your show was great. too many things to respond to. i am not a reality show junkie, but despite that, yours made my list. i would give anything to have the benefit of your program, as it's sensible and healthy. brian peeler is a great young man and i would kill to work with him if it matters. in my dreams he would help me get back to where i should be.

best regards. debra

As a gay business owner, I just want to say thank you for showing the world that gay people are so much more than how we are stereotyped on television and film.
I have been a fan of your show since the beginning and the loss of Doug has given me a good cry tonight and really caused me to think about what is truly important in my life....my friends/family, my health, and my business.
I applaud you for efforts and wish you the very best!

To Jackie and all of the other special angels -er-trainers,
Not only did Doug "bring a special light and energy to SkySport", but to the whole wide world. When Peeler shared with Doug's companion about the humingbird, I had a similar
experience when my Mother passed from cancer last summer. Life continues, just on another continuum. I think I'm one of
the last to blog from last week's blog. Thank you for sharing
this experience with us all. I'm a hairstylist in Fairfield, Ohio
(I guess you could say I'm cut from the same cloth as you,
Jackie as far as the midwest influencing our work ethics and
giving spirit!). I can't wait to meet when I move back to Cali.,
and would love to train as a client! You are all Great! Bravo!

jackie, just wondered what has become of mimi? do u speak to her at all, or was it best to just cut it off and leave it alone?
I that's always best, atleast at first.
about doug's passing, tragedy, and i feel for you all, it's no good losing someone so young. just lost a friend and co-worker last week, only 35, way too young.
love the new clothing line, not that i'm working out these days, being kind of lazy, but i'll get back into it at some point.
anyhow, just wanted to send u some love, one lesbian to another and glad to see your success broadcast to a good sized audience, we need all the positive references out there that we can get. keep up the good work.

Keep up the good work and PLEASE HONEY don't jump into a relationship to fast. Take it from an old fool---lol.
Your clothing line will be a success as we all know. Just hope you keep us posted as to where we might find the clothing line and meet YOU.
I will surely be having withdrawell now that the season is over, but never fear. They had a Workout marathon on Bravo so I taped every show, so now I can watch when I want.
Congrat's with the skylabber's. Great job to all of you guy's as well as the skylabber's. They really put it out there as did all the trainers. GREAT JOB ALL.
The tribute to Doug was so very touching. Ireally think he knew in his heart how much he was loved by you guy's as well as all of us.

Jackie--the show is great. I'm happy that you are on the road to making better personal choices. Who hasn't stayed in an unhealthy relationship for too long. We all come to this new awareness, when we realize that we do have the strength to do what is best for ourselves. I call this point of life 'the freedom years.' It is freeing and satisfying to gain this new control of our lives. Like you tell your clients you have to make yourself a priority...love shouldn't be that hard.
Your positive attitude is an inspiration to me in many areas of my life. thank you.

On another note, will you consider making a tee shirt that commemorate Doug--maybe with the principles by which he lived his life. The profits could be donated to his charity. He touched so many lives that he never knew about--some of us never blogged before!

Jackie,
You have handled this whole season graciously and with honor. Not only with Doug’s passing but also with your own personnel growth. I was fortunate to be the one who ran the AV at the memorial that was held for Doug on the Universal Studios lot in Stage 6. While being thanked for my work I told them that I was honored to do this for such a person. I also said to the attendees of the memorial and to people which watch your show is that Doug struck me from the presentation at the memorial and from conversations with people is that Doug was a person who has ‘left more impressions than marks in his life! We should all be such a person.
Wishing you the Best of in everything.

I forgot to mention, I'm a graphic and fashion designer and i'd like to move forward with my men swimwear line, which is stopped for 2 years because of a non reliable source of production.
You can send me a direct email, if you don't want to post this.

I don't mind if the trainers don't get to finish, but I have to ask a question. Hopefully someone can answer. I know the best reasons to get in shape, and I need to desparately, however if I don't have the money to be accountable to a trainer, how can I be accountable to my own worst enemy, myself. I was treated very bad by my peers when I was only overweight, but as their outright physical abuse turned emotional, I learned to hate my body...if I hate this body and I couldn't enjoy being active how can I just be accountable to myself? I really don't excpect an answer, but I wanted to try. (And yes I've been to treatment and no it hasn't helped one iota with my body hatered)

Dear Jackie,
I want to THANK YOU for showing some of the brightest moments in reality TV. And at the same time dealing with the sudden death of your loving friend and co-worker, Doug Blasdell.
I've been so moved by emotions on several ocassions these past two seasons, I just had to write.
THANK YOU Jackie for sharing with us the pain, the joy, the heartache, but most of all yourself.
I've admired your stamina in dealing with your mother accepting you as her gay daughter. Your therapy sessions concerning your relationships and particularly your trip home
have touched me. I so enjoyed seeing you and Rebecca sharing happy times together.
Also moved by your clients successes & motivations and your attacking their root causes/issues/eating habits.
Some people eat, I don't when there's a problem.
I'm 6 ft tall and 155 lbs, but lacking muscletone. I've been skinny since my early teenage years. Haven't really had a date in too long. Need to get my butt in gear.
Would appreciate more info on eating & shopping for healthy food/healthy living.

