Apropos of nothing, a Racked reader writes us with an entirely unbiased and non-shilly update on the only gym on the LES, the spectacular Ludlow Fitness. It reads:

I was one of the first people to join Ludlow Fitness in 2006, months before it opened. It's just gone past its 1st anniversary & is as impressive as ever. Nicely-staffed, clean, well-maintained, with a good selection of machines and a variety of classes (also, unusual touches, like the free apples at the front desk). I didn't go much the first year (laziness & apathy), but reading "Younger Next Year" has prompted me to actually turn up this year, almost daily. Here's what I've witnessed so far: the owner himself inspecting & polishing up the machines; anything that's 'out of order' one day, up & running the next; the cleaning staff really giving the bathrooms a good scrubbing; help & advice on machines, exercises, etc., from both staff & fellow members (for those who are new to the gym thing). All-in-all, it's a pleasant experience, thanks to the people who run it & the way it's run. It's one of the best things to happen to the LES in recent years.....well, in my opinion, anyway.
