I have just had the pleasure of getting a real-life cage-match-style workout from the one-and-only mixed martial arts fighter Jody Burke.

The personable, passionate and intelligent founder of Aggression Fight Club currently resides in Calgary, constantly in training for the next time he's called to the cage. And it just so happens that the city's hottest MMA man also happens to be its hardest personal trainer.

Having entered into the MMA ring in 2000, Burke has fought in numerous IFC and TKO matches, aspires to compete in the UFC, and now does personal training with poor saps like me who inevitably scream SOS half way through or just fake a bathroom break and go MIA. You see, in addition to his own tiring daily training regime, Jody 'Trouble' Burke works one-on-one with everyone from stay-at-home moms to up-and-coming-fighters like himself at the impressive World Health Club in Edgemont.

Now, being closer to the couch potato than the seasoned cage fighter myself, it became quickly apparent during my training day with Mr. Burke that giving in was the only option...
