I'm not going to watch this show. The main trainer is just scary strange, way to distracting and annoying.

thanks, i'd like to check that out.

thanks, i'm pretty excited about it. I enjoyed the show but could have gone with less drama (oh well, they warned us lol) and more tips. I'd really like to see someone like me transform herself by training there. Brian and Rebecca really don't seem like they belong in a serious gym. The others seem more dedicated to helping people and not hooking up with people. I'll keep watching for sure.

i agree, whole heartedly. i live in la and go to a gym where all the trainers look like they have been working out forever and they look hot. erika looks like she doesnt work out at all. she has pink's (the singer) belly, very manish. and i heard shes in her 30's, not 27 like she claims! she needs to remove the pole from her ass and lighten up working out should be fun and motivating like rebecca's personlaity and not stuffy like erika. she's trying to be teacher's pet. get a life, its just woking out!

Yeah Jackie!
The first episode opens up so many threads...

It is the first episode and it would be foolish to judge the show, the trainers, their lives and abilities on one episode.

But....I've read here that some people think Mimi is being portrayed by the editors as mean. I don't want to judge, but if Jackie has to say "Don't leave a scar this time" then Mimi has done this before. She is abusive and without knowing Jackie, we don't know why she doesn't see the abuse, or why she is willing to tolerate the insecurity, the anger, and the lack of respect Mimi has shown in this episode.

We don't know why Brian comes across as an egomanic or why Rebecca acts as if her only selling point is being a flirt and a tease. Hopefully she realizes soon she is more than a tease, she is a personal trainer hired by one of the top trainers in the country. Brian--has he never worked for anyone before? Would it have been better for the client to learn incorrect training methods or is it more important that Brian's feelings aren't hurt? Until shown otherwise, Brian needs to get over himself.

As a successful businesswoman, who happens to also be a lesbian, I find it reaffirming to see another successful businesswoman on a television show; that she happens to also be a lesbian just makes her example even more appealing. I am interested in how Jackie responds to her homophobic mom. It sucks when a parent cannot accept their child's orientation based on out-of-context bibical scriptures, and as a result they leave a sense of self-doubt.

I'm so ready for the next episode

As a personal trainer in Los Angeles that has worked both privately and in corporately owned gyms for years, I am puzzled as to why anyone would work for this woman. She is bossy, controlling, and an overall [expletive deleted]. At least that is how they portray her (I assume that a large part of the show is staged).

She claims to hire only the "best of the best". My question is that why would any trainer that good, not be working on their own? Most of my friends (myself included) who train privately earn between $75-$200 per hour and do it on their own terms.

I will say that the show got me fired up, as I wanted to slap Jackie across the face for treating her trainers like that, but they choose to work for her... and it is a TV show

Let's get more of "Zen". She seems to be the most entertaining and normal of the batch.

I saw the show and from what i have saw loved it.I think being one who trys to stay in shape as well ,i can learn some good workout ethics from watching the show.Love Jackie and her Team and i am sure this show will be a hit with thoes looking to stay in shape.What a great high spirted personality she is.She makes you want to try to do your best .

Yes it very nice to see a women who is not afraid to show her true self .I love that she puts it all out there and is not afraid to show her life and what she is about

Jackie does seem very comfortable with herself and that confidence is very attractive..especially to people wanting a real change. Comments seem harsh towards Brian and Rebecca..they have the most personality and I find myself looking forward to seeing more of them. As far as Rebeccas flirty nature..I think its harmless and lighthearted. She isnt mean or malicious...I find her facsinating. MORE REBECCA PLEASE

I absolutly love the show! Jackie and her team seem to be GREAT trainers! I would move to L.A. just to get a great work out with them. Jackie and Mimi seem to be a great couple. They may have problems but these problems are obviously settled. They seem very happy!Great job EVERYONE!

I was disappointed in the quality and unprofessionalism of your new fitness show and most of your so-called "Best of the Best" Trainer's unprofessional behavior and conduct (invitations to strip clubs to win the boss over?).

I was expecting quality exercise demonstrations and explanations of latest exercise research, cutting edge exercises and fitness tips based on current industry standards. Instead I saw the Owner's lesbian-lip-locking escapades in bed, another flirty unprofessional female trainer straddling her male client, unprofessional comments and attitudes and a HUGE MISREPRESENTATION of what the personal training industry truly represents. This new BRAVO show is just another reality show based on theatrics, sensationalism, sex and more sex.

For quality television, check out FIT-TV instead (Cathe Friedrich) and or view exercise videos/books by highly respected and qualified personal trainers such as Douglas Brooks, Carlos Juan Santana, Sherry & Alex McMillan, Tom Seabourne, Lawrence Biscontini, Mike Morris (Resist-A-Ball), Keli Roberts, Derek Noble and Dr. Len Kravitz.

If anyone is looking for a qualified and certified personal trainer, please check out the ACSM, NSCA, ACE or NASM organizations and their websites. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), American Council on Exercise (ACE) and National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) have the highest standards and testing for Certified Personal Trainers, and provide exercise instruction & research according to current exercise standards.

I'd like to see the BRAVO writers and producers of the new fitness show edit and drastically improve the content, REPLACE some of the unprofessional and inexperienced personal trainers with those who can truly help the television viewing audience in addressing the tremendous problems with America's epidemic of obesity, lack of exercise, and the serious health issues that result from improper nutrition, poor diet. The show & staff should promote healthier lifestyles and fitness to improve everyone's quality of everyday life. Set a good example, especially for today's youth. Consult a physician before beginning an exercise program - and STOP smoking!

Good luck with the new show.
