Jillian Michaels is widely known as an outspoken \u201ctough love\u201d personal trainer, television personality, entrepreneur, and author of multiple best-selling books.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
And, while her extraordinary dedication to fitness and helping others create sustainable, healthy, and fulfilled lives is what has propelled her to stratospheric fame, what many may not know is the primary driver that led to this career path\u2014being ruthlessly bullied and tormented about her weight by childhood classmates.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
During these formative years, she entered the world of martial arts to build her strength so she could better protect herself from these sometimes-physical attacks. She quickly progressed through the ranks, and as her skills improved, so did her self-confidence.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u201cPracticing martial arts, of course, helped me to lose weight and get stronger. More\u00a0<\/em>importantly, it increased my self-esteem, changed my self-image and gave me a better sense of\u00a0<\/em>self-worth. Perhaps, not surprisingly, as my confidence grew, the bullying stopped.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Becoming an expert in martial arts, combined with additional challenges faced during her early teenage years, provided her with the inner fortitude to persevere\u2014an invaluable component of her personality that would ultimately become an integral part of her unique ability to help transform the lives of others.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
At 13, Jillian\u2019s parents were navigating a horrible divorce. Struggling at school, unhappy with her weight, and dealing with the inner demons that were beginning to whisper about the \u201cwrongness\u201d of being gay, she recalls a specific sparring session at her dojo when her karate teacher side-kicked her into the corner of the studio, knocking the wind out of her.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u201cI started to cry. I tapped out. \u2018You knocked the wind out of me!\u2019<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u201cAnd he kicked me again! I was like, \u2018Wait, what are you doing?!\u2019 And I\u2019ll never forget it\u2026 he\u00a0<\/em>said, \u2018So help me God, if you do not fight your way out of this corner, I will break your ribs.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u201cI thought, \u2018Oh my God!!\u2019<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u201cBut then it dawned on me\u2014I remember saying to myself, \u2018You can cry all you want, and you\u00a0<\/em>can play the victim card as much as you want, but you\u2019ll die on that cross in this corner.\u2019 So, I\u00a0<\/em>did what I needed to do and fought my way out.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Jillian credits this experience with teaching her the difference between empathizing with someone who is being pushed to his or her personal brink and moving him through his pain, versus sympathizing with someone in a way that allows him to give up\u2014thereby providing false messaging and the validation of one\u2019s darkest fears and insecurities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u201cWhen you have that \u2018Oh you poor thing \u2026 you\u2019ve had enough\u2019 type perspective, you\u2019re\u00a0<\/em>basically telling that person that she is weak. A victim. Incapable. That day in the dojo, my\u00a0<\/em>teacher taught me that you can empathize with someone while teaching her to believe she is\u00a0<\/em>capable. At once, it was like, \u2018I get it\u2014it sucks not being able to breathe right now! But I am\u00a0<\/em>capable of this and will accept nothing less.\u2019 What I learned is that, when you take a stand for people and help them shift into the vision of who they can be, you guide them to become a more\u00a0<\/em>powerful version of themselves. You have the chance to see who a person really is, even when\u00a0<\/em>she can\u2019t see it for herself.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Though today, it\u2019s hard to imagine Jillian pursuing a different career path, it took many years for her to realize that fitness lit a fire in her soul. As she was training for her black belt as a teenager, she admittedly \u201cfell into\u201d training others.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Still, she says,\u00a0\u201cIt didn\u2019t click. When I felt strong physically, I was empowered. I was more\u00a0<\/em>resilient in all facets of my life. However, I never considered fitness or martial arts to be\u00a0<\/em>something I would do for a living.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
At 24, Jillian chose to leave martial arts in favor of getting a \u201creal\u201d job. She became a junior agent at a talent agency and recalls \u201cnever being more unhappy or making less money.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Three long years later, she left\u2014a decision that would set the trajectory for her now-famous professional life.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u201cI remember thinking, \u2018Oh God, what am I going to do? What am I going to do with my life?\u2019 I fell back into training to pay the bills, working in a sports medicine facility as a physical therapy aid.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
There, Jillian learned how to guide clients in the rehabilitation of their injuries. Graduating to personal trainer, she began growing the practice, largely via referrals.\u00a0\u201cI was waking up happy\u00a0<\/em>every day again,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0she said\u2026 and that\u2019s when the seed of entrepreneurship bloomed\u2014deciding to open her own facility.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
