Best Place to Work out and Avoid Jocks

Body Business

Walking into Body Business, we were amazed at the plethora of, well, normal people who were working out on the machines. Gone were the teenagers with rock hard abs and the burly men who made that "Uggggghhhhhhhh!" noise with every repetition. Also, there seemed to be a lot more ... girls. Body business was founded in 1984 by Susan Cooper and continues to have a 60% female clientele. Swimming, resistance training, yoga, spinning, aerobics, personal training, massage, sauna are all built into membership, but it is the gym's sense of community that made us really take notice. Members take cruises together, gossip in between repetitions, and in general just have fun together. At a gym? Yeah, we know. It was a little hard for us to believe too. 2700 West Anderson Ln Suite 802 (Across from the Alamo Draft House) 512-459-9424 Davenport Village at Westlake Drive and 360 (Next to Maudie's) 512-306-0557 Membership office now open Club opens Dec. 2004 http://www.bodybusinessfitness.com/
