400 Japanese Fans Work-Out With Billy Blanks
Video coverage of a huge group session of Billy’s Bootcamp:
It even had some coverage in the western media, linking Billy’s popularity to a fattening Japan:
Sweating, panting and some groaning, 400 Japanese worked out on Sunday with U.S. fitness guru Billy Blanks, whose military-style exercises have become a huge hit in a country where waistlines are bulging.
[...]
As worries over “metabo” grow, Japanese have snapped up Blanks’s four-set DVD, “Billy’s Boot Camp”, in droves. Marketing officials are mum on figures but media reports say around 500,000 sets have been sold.
Fans say the appeal of the workout is not only in the fast-paced combinations of kicks, jabs and squats set to thumping music, but also Blanks himself, known in the United States as trainer to the stars.
“Keep your legs up,” he shouts. “Let me see your power.”
Blanks, 51, in Japan for a 10-day promotional visit, told fans who showed up for a live workout session that it was imperative that they do not quit the program.

I remember in high school, I bought his video set because it was the “newest” thing in town. It was really expensive too. It was like over $100. He has the beginners set up to experts set. The first day went okay but the next day, I was unmotivated. I think it would be better if he and I exercise together because with all that shouting and high spirit he has, I would be sweating in no time.
Anyway, his work-out video is no diff. than any other work-out videos. All it comes down to is the individual who wants to lose the weight.
He is making so much money in Japan. Such a waste of money.
