Editorial Review for E – by Drew Pisarra
The Scene
Wonder of wonders: VIPs use an eye scanner to gain access to the elite inner sanctum of Time Warner Center's underground health complex. Once inside, a maximum of six clients are individually guided by top-tier trainers on equipment like cardio machines equipped with small flat screen televisions, ergonomically advanced pulley systems imported from Italy and fancy weight benches upholstered in apricot leather. Afterwards, members either retire to the lounge area or a private cabana--stocked with Moulton Brown skin care products and a Frette robe.
The Workout
Based on an impressively comprehensive assessment process using newfangled technology to determine fat-muscle ratios, spinal alignment, and the "virtual" age of the client's body, personal coaches use a resultant multi-page, multi-colored document (replete with photos and bar graphs) to craft a plan of attack worthy of Olympians. A medical advisory boards adds weight to a staff whose expertise is distinguished by myriad certifications, and thesis-worthy specializations.