The episode where Jackie visits her dad was so endearing. I'm so glad the show revealed how her father's death has affected her. It's like she trusts us ,the viewing audience and lets us in. It makes her so real and not another tv personality. I see where she got her good looks, her dad was handsome. Love the show.

I have watched the show from the start. I have never got into the “realty thing” before, but Jackie’s experiences and how she has worked through them, and especially how she has been able to be honest and not just a shoe boat for rating (which I understand is a large component of it all), has been refreshing and a learning experience for me. She is so brave to just put it all out there, it is wondrous, and if I wore a hat, it would go off to her.

Like I said, I may just be ultra emotional tonight and it happened to coincide with the season finally, but with that said, I wanted to thank Jackie and all involved for putting it out there really, not just making reality TV.

I am so happy for her that everything is going well and she is becoming more happy. It is so sad to learn that Doug is gone. I could not stop crying when I saw Brian started crying on the show. I had found out the bad news before hands, but it still hit me hard. Although I don't know anyone on the show, it is still so emotional for me. Life is never easy, but that's how it shapes all of us. Often we can't have what we want the most and everything we want in this world. We have to appreciate what we have now. Tell your love ones that you love them each day is the most important thing. Like Jackie said, "you" are the most important to yourself. Thank you for such a great season!

Jackie - I am so addicted to your show. I am starting back into the workout routine because I have had a lot of weight gain over the last five years. It started when I got married - I gained the infamous marriage weight. Our marriage didn't work out and I moved 1500 miles away from any family or friends. All of these changes tacked on a lot more weight. I was stressed, depressed, drinking alcohol and eating comfort food. Here I am, three years later from the beginning of these changes, and I am ready to make a different change.

I started keeping a blog so that my family and friends could watch my progress. I worked out extremely well for a good, solid three or so months. But then I came down with a horrible virus and, immediately following that, my Step-Grandmother (who I was very close with) died...somewhat unexpectedly. I had already lost 20 lbs from my workouts and eating better (as well as cutting out the 3 or more diet cokes a day). The sickness made me thinner as did my depression about my Grandmother.

Shortly after I returned home from the funeral, the weight came back. I fell off of the wagon for a good two months or more. But now I am back. I am on my second week of going to the gym. I am taking classes this time so that I have someone motivating me and showing me moves for my body that I didn't know before. I am taking step, kickboxing and several different toning classes throughout the week. I am keeping my blog again and I am eating right. I feel great.

I wanted to let you know what an influence you are to me. I remember the episode with your SkyBar Club when you were doing the bootcamp. That one girl (can't remember her name at the moment) was in plank position with everyone else. She kept "failing" towards the end of your countdown. You mentioned how that really shows weakness - mentally. You said that those last counts are the most important.

I was in class today and I was pretty worn out toward the end of the hour and a half. Our instructor had us do the plank. I was shaking all over and wanted so badly to just lay down! But I remembered what you said and I stuck it out for those last counts. I was exhausted but it felt great! I thank you for that!

Your show is not only educational and motivational - it is inspirational! Thank you for following your dreams and making this a reality. I wish I lived closer to your club so that I may be a part of the energy that exists there! But, since I am here in Arizona, I will continue to visit your club on Bravo.

I am sorry about your loss - Doug seemed like a terrific individual. Please keep up the great energy and the wonderful things you are doing for others. Those that enjoy your company outside of the TV box are very lucky individuals!

I loved the memorial to Doug on tonight Finale. I believe in kindness and he showed so much of it on the show. I'm sorry for his short time here on earth and with those who loved him.
On to another subject. I caught a promo for the next episode, next Tuesday. I assume it's a wrap up. Anyway, the thing that "floored" me was Jesse's announcment that Rebecca's main interest in Jackie was "more televised time". I cannot imagine saying such a thing about my boss and whomever they are dating in front of my boss! As a lesbian I have many gay male friends and I'd take it badly if one suggested the only reason a woman was dating me was for an advantage to her personal/professional life....but Jackie is Jesse's employer so if that clip was right and he did suggest such a thing I hope Jackie AND Rebecca both make it clear that saying such things (not to mention on a televised show) is completely off-limits and unacceptable.
This is my first comment on the show but Doug's passing and the comment by Jesse were enough to make me post.
God Bless Doug Blasdell.

Hello Jackie,

Please don't worry about not having your comments ready. Dear Lord, where would you begin to comment on this amazing episode? I would not know where to start... but let's face it, the show speaks for itself this week. My partner and I are still talking about what happened 2 hours later. The past couple of episodes are some of the most powerful reality I have ever seen on television. Whether gay, straight or anything else, you showed us we are NOT defined by sexual orientation... we are ALL people with feelings, passions, fears and triumph. Most of all, we are about the connection we have with one another... and how amazing "Workout" preseted this in such an entertaining, yet sensitive way is nothing short of remarkable. We learned valuable lessons right along with you... and how great is it that because of the season, we all know of Doug Blasdell and who he was.

