Last week, Los Angeles-based personal trainer Andrew Dixon let the public behind the curtain of a corner of his own industry: those lose-your-gut-quick ads claiming you can go from “flab to fab” in no time.

“20/20〃 decided to put Dixon’s tactics to the test, hitting the streets of New York in search of a few good men willing to become studs in less than an hour.
