Nope! Wrong again just a fan that didn't care for the show either but it has got me to start to work out. To me this is something we are not going to remember 100 years down the road and there are more important things to worry and get upset over in the US. I do like to keep you all going though. This is fun!
Yeah, I think there are a lot of things I won't remember in 100 years since I'll be dead.... Anyway, the show is called WORK OUT and of course, those of us who tune in want to see the drama but we also want to see what actually goes on in a gym and among actual trainers. NOT all about how Jackie thinks she's some sort of genius (who I doubt can run a mile btw), NOT a bunch of pseudo trainers who really want to be celebrities or actors but ACTUAL professional trainers. There are plenty of them in Los Angeles. I'd say that Jackie Warner is probably one of the least qualified and least professional trainers I've seen. Nevertheless, she didn't bother me until this season. I mean, why would anyone want to watch Jackie have a meeting with some producer about a work out video? How boring is that??? And who would want it now?
Seriously- why would a grown woman, owner of a gym be speaking so poorly about a very popular fitness model (OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER)? Jamie Eason is very well known and has a huge fan base in the fitness/bodybuilding world. These aren't exactly the people Jackie should be pissing off! I don't think Jackie should lose the show because of this but I do think Bravo should lose Jackie and find another gym with qualified trainers. Trust me, there will plenty of drama. Check out SkySport website or aka the I LOVE MYSELF Jackie Warner website. Most of her trainers are far more experienced, skilled and educated than she is. I'm not really sure why they're not on the show?
Gatorade isn't stupid. They realize that the fitness/bodybuilder community and gyms use their products. When Jackie slandered one of their own, she totally alienated a huge demographic. Jackie should have been on her hands and knees groveling for Jamie Eason's forgiveness. She should have been speaking about Jamie's accomplishments and accolades. She SHOULD have done something to save face with that community. But Jackie is too insecure, too shallow and too arrogant to speak highly about an attractive woman who is in far better shape than she will ever be.
So that's Jackie and that's what the show has become. She has alienated a large part of the gay community and now a large part of the fitness/bodybuilder community. Ummmm... aren't those two groups pretty important? I think so.
And the deal with Didi! Uh-yeah Jackie. Didi probably is a little unstable but I thought you were all into self-discovery, psychology and esteem building? uh-huh. Nice way to cut a troubled individual down. She needs support and guidance but instead you behaved like the uneducated child you are.
This brings me to Brian. Yes, he was a bit of a blockhead but good managers know how to deal with this kind of person and situation. Jackie is just clueless on all levels of inter-personal communication.
Bravo: Drop Jackie and find a better gym! We'll still watch Work Out but we won't continue to watch the 'Jackie Warner, I have NPD' show! Why don't you take Jonathan from Blow Out and Jackie from Work Out and give them their own show? Now that's something I'd watch!!!

Don't forget cancer survival population, clients past and present, who supported her, and decent viewers who saw the show.
Oh absolutely I agree. Her comments were just so wrong on so many levels. It's just unacceptable to be discussing ANY client in YOUR gym! But of course, we're talking about a woman with zero boundaries... as in sleeping with staff members... But I really didn't care about that so much and I could even overlook the breast cancer comments if it wasn't for her overall and complete disregard for everyone around her. I like Work Out but Jackie has become unwatchable. Sometimes crazy is fun to watch but there's nothing fun or remotely entertaining about Jackie Warner.
