This week, Sarah dips her toes into Dana’s world and tackles the only thing worse than being alive at the gym: dying at the gym.

Sarah then walks us through three horrifying tales of real gym-related deaths based on her intrusive gym fears: Ben Shaw's barbell-induced traumatic asphyxia, killer treadmills, and the mysterious death of Kendrick Johnson.
