There are the sadistic personal trainers, who seem to enjoy your
physical pain a bit too much. There are the slimy sales reps, who
forever dream up new ways to strong-arm your paycheck from you. And
there are the locker room Lotharios, who bed as many women as they
can do pushups. A body with abs of steel is just one of the things
you can get at a health club; some of the other things may not be
as desirable. Ask Max Hawthorne, an industry veteran of more than
twenty years, with countless experiences on the seamy side of the
steam room, where sex, steroids, and membership cons pile up like
used gym towels. Memoirs of a Gym Rat is his jaw-dropping expose of
the outrageous, tawdry, and despicable cast of characters that
gravitate to the workout room. A hilarious survival guide for the
fitness-minded, this salacious tell-all shares a collection of
anecdotes surrounding the appalling behind-the-scenes shenanigans
that occur in health clubs, both during and after business hours.
From the endless sexcapades to the unsavory tactics designed to
ensure your health club contract lives longer than you do, Memoirs
of A Gym Rat also serves up plenty of sound advice on navigating
this pervasive culture, so that you can enjoy getting ripped -
without getting ripped off. From one shocking encounter to the
next, Hawthorne paints a lurid, sweaty world rife with casual romps
on the exercise floor, and anabolic steroids on overload in the
locker room. Find out all about the sex, drugs, and barbell curls
that are on fitness regimens in this rare look at the scandalous
culture that runs rampant in health clubs. With raw honesty and
twisted wit, Hawthorne bares all the dirty little secrets that will
leave you spent from laughter, while helping you keep your fitness
goals (and sanity) on track.
