I happened to be walking by the original location of Better Bodies [12 West 21st]. Ever since Better Bodies moved to 22 West 19st the original space was a furniture store. Incredibly it is a gym again. How amazing, with all of the space available in the area, the second floor of 12 West 21st is a gym again. I rung the buzzer of the freight elevator, because I knew that the same "super" was still there, 30 years later. He offered to take me upstairs and show me the space. It was actually a pretty emotional experience for me to stand where i stood for so many years. The front right corner was still an office, and believe it or not the front left corner, where we had our dumbell racks, once again, has dumbell racks, 27 years later!