More than ever, it is Brian who emerged as the powerful presence. A while back I wrote to tell you how remarkable he was. I know that you now fully realize his worth and value and how essential he is to SkySport and YOUR success. (Did you have your dinner with him, yet?).... but having said that, each of the trainers are amazing in their own way.

I wanted you to know that even though the season has come to an end, you have made a lot of friends out here in Bravo TV land. We love and appreciate the show and what you guys were so brave to share with us. You have made so many think about their own lives and what is important and valuable in this life. Thanks Jackie!

Dealing with the all-2-soon passing of Doug only shows the World that losing someone affects everyone the same..regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation or financial status...LOVE KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES!!

Great show! Loved the beach memorial time for Doug! You can see how deeply saddened the staff are and how much Doug is missed. He was a truly GIVING man and so kind!
Congrats on finding a good clothing manufacturer in Donna! The debut looked great! You really seem to have things going in a positive direction! Becareful of getting tied down with R, really see that more as opportunistic vs "real"! Too immature too! Dating staff is never proper and is going to continue to "disconnect" you from the rest of your staff...it already has some! You use to be close and fun with all of them! Just stop and think girl.....there's alot of truly "Gay" women out there that would love to be with you for all the right reasons! :)

Blog or no blog, I just want to say a big Mahalos for having this show in the first place. You deal with real people who have real issues. You've inspired me to make some serious changes in my life. I'm a single mother to four kids ages 14 yo and under. Typically my life is quite stressful, but thru your show I've made myself a priorty. I'm now being accountable for my behavior, whether it be the food I eat or the amount of excercise I get-excuses only get you so far. Thank you so much for keeping it real!!!!!!

Hi Jackie,
This was such a great episode, I never cried as much but I cleaned out my sinuses. It was nice that you hit on everything that happened through this past season and got us all caught up on everything. It was so nice to see all of you sitting around the campfire and talking about Doug, he must know how much you all miss him. I felt for all of you but mostly for Brian, I hope he feels better about Doug now.
I hope you have a third season.
Love the show

Hello Jackie,
i love watching your show. you are so classy.
i have a question. i've had 3 c-sections, the last one over 12 yrs ago. last time i tried doing sit-ups i got a hernia on my c-section area. the doctor said i could not do strenuos excercise like sit-ups because that area of my stomach is weak. i need to know what other excercise besides sit-ups i can do to try to get my mid-section toned.

Hi Jackie,This past season has been heartbreaking with Doug passing,he I agree was a great asset to your business. And it is great to see he will have continued love from all his fans and friends. I am a 54 yr. old mother of 2 which are 35 and 32,our son is a health nut,and stays in great physical shape,he lives in Manhattan Beach Ca. I have been over weight for over 36 yrs. I am 5' 5" and weigh 245 lbs. I have a family history of heart disease,and I had a knee injury a year ago this July 2,2007,I haven't been able to exercise for that period of time,I am an active person for the most part,but,with this injury,I have gained at least 25 lbs. it is getting better at this point,and I began riding my bike yesterday and hopefully this will help strengthen my knee,I mow our grass with a push mower,and enjoy doing so,and have been unable to do so since last year. I was up to 10 miles a day walking before I injured my knee,and to have it all come to a sudden halt has been most discouraging..I want to be healthy once again,are there any suggestions for me? We have 4 seasons in my area and the winter seasons are very hard to go outside to exercise,but I have in the past done videos here at home,we are in a very tight income,and I am challenged with being able to buy the much needed fruits and vegetables ,I so related to the client with the injured knee,and it was so encouraging to see she has a goal in her life to become a trainer..if I were younger I too would love to be able to help others become weight conscientious.For now I just need to have constant encouragement,my husband is one that eats and eats and these past few years has hung on to some belly fat,but,not a lot,and otherwise he is quite healthy..I do suffer with high blood pressure,and I have done so many different eating challenges,and realize the importance of having a high per centage of fruits and vegetables..I am trying to keep myself focused on such things,and there are so many distractions..and there is not an answer for me other than knowing I am the reason for this weight and I truly would like to live to see our granddaughter(now 2 yrs. of age) grow up and become a mother as well..My father passed at the age of 45 and his mother the same age,so I have passed that age barrier..I want to be a healthy woman,and feel good about what I look like,I am at the point where I cannot wear my fat clothes,and I know that is just not acceptable..I feel so ugly and unattractive to my husband,even though he says I am beautiful ,I just don't feel it inside.. I feel ashamed to be around others ,I would just like to have that confidence back ,and I had a touch of it yesterday,knowing that I was able to ride my bike..I plan on continuing,and hopefully I will not reinjure my knee..and as far as going to the doctor,we have major medical insurance,and cannot afford all the expenses of tests and such,and so ,I am doing my best in treating this injury. I was walking/jogging on my treadmill when I injured my knee,and I had tried again the following day ,only to have the pain come back,and over the past year I continued to try to do some lunges,and exercise videos and only to have my knee swell,and give me pain when I tried to kneel,or bend it,but,now the swelling has been gone for a couple of months,and I now can kneel and bend without any pain,it is being on it for a period of time when the pain comes back now. So I am still pampering my knee until it does a complete healing,and with the injury I fear arthritis has set in ,so I do take a daily dose of naproxin..Thank you for hearing me out Jackie I just wanted to talk to someone that has great concern for health.

