8

Nestor Aparicio  03:41

$26 yes? So my wife wants to come over down to her movies, right? And her hamstring, she’s gonna give you $25 a month, and she’d go any gym in the world,

April Fowler  03:51

yes,

Nestor Aparicio  03:51

or just 15, and she’d come here, but for 10 bucks a month, she’d be cheating herself at

April Fowler  03:55

8

all. She

April Fowler  03:56

wouldn’t get the hydro massage bed, massage chair,

Nestor Aparicio  03:58

light therapy,

April Fowler  03:59

yeah,

8

April Fowler  04:00

yes. She wouldn’t get none of that.

Nestor Aparicio  04:01

I’ve been up since like, 130 this morning,

April Fowler  04:03

okay,

Nestor Aparicio  04:04

8

and I’m running low on energy.

April Fowler  04:09

Well, we need,

Nestor Aparicio  04:10

would the light therapy help me?

April Fowler  04:12

Yes, light therapy does help you. It helps with minor skin irritations. Make it rejuvenates. That’s what Planet Fitness really likes to help the

Nestor Aparicio  04:28

They need a black card. They do.

April Fowler  04:30

8

They need to come, yes, needing to come, get in the hydro massage bed with the soreness. So they have,

Nestor Aparicio  04:34

here’s the problem with having April with Planet Fitness and simonium. A lot of things are life, are complicated. Some of this equipment might be complicated too. It looks a little bit like I might need some element training. But the part where you join the

April Fowler  04:46

gym and

Nestor Aparicio  04:47

you get in the car, like this young lady here, like this young man here, park the car right here, behind the expectation York and Timonium Road, kind of between padonia Right here. You. It’s less than $1 a day.

8

April Fowler  05:01

It really is.

Nestor Aparicio  05:02

Here’s the thing that I forgot about, that I wanted to brag about. I brought my cars right here, five feet away, right over the camera,

April Fowler  05:09

yeah?

Nestor Aparicio  05:10

8

And I brought all my stuff in, and you came out. Want to help me? I’m like, I’m cool,

April Fowler  05:13

yeah, I’m gonna help. Not

Nestor Aparicio  05:14

gonna have the lady from the gym help me pick stuff up. I mean, Lord knows, I can pick up my own open 24/7, it says right on the door.

April Fowler  05:22

Yes,

8

Nestor Aparicio  05:23

I did not. Maybe I knew that intellectually, but I didn’t really know that. I don’t know that my ad says that, or that, if my wife said, what time did they open? I’m like, probably five or six in the morning. Is what I thought.

April Fowler  05:36

Always open, always open, always fully staffed. So if you come in at 330 in the morning somebody will be here to greet

Nestor Aparicio  05:43

you. All right. Well, give everybody the low down on pF and this location,

April Fowler  05:49

8

yes,

Nestor Aparicio  05:49

do you have every piece of equipment that any plan of fitness in the world would have? Or I’m wondering if certain places have certain things. You’re a really new club. Everybody that came in is like, Whoa, this is new, yeah. And I’m thinking, you probably, I don’t want to brag and say you have state of the art and other PF stone, but I’m thinking, like, if there’s a piece of equipment that was assigned to a planet fitness, you only been open since Thanksgiving, so like, you’ve got, this is state of the

April Fowler  06:16

art. I have all the new equipment. We have the Smith machines with non assist. We have the squat racks with the Olympic bar with no assist. And some clubs do not have that anything. And new clubs are getting it. And then I have, I’m going to be getting the cryo chamber. And, oh yes,

April Fowler  06:40

I

8

Nestor Aparicio  06:40

know about that.

April Fowler  06:40

Yes. And only newer clubs are getting those items, so I have all the newest what’s

Nestor Aparicio  06:46

happening for you?

April Fowler  06:47

8

I have to touch bases. They said it was supposed to happen in April, but I think you got pushed back

Nestor Aparicio  06:52

April.

