Gwyneth Paltrow gym a flop so far

Poor little Gwyneth Paltrow and her massively engorged head. The Oscar-winner is so driven by her own ego right now she never once considered that maybe opening the flagship location of her super expensive health club chain in recession-busted New York City wasn’t such a hot idea. Well, Gwynnie, the chickens have come home to roost and apparently they don’t feel like roosting on a Precor.
The “Shakespeare in Love” star teamed up with her personal trainer Tracy Anderson - who also works with Madonna - to launch a worldwide chain of gyms. But the duo hadn’t anticipated the credit crunch and are worried that not enough people are signed up at the New York facility, which is set to open later this year.
Workers at the gym are cold-calling people to try and persuade them to join, according to New York gossip column PageSix.
A person who was contacted by the gym says, “It’s ridiculous. Membership is like $4,500 to join and then hundreds of dollars a month. Who can afford that right now?” [Source]
You can’t see me but please know that I am crying so hard right now I’m actually laughing.
