“Look Better Naked” (David Barton Gym)
"Look Better Naked" is has been the slogan of a New York City gym since 1992.

The Workout
"Look better naked." Barton's flirtatious catchphrase is just one way he's drawn folks to his workout facilities. Uptown's 2002 upgrade to top-of-the-line equipment is another. The elliptical machines and stationary bikes provide internet access -- on the condition that you're exercising! With pillows aplenty, the cushioned banquettes along the perimeter are a conspicuous retreat from the intense workouts provided by his handpicked trainers.
