Great show but...

[TheManWhoKnewTooMuch1111 · 10/10 · 23 June 2021]

Love this show. However my only criticism is it paints exercise as some chore. I don't quite agree with the 'no pain, no gain' philosophy of exercise when it comes to losing weight. Remember, you wanna make it a sustainable lifestyle. I understand, these people have more weight to shed and thus they kind of need to amp up the volume of work, but that will actually backfire even MORE for n00bs. I am no fitness expert, but once you get someone addicted to biking on beauitful Wyoming trails, or running by the beach on a beautiful sunny day at Southern California and the unbelievable high you get or not limit the creativity and let one decide any sport as diverse may be volleyball, tennis, strong man competition, water polo and martial arts!... all these actually would ENTICE the people more to choose fitness as a lifestyle.

Regardless 10 stars.

Great work on the graphics. Trainers showed their expertise by full filling their bargain on their end of losing the weight and of course, emotional stories of the participants made the show hit home.

Motivation to the max

Whoever rates this show less than an 8 simply doesn't understand what it means to be overweight and lose as many pounds as the people on this show have.

Inspiring and relatable!

Addicted to this show. It's so real. Love how the trainers are so cocky at first and then when they gain weight their confidence plummets and they have so much more of a humble approach with their clients towards the end. "A walk in someone else's shoes." Amazing effort from all who participated! I can feel so much emotion. I laugh I cry. My husband and I are inspired by a lot on this show. We wish there was a little more focus on nutrition because they kind of keep that a mystery , I suppose so you'd actually have to hire a trainer to get the meal plan . But I love who all these people become on each of their journeys and how knowing they can take their lives back gives them freedom to live! Transformation is NOT EASY! They put in the effort and the results eventually follow. It's just an incredible show. Love love love it!

Dangerous and nonsensical

The premise of this show makes no sense. The fit trainers will have more muscle mass, and more experience with exercise, and that muscle won't atrophy over a few weeks of weight gain. So they'll find it much easier to lose weight than their "fat" friend will.

Which of course is counter-productive. The "fat" person is going to then have an extra belief that "the trainer could do it, why can't I?". By all means encourage health and fitness, find better ways to do that, but don't encourage fit people to gain weight out of some misguided sense of solidarity.

Former trainers on this show have subsequently struggled with their weight, because it's damaged their bodies. There are better ways to encourage fitness than this.
