Trump Hotels Charging Megabucks For Wii Personal Training
At Trump hotels, a Benjamin can get you a solid hour of some guy showing off the Nintendo Wii.
Current late-night talk show host and co-creator of the Man Show [http://www.amazon.com/Man-Show-Complete-First-Season/dp/B00081U6KA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1276638685&sr=1-1] Jimmy Kimmel was surprised by a discovery he made while staying a an unnamed Trump hotel. The hotel was offering a really great, terrible deal of $90 for a so-called "personal trainer" to teach the oblivious or super-rich how to get fit while playing the Nintendo Wii.
Kimmel tweeted [http://twitpic.com/1psoc1] a snapshot of proof, saying: "Trump Hotel offers PERSONAL TRAINERS to do WiiFit w/ your kids. I miss PacMan. And sanity." $90 gets customers a 55 minute session of "Virtual reality/real results" where a personal trainer shows "you and your family how to get the most out of your gaming experience."
While Kimmel mentions Wii Sports [http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Fit-Nintendo/dp/B000VJRU44/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1276638756&sr=8-1] tennis against you for 55 minutes, and leave saying "Sucker!" under his breath as he fans himself with his earnings. Assuming a 40 hour workweek, one Wii trainer alone could be pulling in around $14,000 a month just by showing customers how to move their arms in front of a television.
Hotels are known for offering really expensive everything, sometimes charging by the Skittle, but this "personal training" offer is bordering on insane. I get that some people can throw around $90 like it's a can of beans, but those people should at least be smart enough to go buy a Wii for this kind of money. Or, I don't know, just go to a gym?
