Who Gives a Shit: Do these Slopes Make Our Butts Look Better?

Recently The NY Times wrote about the expansion of the American Ass and how the nation’s growing girth is impacting regional mass transit planning. It begs the question: given our hilly nabe, does residing in Park Slope give us a natural advantage to keeping our glutes in shape?

[SPONSORED]: PRIORITY FITNESS OPENS NEW LOCATION TOMORROW

Be honest: you ate 11 billion calories worth of food at Thursday's Thanksgiving dinner, right? And you still can't really zip up your pants, right?

I thought so. 

Well, the best way that I can think of to deal with this shit would be to hightail your ass on over to Priority Fitness's new group class studio which, lucky for you, opens TOMORROW.

Are Park Slope Gyms The Best Gay Hookup Spot in Town?

Photo: Park Slope Lens

If there's one thing I've learned from daily perusal of Park Slope Missed Connections, it's that there's always, always an m4m posting at one of the three zillion gyms in the hood. Sometimes they're hotter than others--actual nameless hookups looking to make it happen again--and sometimes, it's like this stuff from the last coupla days:

Harbor Fitness Park Slope - m4m (Park slope)

S Clubs Doesn't Hire 'Publicly Registered Deviants'

Or so they claim.

It seems as though S Clubs, that gym on Union and 7th Ave, is chatty about way the hell more than their desire for you not to fuck people in their Finnish Sauna.

Owner Nick Kotsonis took to Brooklynian yesterday to offer up a state of the union address as they approach their 11-year anniversary.

While you really should check out the entire post, here are some highlights:

We will be having further social mixers, where the members can relax and enjoy themselves.
By popular demand, our SKYDIVING TRIP is returning where members can feel the thrill of jumping out at 13,000 feet and experiencing the adenaline rush of freefalling.

Ok, I'd like to be first one NOT to sign up for that trip. Skydiving with the dude who sweat all over my treadmill and then didn't mop it up? No thanks.

We will be doing food drives that remind me of my Grandfather when he opened the Purity Diner in 1929 and donated food to the community during the Depression.

Purity? You guys still own that? If so, seems like you got a leetle problem with the Health Dept? Un poco?

We will also make sure that our qualified staff makes the members experience and enjoyable one, and we will never hire individuals who are publicly registered deviants. Unlike our bankrupt prone corporate, faceless competition.

Ok, so lemme translate: CRUNCH HIRES DEVIANTS. I mean, right? Didn't they go bankrupt not too long ago? Also what the hell does "registered deviant" even mean? Like child molesters and shit? This dude sounds like he's ready to throw down!

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to personally apologize to the community for any and all past mistakes and errors of judgement. As with any business, mistakes will be made, and the community has, quite rightly, revealed those errors to me.

I take full responsibilty for these errors, amd I take full blame for any policy judgements that did not work. I would hope that people would not take out their angst against my General Manager and executive staff. They were merely following policies set by this office.

Hunh? WTF does all this mean? Cause it sounds rully, rully interesting! In fact, I wonder if this why they changed their name?

Ok, in full disclosure: I joined this club recently and for my purposes, I'm loving it so far. It's so ridiculously expensive that it's never crowded, and also it's a block away from my apartment. I got a massage recently with Robyn in the spa that was mind-bending, and I love Monday morn Kettlebell class.

But also, that Brooklynian post was kinda weird, right? And also, why is it S ClubS (plural)...I'm pretty sure there's just one?

'No Erotic Meaning Is Implied'

So recently I've embarked on this mission to make my fat ass, well, less fat.

Thus far this has mostly involved me bitching, moaning, and complaining while Ben from Priority Fitness makes me run around and do all sorts of shit that I swear I can't do. I've lost 10 pounds so far, so guess shit is working.

One of my weekly assignments is to do cardio 3 times a week. And so, lo and behold, I've joined a gym. S Club to be specific, on Union and 7th Ave.
