The Dutch will be able to pant and puff in the buff thanks to the opening of a naked gym.
Fitworld gym in the town of Heteren will open its doors on a Sunday for naturists to buff up, while in the buff.
Gym owner Patrick de Man said he got the idea after noticing another gym was offering pole dancing lessons.
So he decided to go a step further and dispense with clothes all together.
"I heard that some other gyms are offering courses on 'pole-dancing' as a sport, so I thought: why not bring something new to the market?" Mr De Man said.
Nude exercisers will be required to put down towels on weight machines and use disposable seat covers while riding bikes.
All machines will be cleaned and disinfected afterwards.
But one problem has popped up.
And it's nothing to do with rising blood pressure caused by the exertion.
"We recently conducted a large survey among our members, and most prefer to exercise with their clothes on," said Bernd Huiser, spokesman for the Dutch Federation of Naturists.
"The most popular activities are things you do outdoors, like walking on the beach, or swimming in a lake, or maybe gardening."
He said his organisation, with 70,000 members, is curious to see whether Fitword's plan works.
