Michael Karolchyk is the owner of Denver's Anti-Gym, and an outspoken critic of US health and fitness policy.
On July 21, Karolchyk appeared with Neil Cavuto on Fox News Channel to discuss Surgeon General nominee Regina Benjamin. In the segment, during which Karolchyk wore a shirt featuring the slogan "No Chubbies," he argued that Benjamin is likely 50-60 pounds overweight and, thus, is unqualified for the Surgeon General position.http://tpmtv.talkingpointsmemo.com/?id=3006771
