Rebecca is one of the most popular fitness trainers on Bravo’s Workout.  She certainly has great abs, on par with Jackie Warner herself.  Her uninhibited personality will certainly make things interesting at Sky Sport & Spa.  Take a look for yourself…

Jackie, Paris and others are working together to help some worthy causes…

Jackie Warner of Bravo’s Work Out will host an exclusive event with REALITY CARES and SUNSTYLE to bring together reality stars from today’s hottest shows on Sunday, March 30 from 2 – 5 p.m.

Guests include Paris Hilton (Paris Hilton’s My New BFF), Janice Dickinson (The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency), Todd Herzog (Winner of “Survivor: China”).

Tian Kitchen (The Amazing Race), Alex Quinn (E!’s Filthy Rich), Jai Rodriguez (Queer Eye), Rebecca Cardon and Jesse Brune (Work Out), Nick Warnock and Kristen Kirchner (The Apprentice) will also be there.

Plus, celebrities from Project Runway, American Idol, Dancing with the Stars and TotalPopStar.com will be hanging out too. 

They’ll all be gathering at the swank SUNSTYLE tanning studio on Robertson Blvd.

Proceeds help raise awareness for Stoked Mentoring, a non-profit charity organization that develops innovative mentoring programs for “at risk” youth.

Zen Gray, the friendly, likable trainer on Jackie Warner’s Workout won’t be returning for season 3.  As often happens in these matters you never get a single definitive reason.  So instead we offer the words of Zen herself:

I want to thank everybody that has written me lately with the big questions, “What’s up with Season 3?! Where are you?” And my favorite, “I’m not watching if you’re not on it!”

I want to assure everyone that I’m doing awesome and working on many exciting projects! Even though you won’t be seeing me on Season 3, you will be seeing me! But that’s all I can say for now.

I’m still on great terms with Jackie and all of those awesome trainers and I still have many clients over at Sky, Sport & Spa. I wish Jackie and everyone the best with the next round of WORKOUT!

Best of luck Zen!

One of the big aspects of Jackie Warner’s Workout Season 3 is the launch of her new clothing line.  Originally conceived in season one as the “LIFT” line it quickly disappeared.  It re-emerged in season two as Sky Lab by Jackie Warner.

A Workout season two episode is devoted to Jackie working with her clothing designers and approaching executives at Paiva to distribute the Jackie Warner clothing line in their stores.  Paiva started selling Jackie Warner’s apparel line shortly after.

The Problem With Jackie Warner & Paiva
A visit to the Paiva website tells the story here.  Seems upscale women’s clothing retailer Paiva, a subsidiary of FinshLine, is game over.  Here’s an excerpt from a March 2008 Indianapolis Business Journal article quoting a business analyst:

“Finish Line certainly has its challenges,” he said. He noted that Paiva, a 15-store chain for upscale women the company launched in 2006, failed to take off and was shuttered last summer. 

Jackie Warner’s Clothing Line Goes It Alone
Now Jackie’s clothing line is up to bat for the third time sold via the Skysport and Spa Store.

Will the exposure from the Bravo T.V. show, Jackie Warner’s growing celebrity and the soon to be released nutrition supplements and DVD’s help move the merchandise?

We’ll have to wait and see.  Especially in an increasingly recession driven, price sensitive market that’s facing competition from comparable, stylish women’s fitness apparel sold for less, it may be tough going.

What do you think?

Jackie Warner, owner of Sky Sport Spa and star of Bravo’s reality show Workout was recently interviewed by Fox news.  

Here’s the scoop on her own diet and nutrition tips:

It’s so tough to start a diet and fitness routine. How do you suggest people begin?

The first thing you need to do is sit down, have a conversation with yourself, figure out what all of your can’t-resist foods are and throw them all away. That’s what I do. We’re a gluttonous society. If cookies are our weakness, we’re not going to eat two cookies and stop. We’re going to eat until the bag is gone.

So get rid of your can’t-resist foods because it’s much harder in the middle of the night to get dressed, get in your car and go out and buy a bag of cookies than it is to go in your cupboard and get a bag. If you have to leave your house to cheat, you’re not going to do it. It requires too much effort.

What are the best foods to eat?

I’m big on label reading. I do grocery shopping tours to help people learn exactly what to eat. My thing is, I don’t look at fat. I don’t look at carbs. I look at calories: nothing over 400 calories and nine grams of sugar for meals. For snacks, I say no more than 150 calories. That works out to 1,500 calories a day, which is about what the average woman should have.
