JD Jordan
JD is a tall, dark and handsome Los Angeles native. He's been a
masseur to many of Hollywood's leading artists and now wants to take
his newfound passion for personal training to the next level. He's
looking to Jackie to take him under her wing and show him what it takes
to be a top trainer in a very competitive world. He is currently
working on his Pilates certification.
In JD's personal life, he's looking for an intelligent, masculine
guy that will rock his world and says he's sick of choosing men that
need to be saved. JD wears his heart on his sleeve, and too often
that's what gets him in trouble.

Jesse Brune
Originally from Seattle, Washington, Jesse is a "two-punch" talent
as a certified fitness trainer and a recent graduate of the prestigious
Cordon Bleu Culinary School. Jesse's interest in cooking started at a
young age and his newfound talent was not lost on his family members.
His working mom assigned Jesse the task of cooking healthy meals for
his family and that is where his love of wholesome cuisine began.
When he turned 19, Jesse came to Los Angeles and quickly signed
with talent representation to start building his career as an actor. In
the meantime, he waited tables and started working at the front desk
for a boot camp-style training business. Jesse was inspired by the
results, both physical and emotional, that the clients received and
wanted to be a part of those transformations. Soon he became a
certified trainer and began teaching his own classes and the rest is
history.
Now Jesse is incorporating his love for the culinary arts with his
love for training and fitness. This season he's ready to take his work
to the next level and teach his clients how to lose weight the healthy
way. Jesse is also recently clean and sober. He felt as though his life
had gotten out of control and that he was being hypocritical as a
trainer living such an unhealthy lifestyle. He's lost more than 20
pounds and has a new boyfriend, and says he's never been happier. He
has become the voice of reason at Sky Sport & Spa with his uncanny
ability to tell people how it is without offending.

Rebecca Cardon
Rebecca was born into a fitness loving family in Virginia Beach,
Virginia. Her mom practices yoga and runs marathons and her father is a
competitive weight lifter. Her father started taking her to the gym
with him when she was five years old and little Rebecca would do
pull-ups while he said: "One more and I'll get you a candy bar." Today,
she can still do 20 pull-ups and both father and daughter hold world
records in bench pressing.
Rebecca was a broadcasting major at George Mason University in
Washington, DC. After moving to Los Angeles, she initially took acting
classes, but eventually transitioned to fitness and has been training
clients for four years. She also placed third as a competitor on Emmy
Award-winning series The Amazing Race.
Along with personal training, Rebecca is exploring the world of
television hosting. She is currently the spokesperson for the "Bun and
Thigh Track" and "The Bean," both state of the art fitness products.
As for her love life, Rebecca is struggling in the status quo
after her semi-relationship with Jackie ended. She may be jealous of
Jackie's new girlfriend or just a little sad because she's lost
Jackie's time and attention. Whatever the case may be, Rebecca is
determined to regain as much of Jackie's time as she can.

Renessa williams
This bubbly South Dakotan is all smiles. As a single mom of an
11-year-old, she is looking for the right guy. She's trained alongside

jeopardy with her new boss, Jackie.
Renessa is fitting in well at Sky Sport & Spa. Her
fearlessness and drive have paid off with her clients, who find her to
be a humorous and positive role model in the fitness world. Her
outdoorsy attitude would rival most adventurers, and she has a knack
for learning new things, whether it's the guitar or dancing.
Renessa has also worked with renowned health and wellness expert,
Mike Torchia, who has trained celebrities like Matt Damon, Al Pacino
and Kevin Spacey, among others.

in Hawaii. After obtaining an extensive education and certifications

Brian Peeler
Brian uses his southern charm inside and outside the gym. Born and
raised in the small town of Salisbury, North Carolina, he was labeled
as a jock in his youth. Whether it was football, baseball or any other
physical sport, Brian never shied away from the challenge. Brian is
passionate about serving as a mentor and teacher to people who can
benefit from an extra push in physical fitness.
Brian still thinks he's the best trainer at Sky Sport & Spa
and also the best looking. He considers himself the big man on campus.
Will that change with the addition of Greg Plitt? Brian continues to
heal after losing his good friend, Doug Blasdell last year and his
antagonistic relationship with his boss, Jackie, this season.

Erika Jacobson
A career in the entertainment industry as a junior publicist might
not be the typical way to break into the fitness field, but this is how
Erika got her start. When the corporate executives she worked with
found out she was also a trainer at the local YMCA, they flocked to her
for help with their fitness regimen. Erika soon realized that career
training was her true calling and threw in the towel on public
relations. Erika holds a degree from the University of Southern
California and loves boxing as a way to stay in shape and continually
challenge herself.
In the department of love, Erika is still looking for "the one".
She says her clock is ticking and she wants to settle down and start a
family. She must wrestle her demons in order to find the stability in
her life she so desperately craves.

Greg Plitt
The former Army Ranger, All-American Wrestler, and Master Fitness
Trainer grew up in Baltimore Maryland. Aside from his rock-hard abs and
successful fitness career, Greg has been involved in a number of
different activities throughout his life. This jack of all trades is
certified in scuba, airborne, air assault, combat lifesaver and
hand-to-hand combat. He's a sponsored athlete with MET-Rx Nutrition and
is currently the spokesperson for the Under Armour performance apparel.
Greg's career in the fitness profession began when he was
approached in Washington, D.C. to do a cover for Muscle and Fitness
Magazine where he was inspired to continue on the road of fitness and
training.
Greg's abs of steel have adorned more than 50 fitness magazine
covers and he considers himself somewhat of a celebrity in the field.
His body will have the male trainers envious and the female trainers
salivating. His mere presence will heat up the gym as he is determined
to stir things up at Sky Sport & Spa.

Greg Butler
Gregg Butler was born and raised in Solon, Ohio a suburb east of
Cleveland. At a young age Gregg was a regionally recognized track
athlete while simultaneously working as a musician, earning a name as
one of the Midwest's best new talent. As a teenager, he became a youth
fitness instructor at a local gym, entering training at only 17 years
old. As Gregg moved from the track to the gym, he got involved in power
lifting and provisionally set a squat record of 715 lbs under the
tutelage of Kevin Hill. After attending Miami University in Oxford, OH
on a full track scholarship, Gregg moved to Los Angeles to continue to
pursue his goals. While making leaps and bounds in the music industry,
Gregg always kept his foot in the fitness world.
These days Gregg has been playing keyboards more than ever and
says that his life consists of full-time music and training. He is
devoting as much time as possible to helping people consider and pursue
a passion for their own bodies. He himself has lost almost 30 pounds
since last season and he doesn't have that "power lifter" build like he
used to. He's been eating lean and running.
Gregg's personality in the gym continues to be peaceful and
patient, understanding that the gym is cathartic, therapeutic and life
changing for his clients and not just another quick fix. However, he's
in for a surprise when he is faced with having to deal with an
extremely challenging Skylab client in this upcoming season.
