Fitness Guru has been a nice addition in the neighborhood since January 2007. Most comments from readers mention the knowledgeable staff and comfortable atmosphere, which is important in a gym that offers various levels of group classes. NY Times reporter Abby Ellin says:
“The problem with most exercise classes is that right around 30 minutes the tedium sets in: Oh, joy, another right hook!
This can be especially galling for those afflicted with Fitness Attention Deficit Disorder. Luckily, the folks at the Fitness Guru, a studio with about 300 members in the Dumbo section of Brooklyn, have devised Bounce-n-Slide, a cross-training frenzy to combat the monotony. And it does.
The hourlong workout is evenly split among jumping on a mini trampoline, sliding on a 6-foot-by-2-foot plastic sheet that mimics ice, and abdominal mat work.”
Time to get in shape for the summer.

Hi all great information here and good thread to comment on.
Can I ask though – how did you get this picked up and into google news?
Very impressive that this blog is syndicated through Google and is it something that is just up to Google or you actively created?
Obviously this is a popular blog with great data so well done on your seo success..

So funny to see this. I was just looking at their site yesterday and thinking of joining. It seems like a great place.
Can’t help but notice your “name”. Do you train?

P.S. This site probably comes up in Google responses simply because it gets a LOT of traffic and covers a lot of topics (plenty of key words to reel them in from search results).

I know another fitness guru of my own: steroids for sale. Many people argue on the matter, but the truth is that if you are smart and consult a doctor, you can actually be on top of your game. Of course taking steroids won't help you unless you also work out a little bit.
