Washboard stomachs, bulging pythonic arms dripping with cold sweat excited many female body building enthusiasts as these young brothas took their shirts off, exposing their stuff at the MACY'S department store in New York City. Who are they? The City Boys are the hottest and finest amateur body builders and personal trainers in town. "l love Marshall because he is soooo fine", screamed one female admirer.
They were at the world famous department store to showcase their muscles and pump up the audience for their City Gym Boys 2000 calendar. Wearing boxers and smiles, they are featured monthly. These talented, young, and gifted men gave their fans T-shirts, autographed posters and calendars while the many TV monitors suspended from the ceiling displayed their City Gym Boys workout video. As the City Boys
peeled their tank tops off their muscled torsos to the shrieks and hollers
of scores of women in the audience, one yelled, "I wished I had him."
The young females
stood in line anxiously waiting the CG Boys arrival. Many agreed that
June was the best month for them because all the guys could be seen
at one time.
Charles is the creator behind City Boys; he works closely with the other eight men as they work out at various gyms and landmarks around New York City. Some of the sites include the Brooklyn Bridge, the Staten Island Ferry, and The World Trade Center. They work out at least three days a week. Freddy mentioned that it took him six years of hard work to get his body toned to the extent it is today.
I thought that all the guys looked all right but Marshall looked the best with his rasta look and his flexible poses. Many of the weight lifters agreed that "consistency and dedication" is the key to good health and better bodies.

One particular person said, "The calendar should have been done in color
so that the content could be better grasped. She also said "It's a cool
calendar because everything in it was butta" (slang for nice).
