Finally, when it is 5 pm, he starts training with Aruna and realized how hard it is to train. He started the Pilates training and said, “It’s like yoga with a side of torture… I’m as flexible as a brick. I make 80-year-olds look like Russian gymnasts. At any moment I felt like my body was going to snap.”

He finally concluded that Cirque du Soleil is not a forte for him and said, “I have a huge respect for these performers. Their commitment to their art and fitness is something to admire, and I can totally see why their job is only for the strong and dedicated.”

Tennyson has previously tested out other sports and also gyms. He went to the Exos gym to see what the hype was all about.

The gym also has a physical therapy area and the fitness influencer feels that with so much happening in the huge gym, he can spend a lot of time training at Exos. He was right because NFL bigshots train for hours in the gym.