April Fowler  06:53

Yeah, I went on vacation. Yes, I want a vacation April. Sasha, touch bases, but we’re supposed to

April Fowler  06:57

8

Nestor Aparicio  06:57

April one on vacation. April, my guest on May to talk about joining here in June.

April Fowler  07:02

Yes,

Nestor Aparicio  07:03

well, you’re gonna have the high school thing going on. I see there’s a couple young folks over here lifting weights. Yeah, four young men here. One was wearing Oriole Terp stuff. Was wearing the new be more, you know, city connect gear.

April Fowler  07:16

8

Yes, we’re

Nestor Aparicio  07:16

here at Timonium. These young people in the summer, they’re high school kids. I can tell

April Fowler  07:21

they are their high school

Nestor Aparicio  07:22

they’re high school kids. How does that work?

8

April Fowler  07:25

Okay,

Nestor Aparicio  07:25

yes, I talk about this every year, and I’m thinking maybe supervision or not, or who they’re going to be here give me

April Fowler  07:32

So how it works is, I’m the middle of May on the middle of May, they’re gonna be able to sign up for it. The high school summer pass is what it’s called, 14 through 19. They’re more welcome to come into the club and work out for I know. It starts June 1 and ends the end of August. They get to work out all along all summer.

Nestor Aparicio  07:54

8

24/7 24/7

April Fowler  07:55

Yeah, um, but 14 through 17, that first visit, we’re just gonna need a parent. Yep.

Nestor Aparicio  08:02

All right,

April Fowler  08:02

and then they can come, come in anytime they want.

8

Nestor Aparicio  08:05

Well, my wife needs to get in here, so you make the pitch for what you can do for a 53 year old. She 52 or 52 be 53 later this month. Okay, yes, right, okay, 26 should be 54 later this month. Okay, we love 72 so she’s in this bone density program from her cancer and her treatments and whatnot. She she had a soft ankle issue. She broke her foot last year. It’s led to a little imbalance for and like her hamstring and stuff like that. So I should tell you, I went to GBMC last week. I went to my doctor. I’ll tell you about that in a minute. Let’s work on my wife first, because it’s her birthday month and she really wants to get in here. She’s not afraid of any of this equipment, but she really wants, like somebody to hold her hand the first week or two or three or five, to show her all the equipment to show her some nifty stuff. You can give her homework she’s good with, you know, give her video AI, whatever

April Fowler  09:06

perfect,

Nestor Aparicio  09:06

and give her a program for someone her age for the things that she specifically wants to do, I think, some lower body core, little tummy, this or that. But, you know, my wife’s beautiful, yeah, so

April Fowler  09:22

8

I met her.

Nestor Aparicio  09:22

She just needs to be in here and she wants to PF experience. She really does.

April Fowler  15:25

I’m here a lot, and that’s my break.

Nestor Aparicio  15:28

I told you this last time I had a water bed when I was kid.

April Fowler  15:31

Yes, it

Nestor Aparicio  15:33

8

brings back those.

April Fowler  15:35

It does.

April Fowler  15:35

It

Nestor Aparicio  15:35

makes me want a water bed again.

8

April Fowler  15:37

My parents had that. So I remember it. I

Nestor Aparicio  15:41

had to get rid of my water bed in 2003

April Fowler  15:44

Yeah,

Nestor Aparicio  15:44

8

I moved to the 23rd floor.

April Fowler  15:46

Okay? They

Nestor Aparicio  15:48

had a policy, yeah. I mean,

April Fowler  15:50

you can’t have a water bed. I would

8

Nestor Aparicio  15:51

can’t have a water bed on the 23rd floor.

April Fowler  15:53

No, I would say the same thing, just especially

Nestor Aparicio  15:55

if you live on the 22nd floor.

April Fowler  15:57

8

Yeah, I would be very upset.

Nestor Aparicio  15:59

April Fowler’s here. She is the GM of all things, Planet Fitness in Timonium. It’s all brought to you by our friends at the Maryland lottery and GBMC. I gave you one.

