Ex-Cuban SF personal trainer..

Post by Sleepy Doc »

Anybody else ever heard of this cat?

Been home sick the last couple of days and found this shit on the interweb. He has an interesting approach of "the world is your gym". Nothing new per-se, seeing how the best PT i remember was done in a similar fashion. I think the novelty of the "Cuban Military SF" and the bad spanglish are the biggest draws, but again, nothing that hasn't been done by ex- military guys doing a "boot camp" style approach. Apparently he has had some A-List clientele-Matt Damon, Mark Whalberg, etc- but it seems the ones on the show are just us regular folks.

I do like the "quit whining" stance he takes with his clients. I can see how that would come from training in a third-world military setting, further refined by dealing with pampered celebs. It doesn't sound much different than the usual banter from your average RIP/RASP instructor, just with a bad accent. Hell, 1SG Pickering used to preach the minimalist PT all the time. He made a barbell with some #10 cans, a piece of pipe, and some sack-crete.
