They have fruit juices, great smoothies.

- Beer and wine?

- No wine, just beer.

- You can get a beer after your workout.

- Good.

- And great sandwiches.

- Sprouts?

- Definitely.

- Yes.

- Are you into health food?

- No, not really.

Okay, let's look at Body Dynamics.

What they do in here

is personal fitness assessments.

They do cardiovascular testing,

nutritional analysis...

hydrostatic weighing,

or weighing the body underwater.

It helps determine

your percentage of body fat.

Then, you have

an hour-and-a-half-long consultation.

- And here we have the coed gym.

- So this is where all the action takes place.

On the free weights,

the universal equipment...

the Nautilus, and Icarian equipment.

- I feel guilty, all these people working out.

- And the Lifecycle bikes.

- Hi, Bobby.

- Hi, Linda.

- I miss you. I never see you anymore.

- Adam, Linda. Linda, Adam.

Hello, Linda.

I mean it. I really miss you.

I worked up here as an instructor

before I was promoted to sales.

- I see.

- He used to work on my body.

- Looking good.

- God knows, I try.

I'm still in the "before" group,

not the "after," but I'm gonna get there.

- Where's Sally?

- She's there, working out with Roger.

- Trying to make her tits even bigger.

- Well, see you.

- Nice meeting you.

- You, too.

- What's her story?

- She was a mess.

- What do you mean?

- No one works as hard to get in shape.

- Really?

- Hi, Sally. Hi, Roger.

- Five.

- He's killing me.

- Come on, let's go, back to work.

- How many? Just three more.

- That's a couple you should talk to.

- Who are they?

Sally works with Linda

at the Apparel Mart, downtown.

And Roger,

he's a stripper at Chippendales.

- Interesting. I do want to talk to them.

- Nice people. They met here.

- You'll have such a good time, I promise.

- Come on, come on!

How big do you want them?

Can I get a list of couples that met here,

and their phone numbers?

- It's against policy to give phone numbers.

- Can't you bend the rules?

I really don't have much time.

- I'll see what I can do.

- Thank you.

- Kenny, this is Adam Lawrence.

- How you doing?

He's a reporter for Rolling Stone.

Kenny can answer questions if I'm not in.

- Nanette said you're looking for couples.

- Yeah.

I'm a big fan of yours.

- Really?

- Yeah, I subscribe to Rolling Stone.

I read your piece on Carly Simon.

I thought it was great.

So did I.

I bet lots of lustful matinees

get started here.

- What? What do you mean?

- Excuse me, I mean, social interaction.

- Let me show you the rest of the club.

- Okay.

By the way,

what kind of story are you writing?

This is aerobics and "slimnastics."

That's Jessie Wilson.
