Would You Want Danny Bonaduce as Your Trainer?

FitSugar — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 03:30:00 -0800

Recently I was checking out Podfitness, a new site that offers personal training podcasts by many prominent trainers. Names such as as David Kirsch (Heidi Klum's trainer), Mandy Ingber (Jennifer Aniston's trainer), Michael George (Reese Witherspoon's trainer), and Danny Bonaduce (former child actor?) are available by download.

Wait, Danny Bonaduce. Yup, Danny Bonaduce.

I have heard that Danny has had his hand in fitness lately (boxing and wrestling for charity), but didn't he recently drop someone on their head on stage during an award show? Battery and assault are not really things I'm looking for in a personal trainer.

I've also watched about 1.5 episodes of Breaking Bonaduce and I can honestly say I would not want Danny as my personal trainer, but maybe I am alone here. Would you? Even if it were free (which it's not, Podfitness is $19.95 per month)?
