TIM SAMUELS: If turning the clock back to the 1950s wasn't far enough for me and my cushion tush, I have a date with another popular school. One that draws its inspiration from caveman times. Valentina Vychushanina's class encourages men and women to tap into their primordial instincts by summoning up the inner Flintstone.

[russian speech] You are strong. I am with you. And I am believing you are powerful every time, and you are my king and the most powerful man in my life. And I know you are. That's unbelievable. I need that as my ring tone. Can you-- can you record this for me later? I need to listen to this every morning. I need to wake up to this.

Yes. I like it. You like it. Yeah. So should we get married? Yeah? That's what the course is, isn't it? And what could be more manly than draping an awkward arm around a girl, who it turns out, already had a boyfriend.
