Meet workout DVD star Lara Hudson, she's bad-ass (but still very nurturing and motivational) and starting today, she's got a brand spankin' new fitness studio in Wicker Park.

The Mercury Method was created to offer a blend of strength training, Pilates, yoga and endurance training and this weekend Lara and her staff are offering free classes this weekend. Whaa? Free classes in a cool hot state of the art studio with Big Ass Fans, heated floors and ambient red hot lighting.

If you're one of the people curious enough about stretching it out and becoming [as Lara says] the architect for your body, message The Mercury Method on Facebook with your date and time of choice, and they'll put you on the list.
