Bravo's Work Out Is Pretty Fun


Last night I watched the first episode of the new show Work Out and you know what, it was rather entertaining. Not only does it sound a great deal like one of Bravo's other tv shows, Blow Out, it has the exact same formula: tough as nails business owner whips staff members into shape while searching for love. The main difference is that a) the business is a gym now, not a hair salon; b) the gym trainers are better looking than the hair stylists; and c) the owner is actually a real man. Well, let's say lesbian gym owner Jackie Warner is more of a man than Blow Out's Jonathan Anton will ever be.

Jackie has a great personality and though she's a bit domineering, it's her gym and her rules. I respect that. And when her girlfriend tries to fight with her, she takes the high road because she's got her stuff together and knows who she is. I also admire Jackie because she hired ADOR-able Jesse (see pic) over some perhaps better qualified people with no personality, realizing that relating to clients can't be learned, while perfecting a work out routine can.

Is it just me, or does Jackie only have one facial expression - and it's called "sourpuss"? Smile a little.
