Gym. Tan. Lockup.
“Jersey Shore” alum Mike “This Situation” Sorrentino was busted Tuesday at his family-owned tanning salon after a nasty dustup with his brother, according to a report.
Sorrentino, 31, was brawling with his brother Frank when cops got a 911 call about a fist fight inside the Middletown, New Jersey salon, according to TMZ.com.
Cops responded, but took only Mike Sorrentino into custody, the website said.
Cops charged him with simple assault, and officials set his bail at $500.
It wasn’t the first time cops have been called to intervene at the family business.
Last week, cops responded after four employees from the Boca Tanning Club filed a police report claiming their paychecks had bounced.
Police said each employee was owed between $100 and $200.
TMZ said cops spoke to Frank Sorrentino at the time, and told him criminal charges could be filed.
The workers got their money.
As for Mike, he said the situation was an innocent mix-up that happened after the shop switched payroll companies.
It was not clear if the payroll problems and the fight were connected.
There were also reports of construction delays.
A representative for the family could not be reached for comment.
There is, however, a likely connection between the family drama and a new reality show premiering next month on The TV Guide Network.
“The Sorrentinos,” which debuts July 15, picks up where MTV’s “Jersey Shore” left off, this time focusing on The Situation’s situation.
The show will focus on the lives of Mike, older brothers Frank and Marc, sister Melissa and mom Linda, and their attempts to run the tanning business.
“The world knows me as Mike ‘The Situation,’” Sorrentino says in a promotional clip, “and now you’ll get to know my beautiful family, too.”
The eight-episode series will also feature conversations around the family dinner table.

Except for a stint on “Dancing With the Stars,” Mike Sorrentino has been largely absent from the small screen since “Jersey Shore” ended in 2012 after six seasons.
The fist-pumping, ab-flaunting Sorrentino was best known for his catchphrase “gym, tan, laundry,” which he explained as the three ingredients to maintaining a proper appearance.
Sorrentino also spent time in a rehab facility in 2012 after a prescription medication problem.
