5. One of his early workout

Aug 2025

businesses started a few blocks from where I lived. I worked nights and my mother stayed with my kids so I would hit the gym for a short workout on my way home. They were always nice at Popeyes. I had a small membership and that was good because I went one morning and they were gone. Dr. Phil was one of the owners but nobody knew who he was then. (this is how it goes here anyway)

It was not too long, I really cannot remember but a larger gym was built and it was really nice and they had tennis and lots of classes. I joined but finally quit because it was getting pricey and my kids tennis teacher moved out of teaching there so...I think it closed down too and is now open again. There were rumors of Dr. Phil taking a lot of money but I never looked into it, life moves on. I wish I had, it would have been interesting to put a toe in and watch them fall.

It all comes up in the paper now and again. It sucks. You cannot even sweat without some rich guy selling it off you.
