The Trainers
 
BOB
Trainer

Bob Harper has skyrocketed from being one of the most in-demand fitness specialists in the Los Angeles area to becoming one of the most recognized and popular lifestyle personalities in the world. Now entering his second year as one of the fitness trainers on NBC's worldwide hit "The Biggest Loser," Harper has become one of the most credible and sought-after motivational experts on television and DVD, in books and in personal appearances.

In addition to his leadership on "The Biggest Loser," Harper has made appearances on such shows as "Larry King Live," "CNN Live," "Extra," "Access Hollywood," "Entertainment Tonight" and "Inside Edition." He has also been featured in magazines such as Oprah Magazine, US Weekly, Entertainment Tonight, TV Guide, In Touch and Star. Harper's optimistic outlook, practical advice and gregarious demeanor have earned him fans and followers all over the country.

Harper has spent more than a decade in Los Angeles developing his trademark brand of fitness and nutritional integration that leads to lasting lifestyle transformations, and In so doing, has cultivated a devoted following of clients. Harper's approach is founded upon knowing that quick-fix fitness does not lead to continuing and meaningful changes.

Harper adopts an "inside-out" philosophy in which he builds a relationship with each client. First he motivates them to realize their potential and their sense of self-worth. Then he helps them to develop habits -- and ways of thinking and acting -- which enrich and uplift them physically, emotionally and spiritually. His comprehensive approach has led to countless success stories, from top-name celebrities whom he has privately trained, to those who discovered Harper as a group instructor.

For years, Harper has been a premiere group fitness instructor across the nation and he's now known around the world. He has trained hundreds at a time in stadiums in the Far East and has been an instructor to trainers themselves, who have absorbed and replicated Harper's energetic and transformative methods with their own clients.

Harper is certified with the American Fitness Training of Athletics and with Aerobics and Fitness Association of America.

KIM
Trainer

Kim Lyons exemplifies fitness. She has been physically active her whole life and continues to excel in motivating others and achieving her goals in the fitness arena. Armed with a staunchly positive attitude and a winning smile, Lyons finds ways to make fitness fun and achievable for even the grumpiest of clients.

As a child, Lyons relied on her vibrant personality to make new friends. As the daughter of an Air Force fighter pilot, her family moved every two or three years. Her natural ability to entertain others became an invaluable tool to adjusting to new locations and schools. Lyons was also a zealous and competitive athlete, running track, playing softball and cheerleading while remaining active in several drama and acting groups.

Lyons attended Colorado State University, where she graduated with a degree in Human Development and Nutrition in 1995. Shortly after graduating, she took a more serious approach to weight training and taught aerobic classes while pursuing her career path as a commercial pilot. She also graduated from the National Academy of Sports Medicine for personal training and earned several nationally recognized nutrition certifications. Lyons segued into fitness competitions and quickly won national and international titles. In 2002, she eared her IFBB Pro card, marking her place as one of the top fitness competitors in the world.

While preparing for one such competition, Lyons severely tore her Achilles tendon resulting in donor replacement surgery. During her seven-month recovery, she became an accomplished writer and fitness expert used widely in such magazines as Oxygen, and Muscle and Fitness, and SELF. She has also become one of the industry’s most photographed models, and has appeared on more than 30 covers worldwide, and twice as many interior stories to boot.

Lyons has moved to Hermosa Beach to pursue her passion as a full time fitness professional. She continues to compete on the IFBB Pro circuit while hosting and making appearances at amateur competitions, nutrition stores, and fitness expos to inspire and educate up-coming athletes. When she is not traveling or training, Kim enjoys cooking, studying interior design, and participating in adventure sports.
