And as the clock struck midnight, you sealed the deal on a whole host of resolutions like learning to love your body regardless of what number is on the scale — a resolution we wholeheartedly support.

On January 5th, they hosted their first nude personal training session and plan to keep it up three times a week: one mixed, one for men, and one for women.
