   Sweating with 5K strangers | Kenny Santucci on Training Jon Bon Jovi, The Challenge & a Torn Bicep

   I lay it all out with Kenny Santucci, the guy your trainer's trainer calls, who spent three years training Jon Bon Jovi and built out his home gym. We get into the bicep that came off the bone mid workout, calling his own doctor at 10pm, and why his Canadian friend is flying to America to pay out of pocket instead of waiting 16 weeks to be seen. He breaks down why gym owners keep fighting over the same six people, how gyms keep raising prices while trainers get paid a flat hourly rate, and Strong New York, his 5,000 person fitness party with saunas, cold plunges and a whole street shut down. There's also the open casting call that put him on The Challenge at 20 years old, lunch at Johnny Bananas' house, and how the MTV guys ended up in Buffalo asking me where to eat.

   Why are gyms ALWAYS hiring??? | Bobby Westside on Hyrox, Muscle Myths & Hangover Cures

   I'm unpacking the fitness industry with Bobby Westside, a New York City trainer who built his own platform for finding trainers after five years inside Barry's. We get into why the now hiring sign never comes down, what a client pays versus what a trainer takes home, and the nine minute video about Barry's banning coaches from working anywhere else, half a million views, everyone still there furious. He breaks down Hyrox taking over, muscle working like a pyramid scheme, lifting heavy over hot yoga, cold plunges as hangover care, and the Ozempic conversation nobody says out loud.
