Bodybuilder Kali Muscle hospitalized after fainting at the gym

Kali muscle suffered a major health scare on Saturday while doing what he does best: working out at the gym, TMZ has learned.

The popular bodybuilder and YouTuber – whose real name is Chuck Kirkendall – fainted while exercising at a fitness center in California, his ex-wife, Dvyne Dirkendall, tells TMZ.

Kali was rushed to a hospital for treatment, but Dvyne tells us she doesn’t know why he became unconscious or what the status of his condition is. She noted that Kali had previously suffered a heart attack and needed a stent placed in his heart to restore blood flow.

Kali has been posting on YouTube for over 15 years and has nearly 4 million subscribers on the site, and is a fan favorite on Instagram and TikTok. He is also a personal trainer and last year started giving social media tips and offering coaching sessions on financial stability.
