Here’s a bit of news for all you Jeter fans out there: The New York Post is reporting that 24 Hour Fitness Clubs will be opening “Jeter-styled gyms” in New York this summer. Jeter is lending much more than his name to the sophisticated clubs. He has a hand in the design of the clubs and will also appear in advertising campaigns and make promotional appearances at the gyms.
A few years back we had the pleasure of meeting Dmitiry “Star of David” Salita, a religious Jew and undefeated Junior Welterweight boxing champion. (Talk about someone who defies stereotypes!) The story of Salita’s life is a fascinating one, and is documented in the new film Orthodox Stance which opens today at the Cinema Village in NYC. Rumor has it that rapper M&M will also be playing Salita in a feature film version of the boxer’s life story.
