They don't say much, but, for instance, Erika says that when your boss tells you to get out of her office, you get out. Seriously? Did they not watch the show? I do love that only about 1 out of every 20 comments on Jackie's blog are supporting her. I get that she and Peeler never got along. They are very similar in that they are both strong-headed. Maybe she should've fired him long ago. But this situation makes her look worse than she has been (and that's an impressive maneuver in itself). Let's run down Jackie's actions: She constantly interferes with her trainers' workouts during their sessions. She did this with Brian in season 1 and on the cruise a few weeks ago. How do you expect the clients to respect the trainers when you're correcting them in public? The same goes for Lisa giving Peeler the t-shirt this past week. Why not just ask him to stop by when he's done and remind him that he needs to wear the uniform? She constantly acts inappropriately with employees. If it was two trainers, that's one thing. She's the boss. She makes judgments about her clients. Rather than finding out why Tyra was late, Jackie just threatened her spot. With Deenie, she only listened to Gregg's side of the story. I understand that Gregg has been trustworthy in the past. However, past actions don't make someone innocent or guilty. Jackie had the gall to say Deenie may be unstable. And she based that just on her conversation with Gregg? She talks about her employees with other trainers. Again, two trainers talking about another or the boss seems normal. The boss should not talk about her employees with other employees. Gossip. Gossip in any working environment is normal. Lisa was absolutely wrong to make those comments. But, the bigger problem, I think, is that she made those comments in front of Jackie, and got caught. And, it would appear nothing was said to Lisa (or at least nothing big was made of it). She is allowing for people in her business to talk disparagingly about the clients in the actual place of business. It was only a matter of time until they got caught. She uses personal grudges to affect her abilities to run a business. Imagine if Gregg and Deenie involved Peeler instead. Or Peeler got caught gossiping. Jackie was wrong because the situation with Jamie did involve Peeler. The event happened at the gym, while he was training her. Had Jamie or her boyfriend heard the comment while out at a bar or something random, and then reported it to Peeler, that would've been different. And, she refused to diffuse the situation. She could've explained what happened and said everyone apologized. She knew Brian would lose his cool and completely baited him into a fight.

ETA the official Sky Sport link, http://www.skysportspa.com/skysportspa/ , which indicates that Jackie charges $400 an hour. FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS. As if she's worth that. And Erica is indeed the most qualified trainer on the show with no less than 3 of the most difficult-to-obtain certifications in the business. Last Edited By: JerseyWall2 05/08/08 2:49 PM.

When you have money to burn, and plenty of people in LA do, you pay like that for the exclusivity of it all. To keep the riff raff out. Its the same thing at expensive restaurants. You pay more to eat with your own kind. And to be seen, sometimes. It's a status thing.

First, I have actually heard of Jamie Eason, so she must be a pretty famous fitness competitor. They ALL have fake boobs, whether they've had cancer or not. They need fake boobs because their body fat is too low to have real ones. This should not be news-worthy to Jackie or Lisa. To comment on fake boobs at a fucking BEVERLY HILLS GYM is outrageous. You can't do a bicep curl without brushing against silicone in a place like that. Second, I loathe Jackie's contempt for how out of shape the Skylabbers are. That's the whole point of the program, isn't it? To take overweight, sedentary people and get them in shape? Instead she bitches about how they can't do "basic stuff." Doing consecutive one-minute sets of high-impact aerobic moves is NOT basic. That would challenge people who are in great shape. I think Jackie needs to go back to Training 101 and learn that it's called the overload principle, not the "fucking kill your clients from day 1" principle. Gradual buildup. Jackie is a shitty trainer if she can't handle doing that. Third, I kinda love the Greg/Erika showmance. They'd be hot together. He is dumb as a brick, but he seems nice enough.

I'm not 100% sure it's true because I haven't seen anything else about it besides this post from the Bravo boards, but it probably is. I have not read all of the recent comments, but would like to share an email I received from Gatorade after emailing them about my disgust with Ms. Warner's actions on their sponsored program. Here is what they replied: On behalf of The Gatorade Company, we want to thank you for contacting us and sharing your concerns about the relationship Propel has with the TV show The Workout, specifically around the incident where one of Jackie Warner's trainers makes a comment to Jackie about a client's breasts. What made this exchange even more troubling was the discovery the woman being discussed is a breast cancer survivor. We have watched the episode in question, and we too were surprised and saddened to see the conversations unfold between these trainers. Since this episode aired, we have heard from many viewers of The Workout who are also consumers of our product, and we understand and relate to your disappointment in what occurred. We have notified Bravo we no longer wish to be associated with The Workout and will be pulling our commercials. Furthermore, we will not renew our sponsorship of this program in subsequent seasons. Please note, because this season's episodes, and past seasons' episodes, have already been filmed and edited, moving forward you may still continue to see Propel used in the show. We take very seriously the concerns you have shared, and we understand why there is discomfort for our consumers with an association of Propel and The Workout, given the unfortunate events that unfolded during this week's episode. We hope our immediate actions send a clear message to the community that we greatly value what you have to say, agree with your sentiments, and appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns with us.

So she made a comment about someone's breasts being fake and they happened to have had cancer. BOO FUCKING HOO! If she wants to run her business like a cunt, let her. This is a REALITY SHOW, and on REALITY SHOWS we demand to be entertained. It's not all going to be nice and courteous. Fuck fake-tittie-bitch and her cancerous excuse. FUCK HER!

I agree that there is so much more that makes Jackie a total cunt, and this was just one incident. Unfortunately, when you own a gym and don't stop your employees from making fun of the clients, you'll be in some trouble.

I'm sure he's not as dumb as he sounds - I just meant that he misuses words fairly often, like during their post-shoot lunch conversation.

According to fans, Warner had her manager take the fall for the remarks. Here's the lowdown, via one of the show's former fans: "Brian brought in his client to train. Jackie and her office manager were sitting in the office together and they started making fun on Brian's client's breast for being too hard and too perfect and obviously implants. What Jackie and her office manager didn't know was that the clients boyfriend was standing outside their office and heard the whole thing. He walked into Jackie's office and informs her that his girlfriend is a breast cancer surviver. Jackie in turn has the whole scene edited out for the show, and has her manager take the fall for making the statements. But the next day, Brian comes into Jackie's office and confronts her with her statements (because according to Brian, whom I believe) it was Jackie who made the statements about this clients' breast being too hard. Jackie refused to talk about it. Brian continued and in turn Jackie fired Brian." Warner has since apologized about what happened on the show, saying "The producers decided (regrettably) to create through editing a very different and what I think a very negative show." Gatorade has apparently pulled its sponsorship, releasing a statement which reads, in part "We have watched the episode in question, and we too were surprised and saddened to see the conversations unfold between these trainers. Since this episode aired, we have heard from many viewers of The Workout who are also consumers of our product, and we understand and relate to your disappointment in what occurred. We have notified Bravo we no longer wish to be associated with The Workout and will be pulling our commercials. Furthermore, we will not renew our sponsorship of this program in subsequent seasons." http://www.towleroad.com/2008/05/bravos-workout.html#comments
