When it comes to working out, I’m not much of a team player. I mean, I’m all for group fitness classes — but more along the lines of cycling, Pilates, or bootcamp classes where I sweat next to the others, not with them. So, when a friend asked me to stop by the new phys-ed-inspired studio, appropriately named “Throwback Fitness," I immediately had flashbacks of being last picked in gym class.  Throwback is the brainchild of Brian Gallagher and Ryan Wilke, two fitness addicts who abandoned their finance jobs to forge new careers based on their fondness for the gym-class activities of their youth. I was warned that their classes would be humbling, but when I entered the studio and saw minimal equipment, save for a few rowing machines, I foolishly expected it would be a breeze. In keeping with the “throwback” theme, the class (which was pretty evenly split between men and women) began with a get-to-know-you activity where each participant shared his or her favorite '80s movie. (In case you’re wondering, mine was Just One of the Guys — '80s brilliance at its best.) Then, we stood in a circle and did some basic stretching, while Gallagher and Wilke explained the structure of the class.
