NEW FIFTY SHADES OF PAIN BUSINESS IS (SADLY) NOT A BONDAGE DUNGEON

January 10, 2013 | 9:31 PM
in NEWS, OPEN/CLOSED

Ladies, did you see the awning that just went up on 93rd Street and Amsterdam Avenue advertising a business called Fifty Shades of Pain? Did you wonder for a moment if it had anything do with the bestselling erotic bondage novel Fifty Shades of Grey?

Well, unless you find working out to be erotic, you’re bound to be disappointed.

Fifty Shades of Pain, which just opened last week, is a gym, and the word Pain stands for “Positive Attitude Inspiring Nature.” Because that’s always what I think of when I think of the word “pain.”

There’s no monthly membership fee, and they also offer cardio and kickboxing. But sadly, there are no erotic sessions with wealthy dominant men where they flog you with riding crops. As far as we know.

Hat-tip to Racked. Thanks to Laurel for the photo.
