Journalist Mark Halperin reportedly plans to be stretching and rolling up into a ball on Saturday alongside a group of GOP megadonors at a weekend retreat being held by Mitt and Ann Romney.

The co-managing editor of Bloomberg Politics is set to co-host an early morning pilates session with Ann Romney as part of the former presidential candidate’s getaway for Republican kingmakers, Time magazine reported.

Class is scheduled to start at 6:30 a.m. local time at the Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah.

A spokesperson for Bloomberg declined to comment on Friday when reached by TPM.

The pilates session is only one of many activities, or in Romney-event-speak, “enthusiast sessions.” Others include “flag football with Sen. Marco Rubio and skeet shooting with Sen. Lindsey Graham,” according to Time.

Halperin will reportedly be the only journalist there partaking in, rather than covering, the event.
