They even had the supermarkets

staked out. That was getting boring.

Really?

There wasn't anywhere people could

get together in a healthy environment...

and have some social interaction.

- Right.

- Mr. Lawrence, hold it.

Michael and I, he's my partner,

thought it'd be great to create a place...

like the lodge at the bottom of the hill

in Aspen.

Where people could share

a common interest.

- All right.

- Phone, Nanette.

- Take a message, okay?

- Okay.

My concept was to get people

out of their potato chip bags...

into the club by convincing them

it didn't have to be drudgery.

- That it could be fun.

- Right.

- I'll get somebody to show you around.

- Sounds good.

We have nine racquetball courts.

These two courts are our challenge courts.

- The winner stays on, loser gets off.

- Really?

Then, you have a lounge area.

It's a good place to sit and relax,

before and after your workout.

Your entrance and registration area.

And then we have Pete's Pro Shop.

They have the latest in workout apparel...

and racquetball equipment.

Then you have the snack bar.

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.

She's probably the best female instructor

we got right now.

They call her "the Aerobics Pied Piper."

- A lot of couples met in her class.

- Really?

Turn it around.

I'm going back to my workout.

- Enjoy the class.

- Thanks.

- Nice meeting you.

- It was very nice meeting you.

Squeeze. Release. Squeeze. Release.

Toes out!

Shoulders down.

Really tighten your thighs!

Touch down!

Straight leg, left. Go!

Hold it down on two...

Hold it!

Let's go!

- 'Night, Kim.

- Goodnight, Jessie.

- Hi, Shirley.

- Hi, Jessie.

Jessie.

- Adam Lawrence. Hi.

- Hi.

- I really enjoyed your class. You're great.

- Thanks.

I'm a reporter for Rolling Stone.

I'm writing on the Sports Connection.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- Rolling Stone?

- Yes.

I'd love to interview you.

- Why?

- Why not?

- I can think of a lot of reasons.

- It would be good for business.

Business is fine.

You think about it.

I'll be around for a few days.

I will, but I don't change my mind

about anything.

Could you give me a reason why?

I read magazines.

The Star Garden Club

is proud to present...

direct from New York City,

the one and only...

Shotsy.

- Jessie, hi.

- Hi.

- Did you think about it?

- Very, very hard.

- Did you change your mind?

- No.

- Well, I'll get someone else to interview.

- I guess you will.

Maybe you don't understand.

I may want you as the focus of my story.

No, you don't understand.

I don't want to be the focus of anything.

Okay, you don't have to be the focus.

I just need your viewpoint.

Last time I counted,

there were 90 aerobic instructors.

- But your classes are the biggest, sexiest...

- Are you deaf? No!

- What's the problem?

- I was burned once.

I don't intend to get burned again.

- The battery's dead.

- No kidding. It happens all the time.

Where's your car?

I have jumper cables.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

I can never remember

which is positive or negative. Try that.

- All right.

- Keep it going.

Okay, I have an idea.

I know you don't want to be interviewed.

- But how about dinner tonight?

- Sorry.

How about lunch tomorrow?

- All off the record?

- Just like regular people.

- Hello.

- Hi.

I'm sorry to call so late,

but I just got your message.

What's going on?

- Are you all right?

- Yeah. Why?

Hold on, I'm putting you on speaker.

I got a call from a guy I know who's in

the shady end of the record business.

He said you're ringing the wrong doorbells

and might end up in the hospital.

Make sense to you?

I don't know.

I've been poking around, but...

I made contact

with one of his old girlfriends today.

Maybe somebody's nervous about that.

I called just to say watch yourself.

I want you to promise me

you'll be real careful on this one, okay?

Anyway, how's the other one?

Have you found a hook?

Yeah, as a matter of fact.

I found this terrific opportunity.

It's not the kind of story I had in mind

at first, but it's pretty good. Listen.

There's a girl at the Sports Connection

who they call "the Aerobics Pied Piper."

She's got this following

of leotards and sweat suits.

She's fun to watch,

so lots of couples meet there.

Sounds good. Maybe that will work.

It's great. The only problem is
