This is a question Gyms

Getting fit should come with a health warning, warns PJM. "In my pursuit of the body beautiful, I've broken three exercise bikes and two running machines, concussed myself and, most distressingly, bruised my testicles." And he's yet to try and get out of his contract...

Underdogs
Some time ago I actually owned and ran my own gym. It was tremendously fulfilling, and the people that came were amazing. All rather unique shall we say (there was one who dressed as a pirate!), but the nicest people you could hope to meet.

Unfortunately I was rather disorganised about the whole thing, and it wasn't really making any money. A huge corproate gym run by a total wanker tried to take us over, and they sent some hottie from the bank to check the accounts. Turns out that I needed to get $50,000 or I'd lose the gym. I was devastated - that gym was my life.

One of the members came up with a plan. There was a dodgeball tournament in Vegas with $50,000 first prize - talk about happy coincidences.

Somehow we muddled through the qualifying stages - none of us had played before. We did get some great coaching from an ex-professional - Patches O'Houlihan - but he got crushed under a casino sign. Bummer. I got an attack of the nerves after that, but after a pep talk from Lance Armstrong I was good to go.

We finally prevailed, and beat the team from the other gym in a thrilling final. I'd made a wise betting investment too, so I was able to buy their gym! Revenge is sweet. Plus I got to bone the hottie from the bank and her girlfriend!!

I had you on
"I actually owned and ran my own gym"

Now, I know internet the internet geeks that are on this board, but no one who frequents here, would be gym-owning inclined.

Good film though!
