| BJ Penn at lifetime fitness in Lake in the hills Il
Ok so he was working out with some free weights and i didn't wanna bug him in the middle of his session. It took all the willpower i had not to try for a single leg TD. Does anyone know why he's in the chicago land area? i know Currans gym is right down the street In crystral lake and curran goes to that lifetime regularly is he training at that camp? or maybe even Guidas out in the Mchenry area?
Just curious if anyone on here knows anything

I dunno but I woulda said "what's up." Most likely there were probably only a couple people in the whole place who knew who he was.
Having said that, I usually do leave celebs alone because of the harrassment I know they usually get. But as young as this sport is, they probably still appreciate that someone half the country away from home would know who they were.

I did head nod towards him and got one back. i waited a little while after i was done to ask for an autograph but after waiting for about a half hour i had to bounce to get home and help put the kid to bed. I'm pretty sure i'll be working out again tonight tomorrow well you get the drift hopefully i'll see him there again and i'll get a chance to get my rvca shirt autographed that would be sweet not gonna lie though i was a little aw struck when i realized it was him

I think they just want to be left alone for the most part, but they probably still want some recognition.
I bet Penn would be cool way out in Chicago, because he seems really cool on the islands where it seems he is constantly getting shout-outs and hellos.
