"FitnessRX" magazine goes behind-the-scenes with Jackie WarnerOur favorite (out) celebrity trainer Jackie Warner is on the cover of the July/August FitnessRX magazine, which might not be shocking news, you know, since she's a trainer and everything. But hey, we're all about visibility, and that's one more queer woman on the stands in all of the bookstores, right?
I'm not sure what's up with her shorts, though. They're strangely hot, but not very practical for the gym. And Jackie's a big advocate for clothes that can go "from the gym to the streets," as she's mentioned numerous times on Work Out while working on her athletic fashion line. The best part of Jackie's FitnessRX feature, however, isn't even in the magazine. There are behind-the-scenes videos and interviews on the magazines website that are much more exciting than the fitness tips in print. Discussing her love of the public interaction she has from doing such shoots, Jackie said: I love it when fans come up to me and say, "Wow, you really got me working out, you really changed my life," or "I saw this photo shoot with you and I want your body."
I'm sure that last comment probably came from a few AfterEllen.com members, right? (Come on, you can admit it. I will.) In addition to a bit of an interview, Jackie explains her power circuit training workout that's in the magazine, which is much more exciting than just reading it yourself. Plus, you get to see how she does it, rather than just try to figure it out from the photos, which can sometimes seem more like a before and after rather than actual instructions.
In one of the videos, Jackie mentions she started out in the fitness industry "a little late in the game" with just one client, and after making such huge improvements in only months, she was hooked: I said, "If I can change someone's life, not just their body, but their life and the way that they operate in this world, that's the job for me." Jackie also gives some news to be excited about: She recently shot the pilot for her new Bravo series I told you about and is working on a book that will be out in January. She also has a new DVD coming out in December. Good to know, because I can never get enough Jackie — you know, for fitness motivation Submitted by on August 3, 2009 - 3:00pm. |

I continue to be astonished at how highly Jackie thinks of herself.

I am a fitness professional and I can't seem to get over how freakin' arrogant this woman is...in addition to the fact that many of her "techniques" leave a lot to be desired. I don't feel she's a role model.
I have a BS in Exercise Science, numerous certs, and 14 years experience working with hundreds and hundreds of clients. Do I have a TV show? No. I don't know the right people. If I did have one, you'd better believe I wouldn't use it as a launchpad for my products, clothing line, etc...shameless self-promotion is fine, but come on, people. She's ridiculous.
Lesbian trainer faceoff...bring it. :D
not me
she is a leo afterall. and you know underneath all that she's really just insecure.
sadly, you have to be arrogant and somewhat narcissistic to be "successful."
Big turnoff
I agree completely. Arrogance is always a big turnoff for me. I can't stand to watch her or listen to her and do not find her attractive at all. But, to each her own!
More like "the only out celebrity trainer"

Completely off the subject
But do those short totally make her look like she is packing? It would be on the left side (our left not hers.) Both pics look like there is bulge there, not that I was closely studying her shorts or anything.....

lol
You are totally right!
I love the body....but I
I love the body....but I really REALLY miss the short hair. When it first started growing out on the show I was like, "What is she doing!? Nooo!" lol I thought the short hair suited her better. =( She is starting to look like one of the blondes on FOX & Friends and that's not good.
just a thought
i wonder if she can motivate me to get dressed in the mornings :)
I guess she's just doing what every
other TV personality is doing ... self promotion, plugging her own products, making money.
I think we have this thing in the lesbian community where our 'visible lesbians' must be humble, all the time ... otherwise we turn on them.
That is something to write about ... why do we require lesbians to be cool, slightly shy, sweet, humble, not overconfident, don't self promote too much - or we will hate you?
An obnoxious/ruthless personality is one thing, but good business skills and confidence to promote one's self are another and shouldn't be frowned upon.
Businesswomyn
I think that Jackie Warner is a great businesswomyn for being able to do all that she did. And who cares if her personality is as such? We don' t really know her personally and we're not friends with her. Sure, we can have some successful fitness trainer dyke who's less insecure and less arrogant but that hasn't surfaced yet. And in fact, some attitude is always good to have.
I do get inspired by Jackie's success and physique and she's a good role model that way. We can choose some things to idolize about her.

Confidence vs. Cocky
But there is a difference between confident and cocky. A confident person does not need to tell everyone how good she is. A cocky person does.

I love JW to pieces! shes a great role model and I am one of the ones who wants her body xD lmao, make sense? xD, all for fitness purposes though =P and not the bedroom olympics. Thats just my goal :D after my weightlifting years I let myself go and now I am going back and even lower to JW's body, I think hers is a perfect bod. Not to say she is a great business woman with her defects and all , her arrogance and narcicism, you just gotta love it!, that is what makes her interesting...for me anyways. :)
