Rich Gaspari returns home to the first hardcore gym he ever trained in.

HUNT FOR HARDCORE – is a digital series with host Rich Gaspari as he searches across the country in hopes to find the most hardcore gym in America. Visiting multiple cities across the United States, Rich takes viewers inside the world of the grittiest and most intense training facilities. Period. New episodes air every Thursday!

Hunt For Hardcore packs up from sunny California and heads back to Rich Gaspari’s home state of New Jersey to explore Apollon Gym. This is the first hardcore gym that Rich trained in when he first started bodybuilding – so it holds a very special place in his heart.

But a lot can change over the past few decades since Rich was a young hungry bodybuilder. Have the times and technological improvements changed Apollon Gym? Is it still the same no-nonsense hardcore training facility that Rich remembers in his youth? Apollon claims to be one of the last remaining hardcore gyms in the country – so let’s see if it still holds up to that statement when Rich puts it through the test.

Joining Rich in this episode is IFBB Pro Jamie “The Giant” Christian-Johal. Traveling all the way from the UK – Jamie is about to get a slice of true American hardcore as Rich Gaspari not only puts the gym through the paces – but puts Jamie through the gauntlet with an epic training session at the gym.
