After power-walking to the corner bar and regularly clenching your abs while watching <em>The Town</em>, you got to thinking—all workouts should really involve scotch and a movie. So you’ll want to check out <em>Move to a Movie</em>, a series of rather insane exercise parties incorporating booze and cinema, now taking reservations at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.laac.com">Los Angeles Athletic Club</a>. Below is the complete schedule, and if you want to make this your new fitness regimen, you’ll want to dial the number 213-630-5255.
After your intense squash session with the in-house instructor, you’ll be treated to a shoe shine, hors d’oeuvres and scotch flights while the movie screens in the ballroom. Just like a day in the life of Gordon Gekko, only with better calves.
After a round-robin tourney of four co-ed squads, the winning team’s members will be awarded a free night’s stay in a room upstairs—and a month’s use of the fitness facilities. Then it’s cocktails and Ben Stiller’s villainous Fu Manchu for everybody.
While you watch, an instructor will help your date learn Demi Moore’s Striptease routines as the movie plays in the background. Then you both get a hotel room upstairs for an hour (to properly dissect the film’s symbolism in peace), before dinner at the in-house restaurant.
Think of this as your cooldown—a leisurely poolside screening of Jaws, with inflatable sharks lurking in the water and specialty drinks like Chum to power you through. (It’s red sangria with plenty of fruit.) If that’s too much, you could finish off with a Bloody Mary instead. Which is all you’ve ever asked of your regular gym.
