Ep 8: Tom Campanaro

Total Gym founder Tom Campanaro was wrapping up a bodybuilding career when he and his partners thought up a creation that improved upon an idea dating back to the 1800s. Then they hit the road to find anybody who might find their new invention useful. But it was the emergence of cable television that launched them into a new stratosphere of success. Through infomercials, Total Gym took off.

In this episode of "Gym Class: Heroes of Fitness," Campanaro joins Leigh and Hossein to tell the true story behind what is arguably the world's best-known fitness brand.
