Jillian Michaels is mainly known for her appearance as a trainer in The Biggest Loser TV-show.  Even though Jillian became famous through the biggest loser, she is more than just a personal trainer.  The world-famous personal trainer is also a bestselling author, business woman and one of the leading experts on health and wellness.

Michaels started her own website in order to help and educate people who struggle with their weight.  Her website has over 1.6 million monthly visitors, making her one of the most popular personal trainers on the web.  The reason for her massive success is that people can relate to Jillian as a trainer.  She used to struggle with overweight and battled her way to becoming an example for everyone hoping to lose their excess pounds.

Jillian started to develop a passion for fitness during her 17 years of martial arts practice, this lead to her obtaining a black belt in Muay Thai and Akarui-Do.  In 1993, Michaels obtained two personal training certificates, the National Exercise & Sports Trainers Association (NESTA) and the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA).  Next to exercise, Michaels is also specialized in nutrition and wellness and holds a certificate with the American Fitness Professionals and Associates (AFPA). Following her success on The Biggest Loser, Michaels released several books, DVDs and even videogames.  She is now best known for her fitness videos, which are very popular with people who like to exercise at home and achieve maximum weight loss.  Jillian’s DVDs are one of the bestselling fitness DVDs in the world.

Jillian currently lives in Los Angeles with her partner Heidi Rhoades, a yoga instructor.  The couple has two children, Phoenix Michaels Rhoades and Lukensia Michaels Rhoades.  Michaels had to hide her sexuality for years, since The Biggest Loser was not sure how the public would react to her being a lesbian, but no matter what the world has thrown at her, she has always come out as a winner.
