\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>With Fall quickly approaching and the pools preparing to close, moans of sadness are being heard all across Stapleton. No, not just the general sadness of cooler weather, but the deep sadness only an in-shape person feels when they realize they will no longer be able to show off their body at the pool or go on runs shirtless or in a skimpy sports bra. \u201cI workout hard all year for these four months,\u201d says Dana Parker, who has a smoking hot body from her workouts at Crossfit Stapleton<\/a>. \u201cWhat\u2019s the point in having this body if no one gets to see it? It (summer) just goes by way too fast.\u201d\nMost in-shape Stapleton residents feel the same way. \u201cI run with my shirt off as soon as it hits 75 degrees,\u201d says Steve Elijah. \u201cA lot of times, I run in the morning, and this summer, it has hit 75 early. Now, I\u2019m having to wait until noon, and pretty soon, it won\u2019t hit 75 at all. Then it\u2019s back to wearing shirts again.\u201d\nAlthough most of the frustration stems from not being able to show off their own bodies, some of the frustration is simply having to look just like other people. \u201cOnce late fall and the winter hits, everyone looks the same,\u201d says Jim Trainor. \u201cLong sleeve shirts, pants, bulky sweaters, etc., these don\u2019t let people know that I workout.\u201d\nStapleton has an inordinate number of fit residents, to the point where some residents or people from other communities are intimidated to come to the Stapleton pools. \u201cI brought a friend of my mine from Wash Park along with her kids,\u201d says resident Amy Kleese. \u201cInstead of being able to relax and enjoy herself, she kept feeling self-conscience because of all the hot bodies around her. At times, she thought we were in Vegas. She said she is not coming back until she gets in much better shape.\u201d\nResidents are finding solace in a rash of new purchases across Stapleton: hot tubs. The number of hot tubs purchased in the last three months in Stapleton is significantly higher than it is in any other community. \u201cOur hot tub will at least give me the ability to have people over for dinner, and then go in and out of the hot tub later that night so they can appreciate my body,\u201d says Parker. \u201cNot as good as the pool, but it is the best option at this point.\u201d]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
