Work Out star Jackie Warner has become a household face in the course of three weeks. Last week's episode featured an incredibly frank discussion of her sexuality with her visiting (disapproving) mom that got people all over the place talking. It was real and raw, kinda like Jackie!

Bravo Superstars compare notes!
HEY JACKIE!
Hey Andy!
WHERE ARE YOU?
Driving to spin class!

Great interview, Andy! I have fallen in love with this show since the first episode. The mix of trainers/personalities is outstanding. Jackie is truly a person to be respected and admired in all walks of life. She's driven, beautiful and truly cares about those in her life, including clients. They are not just another dollar in her pocket and that is a wonderful sight!

You never disappoint, Andy! I'm hooked on Jackie and her show! She carries herself with alot of dignity, seems to be tough in the right places and has an amazing attitude. I look forward to the rest of the season.
Thanks for the Q&A! You're right on time, as usual! :-)

first of all thank you for the show. i love it. and i love the thought that there is a lesbian show on tv. i love watching how strong of a woman that she is. she makes me want to be a better person as far as getting into shape. so once again thank you for the show.
and by the way she could do so much better than mimi. but dont say the age has anything to do with it cause im 27 and my girl is 43 and trust me not all of us young ones act the way mimi acts.

I would have to say that Jackie Warner is an excellent trainer plus her episodes are amazing because I learn how to become fit and eat right without the hassle. I hope that she doesn't fire Jesse in the next episode because it was Brian's fault for messing up her bed and breaking her vase.

Andy, This was a great interview. I think that issues this show addresses are not just about "working out" and looking hot. I think the inter-personal relationships like, disaproving mom with her daughter, couples & co workers is full of real life dynamics. It is not as staged as SURVIVOR, AMAZING RACE or that horrendous show BB7? or is it BB207 by now.

Thank you Bravo for such a great show. I love watching the diverse clientele trying so hard to improve themselves and the staff giving good honest encouragement to them. Jackie's relationship is just about being a lesbian but being in a any difficult relationship. This an inspiring show.

I am not a fitness buff. The Hollywood thing also leaves me kind of cold. So, how on earth did I become a fan of this show? Opps, I was surfing, and came upon the episode with Jackies mom. I was intrigued by her mother's attempts to reconcile her beliefs with Jackies sexuality. As the mother of adult children, I understand that who your kids are isn't always what you'd want for them. It was Jackie, herself, however, that "got me". She's surrounded by some pretty superficial people, and yet she's totally real.What a lovely young woman. I do hope that she is able to kick Mimi to the curb. Mimi is a problem child...Emphasis on the child. Mimi may turn out to be a great woman, but she isn't there yet.
Good luck to Jackie, in all her endeavors.

I'm not really a fan of "reality tv" and I flipped on this show by accident, but now I like it. I think Jackie is a hottie, but sorry she's on the other team! I think many people can identify with the mother episode. When you get to a certain point in your life, dealing with your parents is almost like dealing with a child. You know they want the best for you, but they just don't get your life. the girlfriend's nuts and I'd fire those JOffs for coming into my house and busting the place up!! I thought that woman in Colorado where Jackie went for the training session was playing her! trying to see if she'd go for the bait and then pull a "Oh, I didn't mean I like you like that!" Anyway, love the show, best regards to Jackie ! Ed

Jackie pay NO ATTENTION to anyone who says you can do better than Mimi. im a 25 year old lesbian who would LOVE to have a girl that spirited. i think Mimi is perfect for you, and i think even though a girl like that can seem to be 'too much', that fire and passion is something all of us secretly want. i LOVE MIMI. and you too.

To see someone on tv who has to deal with the same stress as I do about being a lesbian is such a weight off. Seeing how Jackie reacted to her mother's disaproval and to see how her mother still loves her daughter gives me hope for my mother. Thank you.

Actually, I'm hetero/straight and my male significant other and I both bite and neither one of us is from South America and neither one of is Hispanic. Love bites are normal and sometimes humorous. Liked the episode with Jackie's Mother trying to deal with her sexual orientation and Jackie's remarks that her Mother would rather see her miserable than in a gay relationship. Her Mother needs to adapt, religious or not. Some consider me religious and I find nothing wrong with homosexuality. Some people are just born that way and they can't change who and what they are because it's part of their identity. Hope Jackie and Mimi keep trying because the fiery relationship might just be worth it in the end. Will watch more of the show because it's also inspiring me to start working out again to regain the great body I once had and the great sense of well being that kind of physical health gave me.

Hey Jackie,
Your show has been the jump start I needed. In the last 5 yrs I have managed to quit being a gym rat, gain 30lbs and basically become a couch potato. I turned 40 in april and decided it was time to change this thing around. I haven't been too successful, but in the last few weeks after watching your show and feeding off that energy, it has made me hit the gym hard and really work on my goals. Thanks for the inspiration. your kick ass!Gregg

I'm a divorcee' in Beverly Hills and have 2 daughters that are 25 and 30. We all love the show and have "girl crushes" on Jackie. Regarding Mom and Mimi and the disagreeable dinner party; No one can choose with whom to fall in love. No one should tell you that you ought not love your mother if you do. It was unfortunate that Jackie's Mom got "ganged up on". I believe that she coped gracefully and
still believe in the old adage..."Never discuss politics or religion at a dinner party." I don't agree with the mother's position, but there is no an excuse for bad manners.
I have recently divorced after 25 years of marriage...to a Rock Star. I'm thinking that I might like to be gay. Jackie is absolutely fabulous. We love Jackie ! Workout RULES !!!
We love Doug. Doug Rocks !

