Finally, in the last challenge, the Jokers set up shop in a park, pretending to be personal trainers with an unusual exercise routine. One member of the group must lead a class of participants through a weird set of exercises, including hopping on one foot for an extended period of time and attempting to do a backflip while blindfolded.

As always, the guys are up to their usual hilarious antics, with plenty of outrageous pranks, embarrassing moments, and unexpected twists and turns throughout the episode. Fans of Impractical Jokers will be delighted with the new challenges and laughs in season 12 episode 1, "The Marathon Man."
