A Los Angeles gym owner was caught on video making racist remarks about a vendor in his business, but he says the comments are out of context.
Akop “Jack” Torosian, the owner of No Limit Super Gym in Los Angeles and Miami, had a grand re-opening at his Hollywood location last weekend after some remodeling. Torosian got heated when he found out someone was selling juice in the gym without his permission.
He’s heard on the video grumbling about a “Mexican” selling their product at his gym, telling someone to “get him the f*** out of here,” and “this is not a Mexican hangout.”
Torosian, who regularly posts videos of himself smoking, and lifting, while getting a haircut — has since apologized, but maintained the video was out of context.
The gym owner blames his staff, saying they took advantage of him while he was away in Miami. He claims his employees opened a juice bar and brought outside vendors to help without his approval.
The company’s Yelp page has been flooded with 1-star reviews ever since the clip went viral, with many calling him a racist — one reviewer said, “Trash of a gym owner; Trash of a gym.”