"Workout" is great! Being a bodybuilder, personal trainer, and a lesbian I completely have been looking for a show like this! Jackie's passion for fitness shows through in everything that she does! All of my clients now watch "workout" because it gives them the added motivation to never give up! Are there by chance any upcoming plans to have addtional fitness educators on the show? That would be an amazing experience.

Hey Jackie, I love love your show, but let me tell you how I fell about mimi. Mimi is a very nice and beautiful girl just right for you, she behaves like a child sometimes, but she is young at least younger than you so, do not expect her to be like you, I think you can teach her little details about how can you be succeed togheter, I love you togheter and she is a very beautiful girl, in fact I would like to see her in a dress a sexy dress, you look great as you have shown.

I've only watched the last two episodes of "Workout" and I am hooked! Jackie, you almost have it all, beauty, brains and success. What your lacking is love. You say you arent ready to give up on a 4 yr relationship and that's understandable, however, my personal belief is if there isn't a mutual love and respect for one another it will never work. If someone ever disrepected me like Mimi does you, I'd be in jail. I don't know how much of her personality is staged, but if she is for real and you don't remove her from your life, you will never find total happiness. She may be young but there's no excuse for that kind of behavior. She is clearly not the girl for you. That chick is vicious and doesn't deserve you. Sure it will hurt for awhile, but you will survive and I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how fast your broken heart mends. Your soul mate is out there, don't waste your precious time with Vampira! Life is too short. Best of luck...

WORKOUT is a wonderful show. I've watched every episode and anxiously await the last of the season. Jackie has developed into the trainer of my dreams! Her belief in clients and her ability to develop activities that get results are amazing! I look forward to watching clients develop their goals! Its fun to see a strong, confidant woman who is also healthy, stlylish and still has a sense of humor. Jackie will be very successful. The show has just the right amount of drama to keep me anticipating the next one. Thank you Bravo. You continue your reputation with excellent shows.

I love the show and Jackie is awesome. I am always battling the pounds and have lost over 100 pounds over 4 years -- but I have put some back on. Watching this show even with all the drama is great. Because Jackie is very inspiring and I have a renewed attitude toward achieving my goal. If I had the money, I would fly to LA for training in her gym. Thank you, Jackie! In addition, on a side note -- you can do much better than Mimi and you deserve better. Thank you -- Sincerely, Alex

I appreciate a seeing a strong, sexy gay woman on a weekly "reality" series.
Would love to see more of the actual "workout" and less of the disfunctional
relationship that these two are in.

Jackie rocks! I thoroughly enjoy watching Workout and have gotten really nice tips on fitness and exercise. Jackie is a woman with a strong determination to make her company the best it can be.
I believe Jackie should be in a relationship with someone who understands what her goals are and supports her. She needs someone who is comfortable in her own skin and has similar goals. Although Mimi is a cutie and Jackie loves her, her temper tantrums and immaturity show she's a woman who is very insecure. Watching Jackie and Mimi interact is like watching a mother reprimand her daughter for something she’s done wrong. Mimi needs to grow up!
I wish Jackie all the best in her future relationships . . . personal and business.

Jackie, From the way the edit is done on the show with regards to you and Mimi, it really makes you both appear to be loosers when it comes to your personal relationships. I can't understand why anyone would put up with public ridicule, which both of you dish out. It doesn't look healthy at all. Good Luck to finding some peace in your relationship. Perhaps some counseling if you insist on staying together. It is really sad to watch.

Anyway the shows are great and I love Jackie & look forward to seeing her more. Does she have her own line of clothing for the spa & if so how can we purchase any?

I really respect Jackie, I didnt like the fact that she went out on dates while her and Mimi were on a break, I can see why Mimi got upset but that doesn't give her the right to bite her, but then again shes immature and doesnt know how to handle stress or something, my GF used to do the same thing, maybe it is a latina thing because shes latina and Mimi is brasilian ,but i've had many latina girlfriends and this is the first one that bites so nah, Mimi and my GF are just fiery personalites, I will admit that I know where my GF is at all times and she always wants to be with me and can be very jealous although she dont think she is, I've had other GF's that didnt bite, etc but they would cheat left and right,. my point is no one is perfect, as long as there's not any physical stuff going on, my GF would always apologize at the end and through patience and understanding and not getting too mad, she has stopped this altogether.. Her aunt is the same way very jealous . The thing I didnt like about Jackie was being on a break means just staying away from eachother to think about how you two can get along better and hopefully miss eachother but not going outside of the relationship............ I dont care who you are with you are going to have problems........... There is a definite age difference between these two and Jackie has to understand you pick very young girls to date then suffer the consequences, they will most likely not be able to communicate the same way you would want them to , I know because im involved in the same situation so through months I've learned not to get upset when she acts immature and remember its her age, and realize we will both communicate different at times, when she gets upset Ive learned to leave her alone until she cools off and she does, but if you keep pushing then she will act like Mimi....I really do wish happiness for the both of them, I think they can work things out hopefully with counseling and with love and respect, but they are both obviously in pain and resentful about things.. I guess shes single now I dont know, I saw it on her my space so oh well, I wish the best for both of them. =)
