“We get days – not weeks or months – to change these people… I have no learning curve.”
— Eric the Trainer

Greetings, SuperFriends!

Today, we are joined by Eric the Trainer, a renowned fitness trainer who has worked with some of the greatest names in Hollywood. He's trained UFC fighters, celebrities, and police academies alike, and he's a spokesperson for Gold's Gym, a writer for Muscle and Fitness and TRAIN magazine, and the Host of “Celebrity Sweat” on Spike TV.

In this episode, I wanted to gain some clearer understanding on the world of fitness training and muscle development, from someone who knows so much about it. But, in reality, I got much, much more than I was bargaining for. You see, because my guest today is literally THE force behind some of the most incredible physical transformations in Hollywood – the ones that make your jaw drop when you see them – my mind was opened up to a whole new realm of possibility.

We talk about diet, nutrition, and exercise – as we do in many episodes – but with the distinct difference that in this episode, we talk about the extreme end of the spectrum. The end where peopleā€™s bodies can be radically transformed in a matter of weeks or even days. And then, we tie it back to practical tips that you can use to do the same to create the body of your dreams – whatever that is. I just know youā€™re going to LOVE it.
