Meet Eric Kelly from the Church Street Boxing Gym from New York City. This clip isn’t exactly an advert but trust us, you will would pay for the privilege of being insulted by him afterwards.

A former four-time national amateur boxing champ, Kelly’s career was curtailed due to an eye injury yet he sets extremely high standards for anyone who enters his gym and as he explains, he has pretty much nothing but contempt for the majority of his highly-paid, typically Wall Street-based clients.

Since hitting the web earlier last month, Kelly has became a viral cult hero, as he prefers to insult the majority of his patrons rather than dispense his expert advice.

“All the nerds in the world? said i know where to go and they choose your body” he says to one particularly weedy gym-goer, while he explains later: “It’s just that some… majority, most… practically ALL these motherf**kers here suck!”

Thankfully, there’s plenty of info on how to join the gym, with the official website being found here. Even if Eric can be a little mean we still think that the guy at least deserves his own reality TV show.
