At a time when optimal
health is even more key, hiphop
icon Grandmaster Melle
Mel is encouraging everyone to
be mindful of their overall fi tness
and he’s bringing that vision
to audiences with the show
“Grandmaster Fitness,” on
BronxNet.
“Grandmaster Fitness” features
fresh workout ideas, tips
from experts and fi tness testimonials
from everyday people
as well as local leaders, infl uencers
and disruptors.
The newest episode features
Grandmaster Melle Mel joining
BIG KD and friends at Sessions
Gym, and Certifi ed Trainer/
Gym Owner Leon Love at Lionheart
Gym for epic workouts
and lyrical discussions around
health and fi tness. Launched in
2011, “GrandMaster Fitness” is
back and bigger than ever before.
In between workouts,
Grandmaster Melle Mel shares
his philosophical points of view
with tips such as, “you want to
be strong but you want to have
that strength last,” and “The
way that you get in the game
and stay on top of your game is
to be consistent with your workout
… The workout is never
over. You’re training today, to
be able to come back into the
gym tomorrow. We’re making
a positive impact one rep and
rhyme at a time.”
BronxNet Executive Director
Michael Max Knobbe said,
“I fi rst met Grandmaster Melle
Mel while I was working out
at a local gym during my high
school years. His commitment
to his fi tness regimen continues
to be as strong as his lyrical delivery
and inspiring message.
He organically came to mind
years later when we were developing
health programming
and a new musically driven fi tness
show on BronxNet TV that
would encourage Bronxites and
people around the world to forge
pathways to health and fi tness.”
