Cutler: live interactive

Flex, Jan, 2009 by Julian Schmidt

As Jay Cutler upped the ante in physiques, so has he upped the ante in guest posings, turning that customarily conventional event into a weekend-long carnival of elbow rubbing with the two-time Mr. Olympia. When you see an announcement that reads, "Jay Cutler Hits (Istanbul, or Toronto, or Budapest, or Dubai, or wherever)," you'll know you're in for two days of personal involvement with affable, attentive Jay. "I do a seminar and a guest pose," he explains, "and then, a winner is chosen from the ticket holders, and that person gets to work out with Jay Cutler the next day. People are getting a big thrill out of it, and it makes me happy. The Mr. Olympia is a great show, but I'm removed from public contact up there onstage, then I disappear. This is more personal, and I can be a lot more interactive, so it's really cool."

Also in 2009, watch for several more of Cutler's training camps, like the one held in Venice Beach, California - where fans join him in a workout--to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Every Cutler appearance these days is a win-win situation.
