No Hubby if Chubby - too funny
I just saw a commercial for a personal trainer in Denver--and that was the line he used--i want to know if he gets business or death threats
forget it, this was in the post: pretty funny
His bright-orange T-shirt says, "NO CHUBBIES" - and Michael Karolchyk means it. He hates chubbies - fat people, lazy people, muffins.
"I'm Polish," he says. "That makes me stubborn and mean. And I'm bald, so I can make fun of chubby people. ... You'll never get a hubby if you're a chubby."
He also throws cupcakes at chubbies at his health club, the Anti-Gym, with a spot downtown and a new one in Cherry Creek. His in-your-face attitude and edgy marketing on TV and radio have made Karolchyk "The Most Hated Man in Denver," says a recent profile in Mile High Sports Magazine.
"I get e-mails every day that say, 'I hope you die,"' Karolchyk says, or, more accurately, yells. This guy is intense, like Bruce
Michael Karolchyk and Lisa Pelster eschew the fat. (The Denver Post)Willis imitating Jack Nicholson on a gallon of Red Bull yelling, "You can't handle the truth!"
Anti-Gym's motto is "Have Sex With the Lights On." The look of the gym is industrial. Near the workout area is a "BARF BUCKET" for people who push themselves too far. A roster keeps track of how people are doing at Anti-Gym: Dean's List, Jimmy Dean's Sausage List and the Fatso List. If you slack off in a drill, your entire group is punished. The men's and women's locker rooms lead to a coed shower area. And then there's the Ravish Room, a private room with a hot tub and sauna and shower that, with a secret code, only admits men with 11 percent body fat and women with 16 percent body fat. "It's the hardest club in Cherry Creek to get into," says Karolchyk. "It doesn't matter who you know or who your daddy is or how much money you have. And what happens in the Ravish Room stays in the Ravish Room."
Not much ravishing going on there during my visit this week as it was still under construction. That's what Anti-Gym feels like. An edgy, politically incorrect work in progress.
It costs about $30-$40 a session, and they suggest a few sessions a week. You can see all of it at theantigym.com - and Comcast is about to start airing "American Chubby," hosted by Karolchyk and Lisa Pelster, who looks like she lives in the Anti-Gym.
Today at 5 p.m. there's a staged anti-Anti-Gym demonstration in front of Cold Stone Creamery in Cherry Creek, supposedly organized by the Colorado Over-Weight Society, or COWS. Anti-Gym enthusiasts will stage an Anti-COWS demonstration. Then there's a "Sex With the Lights On" party at Brix at 6 p.m. What a town!
