RBI v. CCC

Today we welcome a special guest Blogger, Mr. Jerry Bodie, to the workout group blog, with an update on recent developments from the RBI workout group.

Knoxville, Tenn. - July 6, 2010 -- Ken Bodie, CEO and founding member of the Advanced Workout Group formally of 180 Fitness and now firmly ensconced at the exclusive Cherokee Country Club visited the other side of the tracks today at the RBI facility. RBI is managed by Performance Training who also happens to manage the CCC Fitness Center. Mr. Bodie appeared unannounced at RBI and demanded he be allowed to work out with the group he has dubbed "Jerry's Kids". His comment was that since he was leaving on another "business" trip, he needed a rather light workout prior to boarding his First Class flight to Stockholm. This was of course after a tirade about the lack of bottled spring water, fresh fruit, clean towels and LaVazaa Italian coffee at the RBI facility. In addition, Ken wondered where the group got their shoes shined on a regular basis as JuneBug was nowhere to be seen.

Bryan Rodriguez, Director of the RBI facility and trainer for both the Advanced Workout Group and "Jerry's Kids" succumbed to Mr. Bodie's demands and proceeded to pair Ken with Miss Elise Icuss, the only female member of Jerry's Kids.

The workout regiment proceeded as normal and about halfway through Mr. Bodie could be heard using the language accustomed to that heard normally at the 6 a.m. workout at CCC. Mr. Rodriguez made note of the fact that even though both Father David Boettner and Father John Ross were absent, he would not tolerate that kind of mouth in front of Miss Icuss. Miss Icuss proceeded to complete her plate pushes 25 minutes ahead of Mr. Bodie.

After the Jerry's Kids workout, Ken proceeded directly to Cherokee Country Club, where he promptly complained to the Chairman of the House Committee that there needed to be two sets of handrails on the steps leading to the Men's Locker Room as he struggled to keep from falling. The Chairman reminded Mr. Bodie of the elevator maintained for those older members unable to maneuver stairs on a regular basis.

Ken was also overheard in the Locker Room mumbling something about the Knox County Rescue Squad and had they arrived yet. After reviving Mr. Bodie, JuneBug made sure he had his fruit and coffee before he was allowed to leave the Club.

An e-mail from Ken was sent to RBI around 2:00 p.m. today from the Crown Room in Atlanta that stated the following: "I will NOT be joining you there (RBI) ever again. I believe the lack of air conditioning has affected Byran's brain as Superman would complain about 25 plate pushes."

Miss Icuss' response to that e-mail was pretty straight forward: "I thought Mr. Ken had been working out on a regular basis for the past 3 ½ years. Obviously I was mistaken. I'm so sorry to have finished my plate pushes so much sooner that he did. Had I known it would have demoralized him in such a fashion, I honestly would have slacked off!"

As of Noon today, "Jerry's Kids" will here forth be known and recognized as the "Super Advanced Workout Group".

GOOD LUCK, JOHN FELTON!!!!

The members and staff of the Advanced Workout Group would like to take a moment to wish John Felton good luck in this weekend’s Big Splash Contest being held Sunday July 4, 2010 at Cherokee Country Club pool. As one of the newest members of the Advanced Workout Group, John has been training extremely hard over the past few weeks for this upcoming competition, with good reason. Like other familiar dynasties that have great championship runs (UCLA, Yankees, Bulls, et. al), John is aware of the value of hard work in retaining his championship title year after year. The recent training overseen by his personal coach Bryan Rodriguez including box jumps and impressive sets of mountain climbers will certainly add to both John’s spring height and form off the board this year. With 15 consecutive Big Splash Contest wins under his swimsuit, John once again enters the 2010 contest as the odds on favorite. With his unbeatable combination of bulk, springing ability, and technique, he is a true artist when delivering his patented “Felton Can opener” to the delight of both young and old in the audience at the pool. Much like Augusta National tried to tame Tiger by redoing the golf course; it appears that Cherokee is trying to interject some competetion into this year’s Big Splash contest by locking down the diving board adjustment, which will force John to work with a much springier diving board this year. John’s dedication to the event was evident this morning as he opted out of his usual 6 a.m. Friday morning workout to save his energy to ensure he is at the peak of his springing ability on Sunday. Good luck John. We look forward to seeing a 16th consecutive championship 6 pack of beer get awarded to you on Sunday.
