Workout

Has anybody been watching Workout? I can’t make up my mind if it’s actually good or if it just has that ‘trainwreck’ appeal. Maybe it’s in the ‘so bad it’s good’ category.. what would I know? Anyway, it’s riveting stuff. You can see the trailer here.

This is fitness reality TV with all the trimmings: One type A, hyperachieving, $400 an hour, extremely fit lesbian fitness trainer to the stars named ‘Jackie’ – check. One cute but neurotic lesbian partner – check. One religious mother whom blames herself for her daughters lesbianism – check. Seven highly sexed trainers with deadly physiques that work for Jackie in her exclusive gym/spa in Beverly Hills – check, check, check… it’s all going on, I tell ya.

It’s worth a watch just for the sheer motivation of seeing so many fabulous sets of abdominals.

This week Jackie started injecting herself with FSH so that she can have her eggs harvested before her biological clock ticks its last tick. She wants to have a baby with her partner, the idea being that she provides the egg and her partner provides the womb. This news nearly caused her religious mum to have a crisis of faith.

I’m just interested to see what all those hormones do to those abs!