Let yourself play. So which one do you want? You want Ocean City, Bay Bridge, black water, birds and mollusks, or SD courses.

I’m giving them away here in the club for everybody that’s in here right now. Those kids aren’t 18. They’re not eligible, but that’s gonna get the right ages here and our friends at GBMC, I just want to give a shout out. I had two guests on from GBMC this week. One orthopedist talking about the importance of strength training and all the things that I need remind me about GBMC before I go, because I gotta, I gotta talk to you about my health.

April Fowler  18:25

Okay, okay.

8

Nestor Aparicio  18:27

Fitness is part of planet. Fitness,

April Fowler  18:28

it is.

Nestor Aparicio  18:31

I went to GBMC last week. Well, I was there last month for walk a mile in the shoes, which is the safe and domestic violence, which is sexual assault and violence, best program in the state, if not in the world. They’re examining DNA from 25 years ago for people that were assaulted, sexually assaulted back then, to find the perpetrators. I did a piece with Danny and Bergoglio, but we did walk a mile in their shoes in April. Big fundraiser. All that’s up at the website as well. So I went to GBMC last Friday, I had my colonoscopy back. You remember this back in November,

April Fowler  19:05

8

December? Yeah,

Nestor Aparicio  19:06

and I had a pre cancerous polyp that they removed that could save my life.

April Fowler  19:10

Yes.

Nestor Aparicio  19:11

And then at that point, my wife’s like, Dude, you might want to get a checkup.

8

April Fowler  19:15

Yeah,

Nestor Aparicio  19:16

backwards, I haven’t had a checkup. I’ve been married 23 years.

April Fowler  19:20

Okay? It’s supposed to be years.

Nestor Aparicio  19:22

8

I’ve never really had a checkup.

April Fowler  19:24

Okay, that’s okay.

Nestor Aparicio  19:26

It’s not okay. Tell me it’s not okay.

April Fowler  19:30

I get, I get a yearly checkup. Every year, I get the whole

8

Nestor Aparicio  19:34

See, I I’m a fraidy cat. I don’t like needles. I don’t like blood,

April Fowler  19:40

okay,

Nestor Aparicio  19:41

all right. Well,

April Fowler  19:41

8

I have a lot of tattoos, so I’m bothered. I’m bothered.

Nestor Aparicio  19:45

Listen, man, I’ve done acupuncture. I’ve watched my wife be a pin cushion. She’s diabetic. By the way, the walk for the American Diabetes Association is the ninth, and we’re gonna be out for that. So let everybody know about that this weekend.

April Fowler  19:57

It’s

Nestor Aparicio  19:57

at the harbor, Harbor Point. You can look it up, Mayor. Diabetes Association. We did a big piece on that at Koco’s Two weeks ago. So went into my doctor, new doctor, okay, very nice lady never, never met me before. She didn’t care to have a ratio, no, she didn’t know anything about me. She’s made an appointment. And I went in. She said the labs word, and I knew that that meant I was gonna roll my

8

April Fowler  20:20

sleeve. Just turn your face. Don’t look just turn your face. I’m a

Nestor Aparicio  20:25

little squishy. I’m not gonna lie. So I’m not afraid of doctors. I’m afraid of needles.

April Fowler  20:30

Okay?

Nestor Aparicio  20:31

8

I’m not afraid of like a bad diagnosis, because I My head’s good about how my countenance is good,

April Fowler  20:38

so it’s just a needle.

Nestor Aparicio  20:39

So I went and she said to me, she took one look at me. She’s like she had a little bit of a patois accent. She said, You need to lift weights.

April Fowler  20:47

Okay,

8

Nestor Aparicio  20:50

so I’m here with you right now. You have weights in here, right?

April Fowler  20:52

We have weights. We have tons of weights.

Nestor Aparicio  20:54

She said, I know you do yoga. I know you are bendy. I know you need to go to Planet Fitness and kids with

April Fowler  21:02

8

the full body circuit, which is six machines, and let you get a full body workout.

Nestor Aparicio  21:06

I’ll come in

April Fowler  21:07

machines.

