"I want people to find the gym not just a place to work out, but a good hang as well," said David Barton, founder of the David Barton Gym that hosts cocktail hours after boot camp training classes.

According to the New York Times, clients can forgo their protein shakes and take advantage of a vodka beverage at the locations in Chicago, Miami and New York.

"It's better to work out and drink than to not work out and drink," Barton told the New York Times. "Our members have intense lives, and some people party and that's all the more need to work out. I'm not pushing alcohol, but I'm not a prohibitionist."

Pretty soon you're finding out that all that exercise is seriously cutting into your drinking time.

But at least the gym membership isn't a total loss.

The problem with mixing a workout with drinking is that you tend to spill your drink. :crazy: :lol:

Well, vodka in copious amounts won't make you fat... :lol: and if you pair it with, say, soda bicarbonate or water, you're guaranteed to never gain weight. :lol:

I guess a few cold ones would be nice after a strenuous workout. :)
