Buried Lede: Columbia Law School Not Nearly As Difficult As You Might Have Thought

Its students apparently have a lot of free time:

A thrifty Columbia Law School student has taken to working out regularly at the city’s legion of gyms, yoga studios and dojos — without ever paying.

“All want my nonexistent money, and they’re willing to lure me with the offer of a free session, or sometimes even a free week,” said the hard-bodied Julia Neyman, 24, who blogs about her adventures on bunsofsteal.blogspot.com.

“But I’ve got an ace up my sleeve: desperation, and the willingness to travel all over the five boroughs to make sure my workout is gratis.”

. . .

At David Barton Gym in Chelsea, Neyman struck out when she tried to flirt her way into an extended pass.

“I realized the problem of working out at a predominantly gay gym: My gender had absolutely zero pull,” she wrote on her blog.

A buff employee at the Equinox on 92nd St., where Neyman worked out, said “gym grifters” are common these days and that his branch was cracking down.
