Transcript

A few weeks ago I posted a video about what gyms I should go to in Chicago. A lot of people were recommending run clubs and group fitness classes. I mean, do I look like I would do something like that? Is that the look I give off? I mean, I'm 200 pounds and I basically look like I wrestle with my shirt off. I mean, no offense to those people that do that type of stuff, but I'm not doing a spin class or a run club or any group fitness class.
