Army veteran John Burk is a self-proclaimed fitness motivator. But his latest 'motivating' video has set  social media on fire after calling overweight people "utterly repulsive and disgusting."

The passion-filled rant was posted to Burk's Facebook page. 

"To the overweight people: No, I'm not going to accept you for who you are, with that bulls**t excuse of 'you should love me because I'm beautiful,'" the 31-year-old says in the video. "Your personality might be beautiful, but your body is not."

Burk says he's concerned for the parents that let their children follow in their footsteps.

"And then you're going to wonder why your children are getting made fun of in school. Yeah, that's a fact of life, people."

The in-your-face video is wrapped up with Burk explaining that he's not "trying to fat-shame" with his harsh words, but instead save lives. He's also tired of hearing 'flat-out excuses' as to why people can't get off the couch and exercise.

"This is me saying you need to change your life before a doctor comes in and says, 'Look, I'm sorry, there's nothing else I can do, we have to take the leg.'

Burk's Facebook page has been bombarded with comments with all different opinions on his approach to motivate the public.  The video has had over 2 million views.
