RIP Jack LaLanne

September 26, 1914 – January 23, 2011


Like Zabo Koszewski, he trained and swam everyday and ate only breakfast and dinner.

He had a TV fitness show that extolled the virtues of basic, no-frills exercises for 35 years and founded one of the earliest health clubs back in the 1930s. A shrewd businessman who marketed supplements and juicers, his chain of health clubs eventually became Bally Total Fitness clubs. During his fantastic 96 years, Jack hung out with a whole gamut of them: from John Grimek to Arnold Schwarzenegger.

What a guy!
