Have a dominatrix whip you into shape at Fifty Shades of Fitness

We've heard of sweaty and tired from the gym, but what about hot and bothered? Well, Thursday February 12, Crunch hosts a very special, one-time-only fitness class called "WHIPPED: 50 Shades of Fitness," inspired by Valentine's Day and the long-awaited movie Fifty Shades of Grey, that adds a whole new meaning to the phrase "get whipped into shape." 

The S&M fitness lesson incorporates sexy-time toys, body bars for balance and endurance exercises and a dominatrix to make sure you do as you're told. Ten-year Crunch fitness instructor and former dominatrix Melody Henry created WHIPPED, and you don't have to be a Crunch member to get in on the steamy action. You have the option of signing up for a membership, which is now 50-percent-off (at about $85–$105 per month, depending on your package), or you can buy a one-day guest pass. All masochists welcome. 

This special class takes place at Crunch at 215 W 23rd Street in Chelsea at 7:30pm, Feb 12.
