Jack LaLanne
Person
Born
LaLanne trained as a chiropractor and opened one of America's first health clubs in Oakland in 1936, when doctors warned that weightlifting was harmful. His knowledge of exercise and nutrition became a television show that ran for decades, a chain of gyms licensed under his name and later the juicers he sold on television. The selling, not the training, was what he had to learn, and he learned it on camera.