Dear Jackie,
I have been following the show for some time now and really wish I lived closer to be able to train with your amazing, compassionate, trainers. I am 26 and a mother of 2, in 2005 I was diagnosed with uterin cancer and it started to spread to my colen and intestines, I was in the best shape of my life and after my hysterectomy I was cancer free. The problem is I have no feeling from my navel down and it hurts to try to work out. I was hoping you had some tips that would help me regain feeling and some self-esteem. I understand you are very busy and I wish you well in all your adventures that life brings you. All My Luck-Thara

The last show was one of the best and I am sure the busy schedule Jackie leads can be forgiven. Watching the show, it struck me that Peeler made the most growth of all the trainers. I can recall when he was so homophobic. What a turn about he has done. It has made him a model for others to see that all human beings are valuable people. For Jackie, the episode with her Mom was the most moving for me. By the time my Mom passed away we had healed all our differences and truely loved each other. I had no regrets what-so-ever when she died. When Jackie said she fell in love with her Mom all over again, I know just how that feels. Doug's death goes to show that you never know when someone will leave us and to have peace and love restored makes grief and healing faster. I don't know if there are plans for more seasons. I find the show rivotting, and helpful for my own weight issues so I am hoping for more. Good luck to everyone. Thank you.

Don't worry we have things to do at times. I wanted to say that I am so happy that you and your mom were able to talk things out, you know Jackie taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase was a good thing you did. You know I feel that whatever you can do or dream you can Jackie, begin it because boldness has genius, power, and magic in it and Jackie you have boldness in you and that is a good thing if you able to used it well. Sorry about Doug he was and still is a great person I wish you the best in everything you do and remember if you have accomplished all that you have planned for yourself, you have not planned enough.

Jackie and Crew - Love the show beyond words. Jackie will you ever consider writing some sort book on "how to shop healthy" ?There is so much to know regarding healthy eating habits. I am one of those many many people that shop for easy quick fix meals. You have become someone that has captured a good portion of the nations attention to better living and I personally would be very interested in what you have to offer. You have a way of speaking to people that doesn't feel or seem so condescending. I realize that time is not really on your side right now, however, would you consider it sometime in the future?

I must say, BRAVO to Jackie for this show. Rising above other reality tv, this show has real people, with real hearts. I am learning every day through own personal growth and I see the strength and determination held by Jackie and her trainers. It is so refreshing to watch a show that strives to send a message of peace, love, and life's challenges. I am touched by the real, pure emotion that Jackie opens up to her audience as well as the trainers, Peeler especially. I admire the way in which the entire cast is reflecting upon the positives in Doug's life, and emphasizing what he did to help others. This show is really a positive step towards being a good influence on the television audience.

BRAVO! I am sad to see the show at it's finale and look forward to the next season... when is that? :)

Dear Mrs. Jackie,
I have battled bulemia for the past 4 years. What started out as a self-esteem issue has grown into an uncontrollable crutch that I can't seem to over come.

All through high school I was very active and love to be. When I am active and working out I am happier and feel that the bulemia is overcomable (if that's a word :) I just wanted to know if you had any tips or suggestions on things I could do - foods I could eat - that wouldn't make me feel so guilty and that would help me form a healthier lifestyle. I am turning 20 years old this month ( I know .. I am a young'n ) but I really want this to be a changing point for me. I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired.

I have been a fervent watcher of your show and just wanted you to know how much of an influence you have on people. I am at my lowest of lows and for some reason have developed a connection to you. I was very overweight myself and began to practice many of the things you teach on the show. I also once refused to go to counseling, but once I saw you there and realized that I needed to get over myself to help myself I started going. This all probally sounds strange. But what I really mean to say is THANK YOU for being a role-model for me!

I am so sad the season is over. I so looked foward to every show. I really admire you because you try to overcome your fears and accomplish your dreams. You consistanly except nothing but the best from yourself as well as others. You genuinly care about people. It was inspiring to watch such a super strong person grow so much more.

I am so sorry about Doug. He was my favorite. But you are very lucky to have known such a wonderful person. Your show has really touched me and changed my life. It has showed me about the kind of life I want to live and the kind of person I want my one year old daughter to be. Thank you.

P.S : You were so much better than Mimi and I cant wait to see how things will go with you and Becca. I hope I will find out next season........ I hope there will be a next season......

