The Biggest Loser USA

Bob Harper is 50, but you’d never know just by looking at the personal trainer to the stars. He’s returning to TV with the 15th season of The Biggest Loser USA (2004-current), where for the first time in the show’s history the trainers had a say in who joined as contestants. And it seems that Bob is all about gymming…

He’s the first to admit that he gets cranky if he hasn’t worked out at least six times a week. And his No.1 rule while working out? Chew gum – it stops you from throwing up. Although Bob only came out to the world in 2013, his family knew when he was 17. He’s actually going to address it this season when he helps one of the contestants with coming out. Bob has his own trainer and if fans of Biggest Loser think that Bob is hectic, we haven’t seen anything yet! “He kills me!” Bob says, although he’s keeping his trainer’s identity a secret. Maybe he doesn’t want to lose any of his own clients… He loves spoiling himself and he travels to Paris, France regularly. He’s also a member of the famous New York Times Wine Club, loves riding his motorcycles and admits to being addicted to social media platform Instagram. “I have to have a camera with me at all times to post photos,” he laughs. He’s a former vegetarian and in 2010 was voted the Sexiest Vegetarian in the world by PETA (People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals). “I still believe that a plant-based diet has tremendous health benefits,” Bob says, “but I’ve incorporated more animal protein into my diet. I found that my body got to a point where I needed something more.”
