By Joanna Weiss, Globe Staff | July 19, 2006
Watching somebody exercise ought to be as interesting as watching dirt. Most gyms -- despite the fancy exercise equipment -- are largely unappealing places, full of sweaty people wearing too-small clothes, and often grunting.
This is not the case at Sky Sport and Spa, the setting of the new six-part Bravo reality series ``Work Out." Here, in a Beverly Hills penthouse, the trainers look as if they could get modeling contracts, the clients are often demi-celebs, and if you remember who Jody Watley is, you can watch her do stomach crunches.
But the one you really want to see is owner Jackie Warner, an entrepreneurial drill sergeant in spandex, who has fashion sense, a husky voice, and a penchant for saying things like ``My place, my rules." She has the presence to put the smarmiest jock in his place; you don't need testosterone when you've got her abs. And you don't need to mince words when you're leaning over a client, manipulating his legs into uncomfortable positions.
When one soap opera actor starts flirting in mid-workout, Jackie quickly tells him that she's gay. He tells her people change.
