You are now apparently 1000 times more likely to be run over by a train if you are a professional fitness instructor than if you actually work for the railroad.

Yo dog, we herd you like training, so we put a train in your training so you could train while training.

Trains were his Achilles heel.

From that picture who would have guessed he thought the train would go around him.

What’s the point of working out on a railroad track? I can think of one really good reason not to which Achilles Williams now understands.

Tragic story.

I have to ask “What was this guy thinking?”.

OK, you want to film a video by the railroad tracks. That’s cool.

But seriously, how could you not hear the train and think “Um, maybe I should move out of the way. I AM standing pretty close to (or on) the tracks. I’d hate to get killed or injured”.

Worse yet, why didn’t the person doing the filming yell out “Yo Achilles, you better get your butt out of the way NOW!”.

Why are all these fitness knuckleheads drawn to train tracks for their videos? What stupid metaphor are they trying to imitate?

Seems that Achilles had an Achilles Heel, in that he was dumber than the dirt by the railroad.

A selfie-taking gym-rat with neck tattoos and not enough sense to get out of the way of a train ... Role Model!!!
