14 DAY TRIAL // At 41, fitness instructor and celebrity on her own, Jackie Warner has the kind of body many women would kill for. At the moment, Warner is preparing intensely for a new reality show, one that will also see her help people lose weight, while cameras document their journey back to health and slimmer figure. Called “Thintervention,” the new reality show will play out by Warner’s own rules, she says in an interview with FitSugar.
The celebrity trainer, who has occasionally allowed aspects of her personal life take center stage over (or, rather, to the detriment of) her professional achievements, says she’s learned a lot from her past television shows. On this new project, she also acts as executive producer, which means she has complete liberty to make it into “the show [she] always wanted to make,” as she describes it for the aforementioned fitness-oriented e-zine.
“I am working with seven people and I literally take them through a life changing journey for eight episodes, which is a total of eight weeks. It’s a very powerful show. I think it is going to be eye opening for America. It’s really interesting to see the process people go through to lose weight and the emotional process they go through when they have to live in the real world in their real element. We do not sequester them. They are just working the program on their own and they have to get through their own issues with food... but it’s a group effort,” Warner explains.
She also has other projects on her plate. “It’s not all TV lights for Jackie, she also recently developed Fit in Your Skin, a very thorough health program for folks living with psoriasis. Helping people with the condition is personal for her; she watched her grandmother’s self esteem and health plummet with frequent outbreaks of psoriasis. Jackie firmly believes that slight autoimmune diseases from thyroid issues to chronic fatigue are a silent scourge of the nation, but dietary changes and fitness can dramatically improve these people's quality of life – sufferers of psoriasis too,” FitSugar says.
In the same interview, Warner also reveals she doesn’t miss her old show “Work Out” all that much because, how she sees it, it happened to her, whereas she makes “Thintervention” happen. The latter will hopefully premiere on Bravo this fall so keep an eye on this space for more details on it.
