Here's an interesting excerpt from an older article by Navy Pilot and Powerlifter, Jack Reape.

"Politicians have pursued pro baseball players who used performance-enhancing drugs, but ignored the corporate gyms that preyed on the little guy, giving him nothing in return for his membership fees beyond empty workout plans developed by "personal trainers" with little fitness expertise but large incentives to sell their services to people who don't know any better."

The sad observation here is that years ago that statement would have been understood to be about the Bally's, Gold's, 24 hour fitness crowd. It is impossible to ignore the fact that the majority of the get certified over the weekend for $1000 "affiliates" and "trainers" now fit snugly into that sterotype as well. Instead of a clipboard and a polo shirt, they have a stopwatch and underarmour or lululemmon, but the level of ineptitude, and lack of a valuable service is the same. I feel sorry for the good people doing good things whose name and reputation are coming under fire daily because of the behavior of these asses for the sole reason of being mutually involved with an organization who started out so opposed to this type of douchebaggery.

"Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible."

Interesting Fact: Pierce Brosnan once worked with the circus as a fire eater. Bony had a somewhat similar though less socially accepted occupation over the summer last year at Rehobeth.
