Urban Playground

Where have I been you ask?  AT THE EFFIN' GYM!!


entire outfit: H&M


Due to the fact that its short skirt/tank top/bikini time (yes, I WILL have reason to be in a bikini in about a month.....more on that later),  I decided I needed to whip my ass into shape.  I discovered a bootcamp-style gym a block away from my condo called "Urban Playground" and joined 2 weeks ago.  Let me tell you, it was one of the best decisions Ive ever made!  Heres why Urban Playground is FierceWithAHighWaist reccommended:

1. The facilities are spotless (translate: dont reek of sweat), and very modern.

2. the classes are small - no more than 8 people at a time.

3. they offer an amazing variety of workout styles including kettlebells, pilates, interval training, total body conditioning & yoga (to name a few.)

4.  Its ALL CLASSES.  No machinery or equipment.  Just free weights, mats, and an instructor.  But dont get it twisted: this aint a low-impact "Curves" style workout.  I look like I just stepped out of a shower after every class.

5.  Its female owned & operated.  Sistas be doin it for themselves.

6. The best part: NO MALES ALLOWED!  Its a womans-only gym; meaning I can be free to wear whatever the hell I want & not worry about some creep trying to chat me up. 

Its ridiculously expensive, 3 months is about the price of a pair of Gucci sandals, but its definitely worth it.  I knew it was the place for me when I told one of the instructors, "I want to generally tone up, but I still want my ass to be really round."  She smiled & replied, "Dont worry, bubble butts are one of our specialties."
