The guy just recently was shut down for being a tax cheat but he has the nerve to show his face on Fox and point fingers.

How much does Anti-Gym's Michael Karolchyk owe to the IRS?
By Jared Jacang Maher in Follow That StoryWednesday, Feb. 25 2009 @ 1:32PM
Karolchyk has some fat ass tax liens.

As you've probably heard, the mean ol' IRS shut down the Anti-Gym earlier this month, forcing hundreds of self-hating exercise masochists out into the "fatty lazy" world. But while many media outlets have taken great joy in chipping away at the colossal ego known as Michael "No Chubbies" Karolchyk, no one has bothered to report how much the Anti-Gym owner owes to the feds.

While Karolchyk was spending thousands on television commercials and full-page ads in glossy magazines, he was apparently neglecting to pay unemployment and payroll taxes. According to documents filed with Denver County, Karolchyk is on the hook for at least $184,078.76. The IRS filed its first lien last April for an unpaid balance of $115,978.56 accrued during the first nine months of 2007. Last September, they slapped Karolchyk again, this time with a lien for $68,100.20.

No word yet on whether Karolchyk has any debts from his 2008 taxes. But it's clear that the IRS will be giving the Anti-Gym's tax filing a thorough workout

Denver’s Anti-Gym shuttered by IRS, Karolchyk vows to move on

by Bill Husted on January 30, 2009


The worse it gets, the better it gets for Michael Karolchyk, owner of the Anti-Gym, which shut down Wednesday.

At least thath’s what he thinks.

The Denver fitness club became famous for insulting its clients by calling them chubbies and throwing cupcakes at them during workouts.

Karolchyk told me Friday that the IRS caused the closure.

“For two years I’ve been fighting an IRS claim for back taxes,” he said. “My legal team made the decision.”

He’s also fighting two other “bogus” lawsuits, he says, so he figured it was time to pull out.
