Inner-Fitness Spa

After women have toned themselves with countless trips to the Stairmaster at the gym, Pilates classes, yoga classes, and broiling hot yoga classes, there is really only one final frontier of fitness to be addressed: their vaginas. That's why a physician in Manhattan has opened a gyno-spa called "Phitness," that is essentially a room down the hall from her medical practice. Per the New York Times, "At the spa, the signature treatment will be a $150 gynecological exam — in which a client contracts her pelvic muscles around Dr. Romanzi’s fingers — to determine by feel whether muscle tone is weak, moderate or strong." A workout regimen is then prescribed to promote pelvic fitness and health.

This sounds like a service by a lesbian for lesbians.

I'm fine with that, as long as she teaches magic tricks like rolling muscle contractions.

Fingers aren't the most accurate measuring .... er, stick.