April Fowler  21:07

That’s all you got to do is six machines. I promise full body.

8

Nestor Aparicio  21:11

I’m not going to read you everything that my my chart read to me the next day.

April Fowler  21:16

Okay,

Nestor Aparicio  21:16

but it wasn’t the exact diagnosis that I wanted my blood lapse came back. It wasn’t anything dire or awful, but it had a one see that it had cholesterol this. It had a little bit of these things. And this is my takeaway. I need to make a few lifestyle changes.

April Fowler  21:36

8

Yeah,

Nestor Aparicio  21:36

that’s all.

April Fowler  21:37

That’s it. And little tweak.

Nestor Aparicio  21:38

I’m not the first person to come to Planet Fitness at this age, being as sexy and young as I am, but to say that lifestyle changes. So I went to my freaking doctor last week at GBMC, which is my sponsor. I am here at Planet Fitness, which is my sponsor? Yep, they told me that I need you. Okay, you just told me that I need them. I

8

April Fowler  22:02

feel like you need us more

Nestor Aparicio  22:04

to avoid them.

April Fowler  22:05

Yeah, yeah. I

Nestor Aparicio  22:07

8

just thought it was all the ham and coffee I ate and drank last week before I gave blood, like somebody smokes weed before they take a pizza

April Fowler  22:14

and they

Nestor Aparicio  22:15

I felt like I didn’t eat to the best of my abilities, before my blood test.

April Fowler  22:18

Okay?

8

Nestor Aparicio  22:19

So I feel like maybe I failed the blood test because,

April Fowler  22:22

no, no, that’s

Nestor Aparicio  22:24

so my wife said, no,

April Fowler  22:25

8

no. Unfortunately, that’s not how that works. But here, here at Planet Fitness, we will help you tweak those little things that need to be tweaked.

Nestor Aparicio  22:32

Are you the lifestyle changes she was talking about?

April Fowler  22:34

Probably,

Nestor Aparicio  22:35

all right, I’m just saying, I mean literally, I can read this off the app if you want me to.

8

April Fowler  22:38

Probably I

Nestor Aparicio  22:39

read it the next morning. I got it like six in the mornings getting in the show. Was getting

April Fowler  22:43

in the shower,

Nestor Aparicio  22:43

8

and I saw it, and I’m like, is this gonna tell me I have cancer? I’m gonna die? Probably not. Is this gonna give me information that I’m the healthiest, most virile, attractive, awesome, 57 year old and a half man ever maybe. So I took a peek at it, yeah, and the first word was unfortunately.

April Fowler  23:05

Planet Fitness.

Nestor Aparicio  23:07

It said unfortunately, comma, lifestyle changes. Lifestyle a, 1c, blah, blah, blah, cholesterol. All I heard was lifestyle changes. And I’m like, it’s a good thing. I’m doing a show of Planet Fitness

April Fowler  23:21

this week. Yeah, so let us help you. That’s what we’re here for. That’s why we have so many locations you need to lift

8

Nestor Aparicio  23:27

weights, is what she said to me,

April Fowler  23:28

yeah. So, well, they’re here. I have a lot

Nestor Aparicio  23:32

I’m gonna Google My AI and see if it’s a good idea. I know it’s a good idea.

April Fowler  23:37

8

It’s a

April Fowler  23:38

good idea. Planet

Nestor Aparicio  23:38

Fitness is always a good idea. They’re here. Timonium, um, you can join for 25 bucks, but you’re not gonna

April Fowler  23:44

Nestor Aparicio  23:50

people on the internet make it fun. They’re like, Dude, get a shirt to fit

April Fowler  23:53

8

Nestor Aparicio  23:54

they thought I need to lift weights tighten up a little bit.

April Fowler  23:58

Maybe

Nestor Aparicio  24:00

were they dragging me right there in the middle of the internet again?

8

April Fowler  24:02

Probably, probably

Nestor Aparicio  24:04

I get dragged on the internet all day. It’s
