In desperate need of a date? Don't hit the bars - fitness classes are the only sure bet in this town. An insider's guide to the best classes to score, and, alternately, a guide for those who want to avoid the meaty meat marketdom
Yoga Tree
97 Collingwood St, San Francisco, CA 94114
Somehow the best of all three Yoga Trees for getting your flirt on. I think it’s because this studio is known for it’s intense, flow-style classes, bringing in the type-A yogis and those who are focused on perfecting their yoga-body. The following are the best teachers’ classes to hit for optimal eye-candy and a healthy dose of yogic interaction.

The Rusty
Ahhh,Rusty. An amazing teacher who reached celebrity status in the Bay Area a long time ago. You can tell a Rustian by the perma-grin, incredible physique, and affinity for chattarangas (LOTS of them). Rusty strongly urges you to meet all of those around you before beginning class which, with upwards of 125 in attendence, could end up being quite a few new acquaintances for ya.
DON’T: think that because you used to run in college and don’t smoke THAT much pot that you can just drop in. Rusty’s are not beginner classes and if you slip on a puddle of your own sweat, a Rustian will give you pity, not their phone number.
Janet Stone
Eternally beautiful Janet Stone. Her classes are a humid, heady, blend of Vinyasa and sweat. She also fills the studio – so get their early to get the best spot.
Her Friday night classes dubbed “Club Janet” sometimes feature DJ Urn who spins live sets of Flying Lotus and M83 – the perfect way to get into the weekend groove.
Le Les
Cheerful Les Leventhal. His classes are fun and challenging; Les has a great sense of humor while teaching.
Sometimes it’s the teacher’s assistants who really get the party going. Relevant auto-biographical account: Once at Les’ class in a forward bend, an assistant grabbed my sweet cheeks and pulled them backwards. By the time I thought to object, I realized my nose was buried deep into my knees for the first time. Whew! What an adjustment!
Crunch Fitness
1000 Van Ness Ave, San Francisco, CA 94109
Been to a seedy nightclub lately? Then the interior of Crunch fitness might look familiar. Black lights, stripper poles, and bass abound. Lots of demographics , which is a nice change.
Pole dancing, Zumba, and Ultimate Conditioning are your best bets for picking up.
My favorite part? Head up the stairs and check out the outlines of those hitting the showers – their silhouettes can be seen through the opaque shower doors. Rooowr!

Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco
757 Market Street, San Francisco, CA 94103
Home of The Sports Club LA. Oooooh, swanky. Very swanky. Almost . . . too swanky.
Pretend you’re interested in joining and be prepared to take the tour and ask appropriate questions (this is much like a time share pitch, if you’ve ever had the pleasure). This will score you a week pass – a whole 7 days to prowl the facilities and strike up as many conversations with the downtown Financial District crowd as humanly possible.

Hot Spots
Mission Cliffs Climbing & Fitness
2295 Harrison St, San Francisco, CA 94110
If lean, agile athletes are your cuppa tea, you’ll have a great time at Mission Cliffs.
If you are a novice, stay on the easier routes and out of the way of more experienced climbers. Again, not the place to get fancy and try to show off – you’ll get more derision and less play!
Hot tip: go before 3pm to get a discounted rate, and meet other cheap/broke people.

Acro Yoga
Mission Yoga
2390 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94110
Acro Yoga – look social enough for you?
Forms of Acro Yoga have been around for a while, but here in San Francisco, Jenny Sauer-Klein and Jason Nemer have institutionalized it, structuring it into classes and also teacher trainings.
Classes are held Wednesdays (all levels) and Fridays (more advanced) at Mission Yoga in the, um, Mission.
You’ll do lots of partner work and get into wacky poses, so hold your yogic s**t together, and don’t be a perv.

Saying, "

Bootcamp SF - everyone's doing it
And it’s outdoors. And the instructors are good-looking, which is always inspirational.
Bootcamp SF workouts are an hour. You’ll run, crunch, dip, and lunge your way into shape, while suffering through it with fellow group members. Having something to bond over is always a good first step to picking up. Bootcamp meeting locations:
Prep work
Now you know where to go, but don’t run off yet. The more preparatory steps you take, the more successful your endeavors.
1. Good-looking workout duds
There’s only one place to head: lululemon athletica.
Men’s clothes that look dapper; women’s clothes that flatter. And don’t forget about their famous magical ass-pants.
2. Pick up tips
If you are not confident in your pick up skills, re-tool. I recommend bouncing ideas off of friends of the opposite sex/persuasion, but if that’s not an option, you can always stoop to checking out these guides:
