Smartwater Fitness Challenge

On Monday I had the opportunity to personal train some contestants that were competing in a weight loss challenge sponsored by Smartwater. It was for the radio station, 790 The Zone and they showed up with a big entourage! There was the GM of the radio station, the cameraman, the woman asking questions while we trained, David Pollack (the host of the radio show and super cutie!), 3 representatives from Smartwater and the contestants. Talk about being under pressure!! The contestants were very overweight, over 400+ pounds, one was close to 450. I was SO nervous that they were going to pass out. I did make sure that I spent a good 45 minutes with them going over their past medical information and I took their blood pressure. Once the training got started they were wonderful, great attitudes and very serious about losing the weight! During their warm-up the host asked one contestant what his biggest obstacle was going to be to losing weight. He replied: "Ruffles Potato Chips. I just love 'em man!" It was quite funny!!


I scored some cases of Smartwater and a very comfy jacket, like REALLY comfortable (I slept in it Monday night that is how fuzzy and warm it is!)They filmed us for what felt like FOREVER because we had to repeat everything we said twice!

More info to come on when/where it will air. Or if it will air. It might be just a web video. I didn't ask questions just did my whole trainer thing!
