“At 21 years of age Jack developed the first models of exercise equipment, and these are standards in gyms today.”

“Jack from whom the term “Jumping jack” and description of a muscular person as “jacked” are both derived, is well known for his birthday feats.”

“God gives us the power to act for ourselves, but let me tell you something. At five in the morning I have never heard this . Hello Jack, this is Jesus. I will work out today.”

“At age 70 the guy towed 70 boats carrying 70 people across the Long Beach harbor, with both arms and feet shackled.”

“He was the first to have women work out with weights - a radical idea.”
