Many years ago the first infomercial I watched was for Bowflex. (They still do a convincing job.)

A ripped young guy was unbelievably defined — supposedly by the machine. Later his coach told me that kid had never seen a Bowflex before the shoot. He was a gymnast, of course, from MAC (Multnomah Athletic Club) in Portland.

Based only on the infomercial, Madonna’s representative phoned him for a “date” … before learning how young he was.
