Great news for Sacramento Kings star Rudy Gay -- his recovery from a torn Achilles injury is going GREAT ... with Gay telling us he's 1 MONTH ahead of schedule!

As we previously reported, Rudy ruptured his tendon in a game against the Pacers on January 18 and underwent surgery a few days later.

Obviously, the Kings' season is over and Gay won't be in the NBA playoffs -- HOWEVER, he could choose to become a free agent on July 1st and sign a fat new longterm contract with another team.

So, when Gay says he's feeling great and should start running soon -- he's really probably talking to other teams ... letting everyone know he'll be healthy and worth every penny!!!

Gay is one of the best scorers in the league when healthy (19 points a game) ... hope the Lakers are paying attention!

Paris put her turntable skills to good use Wednesday at an Equinox gym in West L.A., where she was performing at a benefit for The Felix Organization, which helps children in the foster care system.

We always thought yoga was supposed to be done in a calm, quiet environment ... we stand corrected.

IT'S GONNA HAPPEN
Fox Sports AU

Conor McGregor's coach says the UFC star has already begun training for Floyd Mayweather -- because Conor truly believes the superfight will go down sometime THIS YEAR.

John Kavanagh joined "Bill and Boz" on Fox Sports News 500 and revealed while "the people in the suits" work on the contracts, Conor's in the gym training for a boxing match.

"In my mind, it's on. That's the mentality we're in," Kavanagh says. "As far as I'm concerned, I really believe it's gonna happen this year."

Kavanagh says training for boxing is MUCH different than training for MMA -- "It's simpler, less skills involved" -- but Conor's up for the challenge.

And get this ... Kavanagh says the two sides are close on agreeing to a fight weight ... 147 pounds -- way less than Conor weighed when he fought Nate Diaz.

Zuck commented, "As soon as I finish she yells 'More! More!' Easily the most demanding trainer I've ever had."

LA Fitness Sued Your Spa's So Gross ... It Gave Me Legionnaires!!

LA Fitness spas are so nasty and overrun with dangerous bacteria, sitting in one can put you in the hospital for a week ... according to a new lawsuit.

A New York man is suing the health club for $2.5 MILLION for allegedly giving him Legionnaires' disease -- which led to severe pneumonia -- after he used its spa on November 30, 2016. According to the docs ... the man became violently ill shortly afterward and ended up in the hospital for 5 days.

The man claims the spa was contaminated with Legionella bacteria because the club failed to keep it sanitary ... and the Nassau County Health Dept. found several violations in the spa and pool and shut it down.

The man's suing for making him sick and all his pain and suffering.

We reached out to LA Fitness ... so far, no word back.

SPEED DEMON

Gabriel Iglesias -- aka Fluffy -- put his tour on hold to save his life, and now it's clear what's he's been doing to get healthy ... boxing.

Iglesias canceled some stops on his hugely successful comedy tour earlier this month citing health and emotional issues. Well, now we've learned, Fluffy's been hitting the gym with celeb boxing trainer Ricky Funez and he's already dropped over 20 pounds.

At the time he stopped his tour, he weighed more than 360 lbs.

We're told Fluffy puts on the gloves 5x a week for 2 hours at a time ... putting in work in the ring and on the speed bag ... his goal is to shed 50 more pounds before hitting the road again.

Funez is no stranger to training celebs ... Justin Bieber, Floyd Mayweather and Mike Epps have all rolled through his Ten Goose Boxing in the valley.

Cue the 'Rocky' theme song!

Ben Affleck was just like every other Los Angeleno Sunday trying to get around the L.A. Marathon, so of course ... he asked the paparazzi for directions.

The actor was out with his kids in the Pacific Palisades, when he realized he'd have to cross San Vicente Blvd. to head south ... but couldn't, 'cause it's part of the race course.

Who needs GPS when you've got eager paps standing by, and the exchange between them and Ben couldn't be more of a Southern Californian moment.
