Holly Stephey & The Raw Awards Jeremiah Stroup

Max Hawthorne has more than twenty years in the health club industry. He's a certified personal trainer, an avid boxer and martial artist, and has studied anatomy and kinesiology. He has seen it all, been part of it, and now plans to expose it! Hawthorne introduces us to a hilarious cast of characters with twisted wit and clever anecdotes, while guiding you through best practices to getting the fit body you want, without getting caught up in the negative side of a gym rat's existence. "After 20 years in the business, I've seen it all," says Hawthorne. "Walk into almost any fitness club around the nation and you'll find it - sex, drugs, deceit, membership cons, locker robberies - you'll be shocked to know what really goes on at these clubs, both during and after business hours.

Hawthorne pulls from his real-life experiences to uncover shocking behind-the-scenes shenanigans with his humorous but eye-opening account of our nation's health clubs.
