Very interesting. I wonder if anyone on VF was a member there in the hey day! That's some outfit she's wearing for "work" and that picture of all those stationary bikes!! It looks like the subway or something at first glance.

I don't remember Terri Walsh, but I do remember working out in the 80's! Very interesting article that brought back a lot of memories. It reminds me of the movie "Perfect" with Jamie Lee Curtis and John Travolta. I was obsessed with that movie. I was a member of a fitness center then and I could definitely relate to the outfits, the social aspect, and the vibe. Oh, and doing high impact aerobics in bare feet!

Wow, that is so cool! So, did the article describe the club as you remember it when you were there?