Jackie, I really admire you as a person. I got hooked to you and your trainers last season. I enjoy your show like no other. I am so, so glad that you have gotten all that drama out of your life. You are a sweet and genuine person. You didn't deserve that abuse emotionally, verbally, and definitely not physically. I know that you and Mimi was in a relationship for a while and of course your heart was in it but I love it that you have such a awesome support team around you. I miss Doug as well even though I never got to meet him. Watching that angelic spirit made it seem as though you knew him. He is watching over you all and please never forget that. It's been some time now since his passing when we as the viewers were informed but I hope that you and all of the trainers are doing okay. Thank you for letting us outsiders within your world. I wish that I lived in CA because I have weight issues and I do believe that if I had somebody like you or your trainers to encourage and push me I can definitely make some serious changes. Oh well I'm not in CA and I will continue to watch Sky Sport to see what is going on with you all and to try to stay encouraged. Good luck on your clothing line Jackie. I felt for you when you first got to look at the initial sample of clothing but your second set of samples are true winners....... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

First, I want to say that I love your show. Thank God for DVR that I am able to record your shows..so I don't miss any. I just finished watching the episode about Doug's passing (I send my prayers to you and all the trainers for strength.) I cried so much. I work as a New York City Fire Department/ EMS Rescue Paramedic in Harlem, I see alot. Death, abuse people do to themselves and to others, sometimes undescribeable things. We go through life thinking that will not happen to me or anyone I know..until it does. Though, I did not know Doug personally I felt you guys pain.
I'm 41 years old and try so hard on to gain weight but it happens..I work hard and at times too tired (personally, I know that's an excuse) to work out. I have decided to NYC's triathlon next year..I did my first one in Florida for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society..it was for a great cause and I was not it the best shape..boy!..did I pay for it.
After listening to you talk to Kiki about priorities I realized I also needed to listen to that advise.
Well..I hope that your clothing line becames the success that you want it to be ..Good Luck!

Hey girl. Just wanted to tell you that I have soo much respect for you. You are a fantastic person and the kind of person I'd love to get to know in person.
I know you're sick of hearing advice from people about your personal life, but I gotta tell you.. you are waaay too good for Rebecca. Stick with Tiff. Rebecca is a poser and a glutton for attention. I know girls exactly like her and can see the alterior motives at play there as clear as day. I'm surprised you even went for that honestly. Most of my lesbian friends can't stand her and those like her. You know, the ones who suddenly turn lesbian just for attention or because they think it's trendy. Sometimes others can see things better than we can especially when we're blinded by the passion of the moment. Jesse has Rebecca pegged perfectly. She is the one who's the drama queen and it's all about her. She just wanted the satisfaction of seeing if she could win over the star of the show. I never thought you'd go for it. But anyway, I won't tell you what to do... just please think about it. Tiffany is the real deal. Rebecca is a poser. Ask yourself if Rebecca would have gone for you if you weren't the star of that show. She only cares about herself Jackie.. it's completely obvious from an outsiders perspective.

Hey Jackie, I watched the episode when you talked with Kiki regarding her priorities with her health. You handled that so well. The reason I say this is although she choose her school over her health, you instilled in her the thought that when her youth is gone it will be a downward spiral with her health due to her obeseity. So many people often say, I get so tired, I have no ambition, or some other type of excuse, what they lack to know is how much energy they will recieve from working out regularily. They sleep better, want to eat better, their intimacy is better, they feel better about themselves and they send a healthy positive energy when they are present.Also, when one's body is healthy, it's not only a physical health it is also a mental health success also. I am a 30 year old woman, I am also a runner, a health nut and I realize how important it is to stay healthy so that the rest of the parts of life fall into place. Keep up the positive energy and the difference you are helping to make in people's lives, what a rewarding life you have. Also, my sympathies to Doug and his family and the family he had at the gym. May you all have peace in this time of missing him knowing that you will meet again. God Bless.

As a woman in her 60's, may I express to you my admiration for the beautiful, successful, and talented lady you are. Your program was such an inspiration for a positive, fearless and courageous path to take in life in spite of the adversities you have faced. I admire you, and that is the reason I became such an ardent viewer of Work Out. Your staff is very interesting, captivating to know more about them. Doug's passing was a tragedy, his smile, his sparkling blue eyes, the wonderful friend to all, made me seek solace with the staff during his memorial service.

Again, thank you for your series, and congrats on the success of Work Out. One sentence stood out for me, where you said, "I will never be stopped by fear". A mantra I shall remember on my paths in life.

I wish I lived closer, I would come visit you and your great staff. I have been overweight most of my life, and when I watch your show, I feel so inspired to change my life, making it healthier, but I can't seem to get that drive in me to really focus, like something is holding me back. I know that when I am really ready, I will have you to thank. Thank you for being Jackie Warner, you are so remarkeable!!

On a sadder note:
It broke my heart when Doug passed away, because he celebrated life everyday, and brightened the lives of the other trainers, the staff, and the viewers. I couldn't watch the first episode, because it hurt so much, but I watched the rerun last night. It was beautiful how you and the staff had a special memorial bike ride in his honor. He will be missed by so many.

But you know that he is all around you and is smiling at you all. I hated to hear that this was the finale, I pray that you all come back in the fall, as I said, you've gotten me off the couch. You trip home was also moving as I lost my dad 6 days after my wedding to lung cancer, and he was an unconditional dad, which was like yours but you didn't get a chance to enjoy it due to his illness.

