Video from a Boston gym security camera shows Boston Marathon bombing suspects Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev working out three days before the bombings.

According to reports from CNN  the security footage was taken on April 12 at the Wai Kru mixed martial arts center.

The video shows the Tsarnaev brothers jumping rope in the gym that Tamerlan trained at several times a month.

The report says the manager of the gym – identified only as Michael – described his interaction with Tamerlan, calling him “extremely opinionated and outspoken about his Muslim religion.”

Michael, off-camera, asked the brothers to comply with gym rules and remove their shoes. Dzhokhar does so right away, but Tamerlan does not, arguing with the manager.

According to the report, the manager emailed the owner of the gym, asking him to ban the older Tsarnaev, calling him “arrogant and selfish.”

The video then continues to show the brothers jumping rope in the gym with a third man identified as a friend.

On April 15, 72 hours after the video was recorded, a pair of explosions rocked the finish line of the famed marathon, killing three people.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in a police shootout on April 18. His younger brother was eventually captured, following a city-wide lockdown and manhunt.
