Biggest Loser coach and personal trainer, Jillian Michaels, has signed on with NBC for an 8-episode reality show called, Losing It.
The show focuses on helping Americans across the country learn to live healthy lifestyles in this hectic world.
In each self-contained episode, Michaels will move into a family’s home and give them a top-to-bottom fitness, nutrition and wellness makeover. Unlike “Loser,” which is more strictly focused on shedding pounds, “Losing It” will take on multiple aspects of living a healthier lifestyle.
Jillian says the show won’t be a boot camp environment. Instead will focus on making healthy choices, which, in the long run, have a huge effect on your physical being.
“In a way, it’s a response to the comments we always get on ‘Loser,’ ” Michaels said. “We always hear, ‘It’s so easy to lose weight when you move into the camp and you’re living with trainers’ and ‘Would they really be able to lose the weight if there wasn’t money on the line?’ Here we’re giving you realistic tools and a realistic environment to transform your life and the life of your family.”
No date has been set to air the series, but producers are suggesting that after the Biggest Loser finale in May would be optimal. The show is currently in production.
I look forward to this. I love Jillian, she is bad ass. I have one of her videos (30-Minute Shred) and I find her to be completely inspiring – and certainly a tough trainer. I totally want her body - to die for! After seeing that pic, I am SO running twice as hard today!
I LOVE Jillian!! I hate the bad rep she got with the first few seasons of Biggest Loser but I think people now see what a caring compassionate person she really is. I’d love to have her move in with me for awhile to get me on the right track.
