America’s trainer, Bob Harper, starred on 17 seasons of NBC’s The Biggest Loser. At the age of 51, his world came to a halt when he suffered a heart attack and went into cardiac arrest. He woke up from a coma two days later and learned that he had needed to be shocked three times by an automated external defibrillator (AED) to restart his heart.
Harper’s experience gave him new purpose and since then, he has doubled down on his efforts to promote physical and emotional well-being. Through programs like Survivors Have Heart, he’s made it his mission to not only educate people about heart disease, but to bring together survivors, share their stories, provide support for them and their loved ones, and help them stay committed to lasting health.
Harper is now hosting the all new Biggest Loser on USA Network, which premiered in January 2020. Join Bob and Ritch as they revisit Harper’s pivotal moments, share more anecdotes, and their love for fashion.
