What: The grand opening of Steele Fitness on 50th and France
Who: Clients and friends of Steele
When: Saturday, June 28
Why: Because you can't work out all the time . . . right?
Motto of the Night: "It's not the hour you spend working out that makes the difference, it's the other 23." -Steele Smiley

Never heard of Steele Fitness? Then you probably can't afford it. We're talking a top-notch team of trainers, nutritionists, and massage therapists who provide personalized service, showing up at your door in tricked-out BMW X3s, ready to snatch those French fries right from under you. But for one night on 50th and France, running shoes, diets, and dead lifts gave way to Jimmy Choos, proteinis (yes, protein-spiked booze), and guac from Tejas to celebrate the opening of Steele's third Minnesota location (joining the Wayzata and the Graves 601 spots). You could definitely see the strong client/coach connections as many seemed glued to each other's side as they strutted around the room, chatting up other guests. And if I had a dollar for every pair of Madonna-ish arms I saw that night, I could afford a few Steele sessions of my own.

Wow, yea, I can't afford Steel Fitness. Sounds intense.

One question, though...are Madonna-ish arms supposed to be a good thing?
