The Secret Service assured reporters that there was no threat to the president as anyone entering the hotel, including its gym, would have been checked for weapons, but some tweeters saw a different kind of threat to national security in the leaked footage. Here’s a collection of people on Twitter hating on the president’s workout routine. So when he's not setting loose terrorists he works out with girl weights. // do you even lift brah? — Bartley Collerd (@BCdoesDC) [June 4, 2014](https://twitter.com/BCdoesDC/status/474281855660085249?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw "undefined") Video leaked of [#obama](https://twitter.com/hashtag/obama?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw "undefined") working out in the [#gym](https://twitter.com/hashtag/gym?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw "undefined").