I am really sorry about the passing of Doug. He really seemed to be the most honest, generous, and kind hearted person you ever could know. Take care, can't wait for season 3!

Hi Jackie,

I really admire you. You're in awesome shape and I think you're a great business woman. Watching the show has really inspired me to start working out and taking better care of myself. I really enjoy helping people and am currently in school to become a dental hygienist. My main goal for the future though is to eventally work for myself. I was wondering if you could offer any advice for getting started in the competitive field of personal training. I think I have the perfect personality for it and would love to make that difference in people's lives. Thanks for being my role model!

I think your show rocks. I feel inspired by you and your trainers not only to be more fit and healthy but to be a better person to others. I started watching the show this season and love it whether the episode is sad or happy. I have 5 dogs and treat them loke my kids so to watch someone else do the same I don't feel so crazy!!! Anyway, I wanted to know how your clothing line is going and where it is available. I live in Boca Raton, FL so I wasn't sure it was available nationwide yet. Also, how is your dating going? I hope well, you deserve it. Are you still seeing Rebecca? Well, thank you for your time!!! I hope there is another season to come, all good things and more wonderful SkyLabbers!!!!!!!!!1

Jackie...girl you must wake up everyday and think..."Wow, this is my life?" How awesome! Your facility looks amazing, and if I ever find my way out of Nashville, TN...I'm calling you! ha. I have been hooked on your show, since the first episode. I love it! I get work out tips, love life tips...and just plain entertainment. I love reality TV...and your show is the BEST! It seems like you guys don't hold back on much and that to me is reality, so thanks for not making it look made up. I find myself getting in shape again, and after last nights episode (Skylab group looks awesome) I'm even more motivated. I love that you and Rebecca are a couple, you look so cute together. I work with my boyfriend and we live together...it's a give and take, but at the end of the day, it's wonderful. Everyone on the show seems great. You have a great staff and I wish I lived there. I hope that the show has brought you the business you deserve, and that clothing line will skyrocket! If I could squeeze my tail in that stuff I would...well, maybe that should be my goal..ha. I love everything you guys did for Doug. I balled my eyes out lastnight over Cheo and Brian talking about the hummingbird. Doug must have been an amazing man, and it shows. Good luck with EVERYTHING you do. You are a powerful woman and a role model for all.

Hello Jackie - You are an amazing human being! I am a wife and Mother of 3 children that are 5yrs old and under - a 5 yr old and 2 yr old twins. With that said, I have a very busy schedule - BUT - I make time every week to watch your show (I may have to record it via DVR, but I watch it). A happy and healthy lifestyle is very important to me & you have assisted me in ensuring that I consistently do what is best for me and my family. There are tons of reality shows on the air right now, but you are the TRUE reality - you make all of lives better with your advice and examples. I also like the fact that you welcome us into your private life. Way to go on going back home and working on your relationship with your Mom...:-) Congrats on your new clothing line - I will be purchasing some items. You know, I have talked to my husband about flying out to train at your gym 2x/wk. Well, I'm still working on him...:-) Thank you so much and God Bless!

Hi Jackie,

I like watching your show. It inspires me to work out and lose weight and keep healthy. One thing I wanted to comment was one episode where you were cooking sugar-free chocolate fondue--I'm not sure if you're aware of this--sugar-free stuff are not really good for your stomach. It's alternative sugar and your body doesn't know how to process that. I have IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and my doctor warned me not to eat anything with sorbitol or any aritfical sweeteners--he said they're bad anyway for everyone. The body sees them as strange chemical. Dark Chocolate is the best alternative, I would suggest, as it's a good antioxidant.
Anyway, take care. :)

Living in Santa Cruz, Ca. I have come to look upon LAites as shallow and pretentious. YOU HAVE CHANGED ALL THAT!!
Not only do you have the expertise, faith and positive encouragement for your clientel to do their best, you have a truly beautiful relationship with your employees that is priceless! Not a big TV watcher...I have come to you every Tuesday night to catch up and (I hate to say) live vicariously through you and the gym. Being a woman almost 50 (did I just type that out loud)? I am blessed with thin genes, however could possibly keel over from a heart attack because I have truly never worked out a day in my life!! After seeing your show...and the passing of Doug...I have( hopefully) turned a new leaf and am getting my butt into gear as we speak. I'm getting on that damn ball I bought 2 years ago and start work on those ever lovin abs. I've been told I missed an episode about a trip to look at space for a gym in Sonoma.True?? If so I'd love to check it out. How can I keep posted on that? If you ever want to work on a group of middle aged procrastinators who don't look too bad from the outside but may be a ticking time bomb on the inside....let me know. Again, a more heart felt show has never been viewed by me in my life. Seems silly to cry and have such feelings over someone I've never met, but it seems that everyone feels as though Doug truly was one of a kind and will now be missed by millions who never were graced with his presence. Congratulations to all of your Skylab clientel who showed their true grit. Hugs to your beautiful staff for all of their positive training techniques and loving support. And Bravo to you Jackie for living your dream, and making it into a true Reality.I'll miss seeing all of you darn it!!
Keep up thge excellent work!!
PEACE
Regina

