Lesbian fitness trainers sue David Barton Gyms in New York


David Barton Gyms New York
The management of David Barton Gyms, a high end gym chain in Manhattan, NY, is being sued by two lesbian fitness trainers. They are suing for an unspecified amount for "lost wages, lost benefits, other economic damages, shame, humiliation, embarrassment and mental distress.”

According to NYdailynews, trainers, Deborah Cooke and Christina Rodino, charge that their bosses at  the gym made them the butt of gay jokes and called each of them a "f---ing dyke." The bosses hounded them for sex and suggested that they, two trainers, should vacation on Lesbos Island.

The women were fired Dec. 2 after they complained about nasty locker talk and they were replaced by straight trainers with less experience. Apparently, at least one of the two women, Deobrah Cooke, was earning $100,000 a year.

The first gym was opened by Celebrity bodybuilder David Barton in Chelsea, in 1994. Apparently, the gym was sued previously in 2005 by a straight male member, claiming gay sex was rampant in the locker room and that other members gawked at him when he undressed.

TAEYOGA, a noble program for fitness and healing in the Los Angeles area

TaeYoga http://satori-in-hollywood.yolasite.com/
Anybody who sincerely workouts knows that, afterwards, the body can get sore and requires rest and healing. In Los Angeles, there are all kinds of personal trainers and boot camps. They charge a lot of money and can drive you to exhaustion. This can make you want to quit the program and  abandon your New Year resolution to get in shape.

However, there is a noble fitness program that combines the work-out with a massage to soothe and relax sore muscles.

Welcome to TAEYOGA, a program for fitness and healing in the Los Angeles area.

I suppose, the name TAEYOGA is derived from a combination of the words, Taekwon Do and Yoga. The trainer, a woman, has a background in Martial Arts. She has a second Degree Black Belt in Taekwon  Do (Karate) and she has taught in several schools and Youth Centers in Germany and here in Los Angeles.

With such a formidable background, she has developed a exercise system of  moves that are a mix of slow Martial  Arts techniques, Yoga stances  and stretches and some resistance training. There is no running or jumping involved and so it's easy on  your joints. People go to her place for a personal workout and to get in shape.

And, that is not all.

You can even get a healing massage from her expert hands, on a comfortable table, in a clean and quiet environment. She:
- has more than a decade of experience
- is certified by the German Athlete's Association in Fitness, Martial Arts and Massage.
- has learned massage under Dr. Wismach, head of sports medicine, massage and acupuncture in Germany.
- her massage is a blend of classic relaxation massage (swedish style), deep tissue work and techniques from Hawaii and India.
- her strong, firm touch is bound to promote healing and soothing.

Her studio is equipped for personal workout and massage. Apparently, hot shower is also available.
She can also provides out call service to help you  workout at your home.
Appointments are possible every day from 9am to 9.30pm

PRICES
Prices vary and can only be quoted after a thorough evaluation. So, contact her for the price quote, appointment and the location. As a general guideline:
- massage is $60 per hour or a dollar per minute.
- Work-out is $45 per hour.
- The fitness package is $75 that combines 45 minutes work-out/stretching and 45 minutes massage.

FYI
Satori  is a Japanese Buddhist term for enlightenment that literally means "understanding". In the Zen Buddhist tradition, satori refers to a flash of sudden awareness, or individual enlightenment, and is considered a "first step" or embarkation toward nirvana (Wikipedia).

LA Fitness: staying fit by getting kicked & trampled

Trampling, what a feeling

I had never imagined that I could get some workout and earn money by kicking around people legally until recently, when I saw an Ad in the Craigslist, Los Angeles.

A man in Venice Beach was looking for mean, brutal and evil people who are willing to stand/ walk/ jump over his face and body and, even, break his bones. He really wants you to hurt him bad and, in return, he is willing to pay you $25/ hour, up to a maximum of $350 a day.

Sounds impossible? No really, the man is a stunt man and, apparently, he needs this kind of beating to stay fit and in working shape. I responded to his Ad but got no response. My guess is he may have been overwhelmed with a large number of responses. Or, may be he got scared by the kind of beating I told he can expect from me.