She partnered with another personal trainer and both sold everything they had and maxed out their credit cards to pursue their shared dream. Some of their existing clients invested in the facility as well as Jillian\u2019s mom. Skysport & Spa\u2014a Beverly Hills penthouse fitness facility offering chiropractic physical therapy, massage, and personal training\u2014was born.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Shortly thereafter, Jillian, via referral, was hired as a personal trainer on what ultimately became one of the most popular reality television shows of all time,\u00a0The Biggest Lose<\/em>r. Known as the \u201ctoughest trainer\u201d in the history of the show for her hard-hitting coaching style, some have compared her to a drill instructor who pushes her clients past the point of exhaustion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Like most in the spotlight, she has her fair share of fans and critics. She has even been accused of \u201cfat-shaming\u201d and being \u201cfat-phobic,\u201d to which Jillian responds:\u00a0\u201cI get it. People only see through their own lens\u2014through what is in their heart and head. Take someone from the Body Positivity Movement. She may have no idea what I\u2019m actually saying, which is hey\u2026 there\u2019s no shame in this. You have felt marginalized for such a long time. I understand how painful it has been for you, and you\u2019re absolutely right\u2026 no one should judge you based on your body. But, while beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and everybody has worth, value, and merit, health is a matter of science. I advocate for embracing your health and accepting simple scientific facts.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
For every person who considers Jillian a \u201cmonster,\u201d you\u2019ll find many more who consider her to be a hero. Jillian says neither is accurate.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
With 40,000 Americans dying from obesity-related health issues every month and a \u201cGoogleplex\u201d of studies detailing how deadly this disease really is, Jillian has no expectations when it comes to \u201cconvincing\u201d people who refuse to see these issues for what they are.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no money in my message,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0she said.\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m fighting for the souls in the middle. It\u2019s about being brave enough to be real. I care enough about people that I speak my truth and am authentic in my message\u2014I have to move beyond what people think of me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Jillian\u2019s mission is simple\u2014to empower people through health and wellness. Viewing health as an entry point to rebuilding one\u2019s self-image, self-worth, and self-esteem, she stands by the fact that, when people feel stronger physically, they feel stronger and are more resilient in other facets of life, too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt\u2019s about contributing to one human at a time. 85% of those who lose a large amount of weight\u00a0<\/em>will put it back on. It\u2019s the same with any addiction. You quit smoking; you start again. You stop\u00a0<\/em>drinking; you start again. These habits, emotions, thought patterns, and behaviors exist as a\u00a0<\/em>means for psychological survival\u2014they\u2019re in our psyche. That\u2019s why one small victory is really\u00a0<\/em>massive success. It\u2019s not easy for people to change. Contributing in any way to someone\u2019s\u00a0<\/em>journey or transformation in a positive manner is an honor. That\u2019s my measurement of\u00a0<\/em>\u2018success.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Enter podcasting\u2014another measure of Jillian\u2019s accomplishments.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
More than ten years ago, Jillian hosted a two-hour radio show every Sunday morning. Although it was very popular, she eventually burned out on committing to going live week after week, deciding to end the show after an extended, successful run.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Eventually, she missed it enough to reconsider\u2026 as did the countless listeners who wrote to her asking for her to get back on the air. When her business partner brought up the idea of podcasting, she was immediately interested.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u201cI approached my producer from the radio show about it. So, we went to a studio and just\u00a0<\/em>started talking. I didn\u2019t have any idea how we\u2019d get listeners if we launched a podcast. We\u00a0<\/em>basically adopted Kevin Costner\u2019s message in Field of Dreams\u2014\u2018If you build it, they will come.\u2019\u00a0<\/em>And they did. We even got an award from Apple for the show. I can honestly say that podcasting\u00a0<\/em>is 100% a pure passion project.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The allure of podcasting, Jillian shared, is that\u00a0\u201cPodcasts allow you to have a direct connection\u00a0<\/em>with your audience. There are no gatekeepers or people manipulating you or what you say or do.\u00a0<\/em>There\u2019s no click bait. It\u2019s very pure. Whatever is in your heart can come right out of your mouth.\u00a0<\/em>It\u2019s an extremely authentic medium, and anyone can do it. Plus, podcasts are now being turned\u00a0<\/em>into major television shows and motion pictures. Some are even bigger than major news c<\/em>hannels. Look at Joe Rogan, for example. Millions listen to that show month in and month out.\u00a0<\/em>You want to be heard around the world? Say it on\u00a0<\/em>The Joe Rogan Experience.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
True to her \u201cgive-it-to-you-straight nature,\u201d Jillian spoke to the power of the podcast in terms of creating personal transformation:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u201cThere are no more excuses for achieving your desired goals,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0she said.\u00a0\u201cPodcasting makes\u00a0<\/em>information and education accessible to you no matter what changes you want to make. Whether\u00a0<\/em>it\u2019s learning how to meditate, work out more effectively, or speak a new language, these free\u00a0<\/em>resources are literally at your fingertips. So, utilize them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Few can argue that Jillian achieves tremendous results for her clients. Her success can be attributed to a combination of\u00a0\u201cambition, resilience, dumb luck, and effort,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0she said\u2026 and perhaps most importantly, her honesty:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u201cI\u2019m just not afraid to say what most people are afraid to say. I will not lie because it\u2019s popular.\u00a0<\/em>It\u2019s not honorable to spare feelings when something is costing lives and solutions are at hand. Y<\/em>es, there\u2019s a way to say and do it that may be less direct than the path I take, but the truth is still\u00a0<\/em>the truth, especially when it comes to your health.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Robert Frost famously said that it is in traversing the path less traveled that \u201cmade all the difference.\u201d Fortunately, for millions across the globe, Jillian has been willing to forge, and stay true to, her singular path.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
