(CBS News) If the Czech Olympic team needs any extra encouragement to train while in London, they need only look out the window of the team headquarters.

That's where an artist has transformed one of the city's iconic double-decker buses into a grunting push-up machine.

According to the Telegraph, Czech artist David Cerny dreamed up the robotic sculpture, dubbed the "London Booster," which features gigantic red arms hoisting the 6-ton vehicle up and down - with a cacophony of labored groaning to boot. Watch video below:

Cerny said he thought the Routemaster bus doing pushups was "universal" because it symbolizes both athletic exercise and a form of punishment.

"It's in a way very ironic, of course," he said.

Ironic, robotic and hypnotic, if you ask passers by.

"It's very eye catching, and very pretty, and really interesting," one Londoner told Reuters TV.

Its not a London Bus! Its not a Routemaster!

This bus ran for the Southern Vectis bus company on the Isle of Wight, off England's south coast. This could be its first ever visit to London!

Its a Bristol Lodekka, typically used on rural bus services in the 1950s and 1960s. It is older, smaller and more basic than the AEC Routemaster which was designed specifically for London Transport.

50 year old Routemasters continue to run in London on parts of routes 9 and 15 from Trafalgar Square.
