnasia. Esos eran ***los paisajes mínimos*** de los gimnasios que algunos extrañamos.

Fortunately, you can figure out most exercise equipment using common sense and looking for the common features most share, and there are always others to help you if needed.

zen approach


Explanation:
Todas las respuestas dadas son en realidad validas, pero ya que menciona dojo y otras cosas, se me ocurre esta variante. Ya que se puede ver que el autor desea usar una metafora.
Toda la frase sería: "This was the almost Zen Approach some of us miss from the old gyms"

Example sentence(s):
  • This was the almost Zen Approach some of us miss from the old gyms
