'No Wimps Permitted' should be the sign above the door when you enter this facility. What you get here is real honest-to-goodness workout instruction with guaranteed results. Fitness guru, Barry Jay, is the drill sergeant-at-arms who you will either love or hate. Sign up for the 20-day program, and agree to become a devotee. Classes are held all day long with emphasis on pre-dawn classes. Barry promises to separate the men from the boys, so to speak.

You might not break a sweat but you will certainly feel the burn. Based on the fitness principles of Joseph Pilates, owner Maria Leone works celebrities and non-celebs into sleek condition. A former dancer, Leone favors long lean muscles and exercises that tone but do not add bulk. Using stretches on a mat as well as exercise machines like the Reformer she will leave you sore but impressed at the intensity of the one-hour session.