Peace, Regina

My cat, Molly, died on 12/30/06. Ultimately, her kidney disease proved too great for her to beat. I held her as she was being put down. I told her how proud I was to be her mom, that I was sorry that she was so sick, and to please say "hi" to my four-leged wonders, who have gone before her...I carry around the image of her death with me. However, this memory is shared with ones of bottle-feeding her when she was a kitten and so many others like this that leave me smiling...I mention Molly only because I wish that Doug had permitted all of you to share in his last weeks of life. I wish that he had realized that maybe you all would have had the image of him deteriorating, but it would have been shared and taken its place with so many more cherished memories...Take care...I'm looking forward to Season Three...

Thank you for sharing some very personal and important moments in your life with the viewers. I was truly touched by your visit home and am so happy for you that your relationship with your mother is on the mend. I was also touched by what a wonderful person Doug was. Your entire cast was great and I hope we see you again next year! One more thing, you have taught me that the number on the scale doesn't matter when it comes to weight loss. The befores and afters were incredible and I plan on hitting the weights pronto!

Jackie, I love this show! I am a female police officer on extended maternity leave. Your show has given me the motivation to get up and movin' again. Being that I am a "people person", being at home has somewhat depressed me, thus gaining "emotional weight". Workout is a great motivation and it gives me great ideas of exercises that I can do at home. Each trainer has such a different variety. It 's awesome. I do have a question for you, "what is the best ab exercise to recover form a c-section"? I have had a very difficult time with this. CONGRATS on leaving Mi-Mi.. WooHoo!

I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed watching your show. It actually gave me that motivation I needed start working out again (which I stopped for a long time). It's like someone was telling me "you can do it". And also because I took a lot of the advice that you gave and all the advice the other personal trainers gave. I can't believe Doug left so soon, but yet..he left so much in people's hearts. He seemed like such a great person and I cried so much when I saw the episode of his passing. My prayers go out to his family and friends. I really feel like I did learn a thing or two from him. Makes you think, see life differently and realize what's important!
I hope there is another season..!! God bless you and everyone else and keep up the good work!

I must say, I was very disapponted with Season 2. It seems , unlike the other Bravo shows, it's about your sex life and not about fitness. The gay/lesbian theme is getting old. I think that yes, we will see part of it, since you are but when you are watching a show named "Work Out", you expect so much more than that. Top Chef is about cooking, Project Runway about desing. Work out...about gay/lesbian issues ?????

Really sorry about Doug, beautiful person. I am truly sorry for that loss.

I have been needing to workout, sure wish I live in Cali. so that I could work out at your gym. I was very disapointed in KIKI. I tell my husband that I would not have waisted the gift you had given her. I do believe that you handled yourself very well in the situations that found yourself in during the season. You were professional in your decisions and actions(from one business owner to another)! I am truly very sorry for your loss of Doug. I know how hard it is loose someone soo close. Christie

It was very sad about Doug's passing. He was one of my favorite people on the show. He will be missed.

Concerning Kiki, it is ashame that she is not continuing with the program. It was very sad to see how that situation ended. I really feel that she had a lot of hidden pain and really needs some support. Studying is her way of handling it. I felt that maybe another trainer should have worked with her, like Peeler or Doug, someone who really tried to relate with her emotionally. I would love to see her come back and try again.

Can't wait for the new season!

Thanks for a fabulous season II. When I first started watching I thought it was going to be a show about gym rats. It's anything but. It's about personal triumph over adversity. It's about confronting your greatest fears. It's about believing in yourself when others wish you failure.

You have given me a gift. I wish to return the favor.

Send me a couple of your favorite pics of you. Ones that you feel capture the essence of your being. If you're like me an hate all pictures of yourself, then have someone else pick them for you.

Maybe at a special location or at a significant time of day. I will send you back a portrait (probably 16x20) that captures this special moment. If you don't like it, you can always send it back. I won't be offended.

I work in photo enlargements that I work over in soft pastels, ink and acrylics. I take the reality of a photograph, attach the fantasy of a different medium, and reveal the underlying soul of the image. In Hollywood terms, I take video and turn it into film.

I do not ask for, nor do I expect anything in return. Your acceptance of this gift will be more than ample payment.

If you need me to sign any kind of legal releases or that type of thing let me know and I will be happy to oblige.

I didnt get to see the final episode, but I did see the passing of Doug. It is a sad day when someone who seemed so genuine and sincere, is taken. I am impressed beyond words by his drive and commitment to life. I wish I had one half the energy he always gave to life.
I am trying to motivate myself more on a daily basis, after working all day and sweating most of it, I tend to be exausted. I am looking for any tips on how to stay fresh even after a long, long day.I know this is something that seemed so easy for Doug, any tips could help.

