It was a whopper weekend workout.
Led by a cast of celebrity fitness trainers, thousands of gym rats took part this morning in a live workout on the back lot of the MGM Grand. The celebrity trainers included Tony Horton, inventor of P90X; Shaun T, of Insanity; Chalene Johnson, of TurboFire; and Leandro Carvalho, of Brazil Butt Lift.
Workout participants included health coaches from TeamBeachbody.com, a fitness and health website for people hoping to lose weight.
More than 7,000 people were expected to take part.
MGM Grand, a AAA Four Diamond resort, offers 5,044 rooms and suites.
