Paul Byrne is the reason nearly every gym and health club in America has an elliptical machine. In this episode of "Gym Class: Heroes of Fitness," the soon to be retired CEO of Precor joins Hossein and Leigh to talk about where the idea for the elliptical came from, the controversial sales channels he used to market it that ultimately led to its prominence in the industry, and the challenges of staying up with every trend and innovation in fitness. Rounded out by discussions of fly-fishing and bull castration, this episode is sure to be an inspiration for fitness inventors and innovators.
