The Gym

Ah, to be young, juicy, and looking great in a tight black tee shirt. But youth and metrosexuality must defy gravity or perish, so you put your shoulder to the wheel -- or stairmaster, or yoga mat or Reformer -- and work your body until you can bounce a quarter off your pectorals. The gym is the temple of your taught self-image; metrosexual piety demands you attend services regularly.

Meaning: Transformation, tradition, expectation.

Reversed: Drudgery, oppression of routine.