Where can I get the clothing? Not the SkySport trainer shirts...but the new line that you unveiled during the finale. Unfortunately, I deleted the episode (Tivo) so I can't look up the store name...

In any event, also wanted to say how excited I am to see a Sky Lab coming to Sonoma! I reside in San Francisco, which is about an hour drive or so away. Nothing like making a weekend trip out to the wine country! ;-)

Jackie, your show is beautiful, as are you and your staff! What a positive work environment you have at SkySport! And, with the passing of Doug I'm sure that all of you became even closer. I would like to have met him. I was deeply touched when Peeler told Cheo of his experience with the hummingbird. God truly works in mysterious ways to bring comfort and hope to us.

I love your clothing line!!!! It's so hip. I am a forty-something with about 75 pounds to lose. If I ever am able to get the weight off, I will buy items from your clothing line to wear. Sometimes I think it will take a lifetime to lose the weight. I must say that I'm deeply motivated by what I see on your show. I have chronic pain from rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. Along with that comes fatigue, and I have major depression, too. I realize from watching your show that there is hope for me. It was comforting to watch you guys work with experimental group because they weren't "perfect" in weight and looks when they arrived. I'm sure you've heard how difficult it is for a size 18 woman to walk into a gym surrounded by beautifully groomed size 6 women who are there to build muscle, maintain weight, etc. I feel like an ugly, gigantic blob standing next to them!! I want to say thanks for treating them with respect, kindness, concern, and love. You're a wonderful teacher and mentor! I would be both happy and thankful for the opportunity to learn from you. What a gift those people received. Poor Kiki......she didn't "get it". I am living proof of what you told her about getting in shape while she has youth on her side. I was told something similar one time and I didn't heed the warning. Now I have many health problems that began when I turned 40. Since then I had to quit my job and am now on disability, my spouse left me because he didn't want to married to a sick person, I am battling depression and suicidal thoughts, and I'm very lonely in this world. I have only myself to blame. Jackie, I would really like to see you put together a program geared toward those of us who have chronic pain issues, etc. You have such a motivating personality, a winning attitude, beautiful smile! Thanks for coming into my life, even if it is only through the TV! Take care and God Bless you.............I look forward to next season and am already missing the show!!! Roberta, Oklahoma City, OK

I found this series, especially the finale, incredibly staged. Everything from the breakup to the alleged new girlfriends to the conveniently converted mom to the nostalgic trip home to the magical appearance of a new clothing line was custom produced. Even Jackie's vehicle and new house didn't appear to be hers. The only reality to this show, sadly, was Doug's death. I'm surprised it was milked for more product placement! It all begs the question: Why would such an honest, hard working woman waste her time with this charade? Business must be booming. So, cue the therapist! Cue Rebecca to wrap her legs around Jackie's waist just one more time!!!!!

Hi Jackie,
I'am a 29 year old mother of two and overweight. I have tried so many diets, but failed. In November of 2006 I finally decided i was going to do it this time for me and for my family. I have wonderful support through my family, friends, and my weight loss doctor. So far to date i've lost 52lbs! But i wanted to let you and your staff know that i watch you every week, and that all of you inspire me even more to keep going. Your clients are so lucky to have all of you. I love how all of you support your clients and invite them along to retreats to give them that little extra support or should I say nudge:) I know from my own experience, a small nudge can go a long way and really make me feel great about myself. I hope to see you all next year for the next season. I also wanted to say how sorry i'am about Doug. He seemed like an amazing guy. I was so touched about Brians story with the humming bird. I believe when a love one passes on to the next life that they are still around us in their own little ways. Your show from last night also inspired me to try and be more open and loving with my own family and friends, because you never know when they will be gone. I wish you and your staff the best. All of you are great people for what you do:) Joey, a fan all the way from maine:)

We were so happy at the beginning of the season when you called it quits with your girl (Sorry I am sure that was a difficult time for you, but it was for the best) . I really didn't like the way she treated your mom. My girlfriend just thought she was too immature. I am super sad about Doug. He seemed like an excellent peson. We are hoping for a 3rd season.

P.S. Just to bust your chops, I am a little disappointed in the athletic skills displayed at the batting cage and the driving range. I would love to help your golf swing.

I am a 35 year old single mom living in transitional housing for single mother's, I have two girls 10yr old and a 3 yr old, that I am afraid I am going to leave without a mother if I don't do something about my weight. I was just accepted into the nursing program here in Midland, Texas, and I am very worried that I am not going to make it seeing as to how unhealthy I feel due to my weight. I really need some encouragement. I can only dream about being on your show to get help, or even help via the internet or a phone call would be awesome...anthing would be nice at this point in my life, I would work hard if given an opportunity, I just don't know where to start.
Sincerely,
Katherine

I must say I am really going to miss your show, I really look forward in watching it, it's not just the show but your whole personality, the way in which you deal with all those around you, you are a very and I mean very professional business woman, it's rear to find people like you who handles there business so professional and cares so much about what they doing and people in general. I must say I was very impress in the way you handle your clothing designer and the meeting, trust me if it was I he would have see
