The first season of Work Out was awesome and in case you missed it, it is available on iTunes. Now, the new season of Work Out, season 2, is here and it looks even more interesting.
Every few months Jackie Warner, the owner of Sky Sport & Spa in Beverly Hills, assembles her group of hard-bodied professional trainers for what she calls “Beach Boot Camp.”
It’s a way for the team to bond, stay in shape and show off some new exercises.
But at the beginning of season two of Work Out – the sexy reality series that follows Jackie and her team inside and outside the gym – the exhausted trainers phone it in.
That doesn’t cut it in Jackie’s world!
The 38-year-old fitness mogul gets in their faces, calling last season’s breakout star, the eccentric trainer Jesse, “pudgy,” while refereeing spats between feuding staffers and making sure that a one-time romance between trainers Zen and Gregg doesn’t tear the team apart.
In the buffed-up second season of Work Out, even hard-charging Jackie is not immune to the drama. She is quickly forced to deal with her own topsy-turvy love life, as she gives one last shot at fixing her troubled relationship with Mimi, her combustible and violent girlfriend of five years.
“Last season’s show relied heavily on my relationship with my ex, and that tended to be a little negative,” Warner tells Star magazine. That problem, however, is quickly solved. (Hint: Couples therapy does not work.)
“This season will be sexier,” reveals Jackie. In other words, Jackie’s back on the prowl! “I’m dating casually – I’m not looking for love -just for a woman who’s secure with who she is,” she says.
But it’s not all casual love and leg lifts at Sky Sport in season two. “We deal with a lot of real-life issues,” Jackie says. Most notably, the cast was dealt a huge blow by the sudden death of beloved trainer Doug Blasdell.
Thankfully, early in the season Doug’s relationship with his ill ex-partner is predominantly featured and viewers get to see a complete picture of who he was. While Doug’s death is shocking, Warner and her staff find a way to keep going.
Jackie not only continues to whip her ultrarich clients (including comedian Kathy Griffin) into shape, but this season the Ohio native also deals with the stress of expanding her empire with a clothing line and the launch of a new venture called Skylab, a two-week-long camp in Sonoma County focusing on overweight clients with poor body images.
After that, her biggest challenge seems to be keeping her temperamental team together -just not too together!
“Some of them get along too well and get mixed up in messy relationships,” she says. “Last season we were all more aware of the cameras. This year it’s extremely real and raw!”
