Hardcore Muscle Club is a full body workout for lovers of high intensity friction. It’s time to feel the burn with our masked fitness gurus in a hypnotic spectacle of muscle-crunching bumps and grinds. Tap into the sexually-charged allure of 80’s aerobics and wrestling culture and celebrate your body as a playground of fantasy and transformation. This exercise routine and gym experience is designed to raise your temperature and break a sweat with soft weights and lycra lumps formulated to flirt with the messy contradictions of fitness rituals. Slide into your lycra, limber up, and renew your membership today for the fleshy paradise of Hardcore Muscle Club.
