Gym motivates members with 'Naked Sunday' sweatshops

gymlocker.jpgThere are great perks that come with living alone. The main one? Having free reign over cooking, eating, and relaxing in the nude. While being lazy does wonders for stress, it doesn't, however, do any wonders for your figure. Keen to the comfort of nudity, a gym in the Netherlands has begun 'Naked Sunday', a weekly open door policy on birthday suits and awkwardness.

"I heard that some other gyms are offering courses on 'pole-dancing' as a sport, so I thought: Why not bring something new to the market?" Patrick de Man, the owner of Fitworld gym, said.

This may just be the motivation you need to get in shape. Those guilt trip commercials that pray on your shame and New Year's reolutions never worked. At the very least, you can expect that getting 'up' and off the couch to go exercise will be easier. Though, with motivating so many newbies unaccustomed to a "work out" (in either sense), perhaps they'll do some erection damage control.

That pic is so creepy. Hilarity.

The idea of seeing some dude doing squats in the nude isn't my idea of motivation. A woman doing the "Butt Blaster 4500" is another thing entirely.

Can you think of anything more uncomfortable than doing the stairmaster in the nude?
