Introducing Shopping The Personals, a new Racked feature wherein we comb through the retail-based Missed Connections listings on Craigslist. Today's playground: m4m's in the steam room at assorted Equinox locations around town.

With its shiny workout equipment and muscle-bound trainers, gym chain Equinox is as fine a place as any to burn off some extra calories. Turns out, it's also as fine a place as any to make googly eyes at some dude in the steam room:

1) UWS Equinox Steam: "You sat across from me in the steam...great lean body...and our lockers were across from each other too. Couldn't tell if you were curious like me or not. You put on Levi jeans." [Listing]

2) Greenwich Equinox: "We've noticed each other for a while now. Were in the steam room at the same time today. You tall, lean, muscular, bball hat. Tell me what I had on and lets meet up." [Listing]

3) 19th Street Equinox: "Was with you in the steam tonight around 8pm—we were interrupted—but then I saw you weighing yourself while you were getting ready, and we said 'hi' when I was on my way out...Tell me what I looked like—and maybe we can get together outside the gym??" [Listing]
