Pop diva and workout maven Madonna is always ahead of the latest fitness trends. She did yoga before it was cool, and pilates, too. And then there’s Kabbalah, oh wait, that’s a religious thing. In any case, the reigning queen of pop has teamed up with Hard Candy, a line of body conscious clothing, to open up a franchise of fancy gyms.

According to the press release, Madonna et al plan to open gyms in cities around the globe , “including Russia, Brazil and Argentina, as well as locations in Europe and Asia. The centers will offer classes, a bike studio and a mind/body studio, a juice bar and lavish locker rooms built with the finest materials.” The first Hard candy Fitness Center will open in Mexico City next month.

Besides her enviable body, recognizable name, and probably a truckload of cash, what exactly does Madonna bring to the table? Mark Mastrov, chairman of New Evolution Ventures (NEV), the company behind the partnership, says that Madonna has, “worked out in literally hundreds of gyms around the world… she has a strong vision on what the ideal exercise, dancing and work out environment should be.” Well, I, for one, can’t wait to see what this ideal vision of fashionable fitness looks like.

Power Resistance Training Chute

The Power Resistance Training Chute claims to be the premier training chute on the market, which I will buy since I’ve never ever seen one before in my life.

Push your running speed, acceleration & power by using this handy dandy chute.  The chute will catch the air & make you work harder for your run, and make you look sillier in the process as well.

The Power Resistance Training Chute is trained to drastically improve the two key elements of speed:  stride length & frequency.  The chute opens for use during training & the Velco belt allows for mid-stride release if needed.  Cost ranges between $50-80.
