Michael Tavernier is a fitness fanatic and his gravity-defying routines leave fellow gym goers open-mouthed. Not only that it has catapulted him to social media stardom. Featuring moves inspired by the martial arts movies of his youth like Bruce Lee’s Enter The Dragon, the 40-year-old Londoner has developed his own unique calisthenics-based training program.
His work outs have gained more than 30 million views on Facebook. They include extending his entire frame horizontal while holding on to a vertical apparatus and holding the position for more than half a minute. He goes to gym 365 days a year which includes his birthdays and on Christmas Day.

The 40 year old said, ‘I first started exercising when I was 14 to 15 years of age and since that time the journey has never stopped.Initially when I first started it was very much about heavy weights, but in the last three years, I’ve started to play around with body weight training. It comes from the genre of calisthenics – I’ve just added my own twist.’
According to Michael when he is training he goes into ‘Beast Mode’. And rather than doing a particular number of reps, he only stops once when he is physically unable to continue. The muscle-bound monster has a BMI of 27.7. It means that according to official classifications he is technically overweight but onlookers would struggle to find an inch of fat on his rippling torso.
