For many, the New Year means new fitness goals, as swarms of people head to the gym to get in shape. But if a regular workout doesn’t sound exciting enough to motivate you to hit the weights, a New York City gym is offering something a little more unique: the opportunity to get fit in the nude.
For anyone wanting to get buff in the buff, Hanson Fitness, known for celebrity clients like Rihanna, Sandra Bullock and Tyra Banks, will be offering naked fitness sessions beginning January 5.
NEW YEAR’S FITNESS RESOLUTION? TRY THIS NEW ‘ANIMAL’ WORKOUT

Classes will take place three times a week, with one for men, one for women and one coed. Private sessions, geared toward couples, will also be available.
“The class is designed to be a total body workout that uses your body weight as resistance to work the glute, butt, legs and core – making you look and feel good naked,” according to the press release.
