Inside America’s Fittest High School (Top 0.01% of Athletes)

Jesse James West's IMG Academy visit has prompted a conversation that goes beyond fitness: what does it cost to attend a school built around sports?

His upload, "The World's Healthiest High School! (IMG Academy)," drew about 830,000 views in its first 12 hours. That's already more than six times the audience his videos usually attract over a full first day.

The title's superlative is West's billing. IMG is a boarding school and sports-training institution in Bradenton, Florida, with a history of developing athletes, including tennis great Andre Agassi. West's tour shifts the focus from the bodybuilding personalities and grip challenges on his recent upload shelf to student athletes, their training and the school's fitness facilities.

One prominent comment brings up tuition, adding the question of access to the athletic spectacle. Elsewhere, viewers turn the school-sports premise into a familiar nightmare: imagine discovering that this is the football team you're scheduled to play at homecoming.
