The season opening
Jackie chooses 6 people for a test run of her new business, Skylab, a nutrition and fitness program geared towards obese clients, and trains comedian Kathy Griffin. She ends her relationship with Mimi, and has a flirtation with Rebecca. Two of the trainers, Doug and Jesse, help friends through cancer.
"..It is Mimi who is "this shows dragon lady. A stunningly twisted personality even for reality TV". [4]
"In the pilot episode, Warner was a bit self-conscious and stiff. But as time goes on she learns to loosen up and live with the constant presence of the cameras, and her story and drama unfold more naturally as the show becomes increasingly riveting." [5]
- Rebecca Cardon, a former contestant of the reality series The Amazing Race (season 6), is a personal trainer at the gym. In episode 3, she can be seen training Victoria Fuller, also of Amazing Race fame.
- Doug Blasdell, one of two openly gay male trainers working for Jackie on the show passed away in January of 2007.[6]
