We had a great conversation with Fitness Expert, TV Host (Extreme Weightloss), NY Times Best Selling Author @Heidi Powell . We talked about so many things from weightloss, her new Get Fit Challenge, her story and what an amazing story is is plus a whole lot more! When we say our tagline is "Up Close & Personal", we accomplished that on this episode! Heidi Powell is a world-renowned transformation expert whose two decades of impact encompass network television host, certified personal trainer, New York Times best-selling author, professional bodybuilding champion and serial entrepreneur. She became a fixture in America’s living room and across the globe as co-host of ABC’s hit show, Extreme Weight Loss, where she coached overweight individuals in front of millions of viewers each week as they shed hundreds of pounds over the course of a year.  Following the success of the show, she co-founded TransformHQ, a holistic health and wellness enterprise that brought together top weight loss experts to expand life-changing transformation far beyond the show participants via science-backed supplements, expert coaching, deep community, and an immersive app. Heidi’s unique transformation methodology extends well beyond her array of certifications or the depth of her fitness and nutrition knowledge. Recognizing that there is so much more to holistic health than just the physical component, she utilizes a comprehensive mental, emotional, spiritual, behavioral, and physical approach to total transformation. Leveraging her decades of experience, she regularly coaches thousands of women through their personal life transformations across platforms to meet her audience where they are: online to her more than a million followers (IG: 570k, FB: 743k, YB: 119k), in her private Show Up coaching communities, as an author of books, through her blog, in her one-of-a-kind fitness challenges, at her live events and in the April release of her highly anticipated daily workout app. Heidi has been featured in numerous publications including Shape, Redbook, Parents and served on the Women’s Health magazine Advisory Board. She has regularly appeared on such shows as GMA, Dr. Oz, and The Doctors. She has both ACE and CrossFit certifications. Heidi is a co-founder of skincare company Athia, an investor in startups aligned with her mission, a real estate enthusiast and is determined to set an example to her kids that a woman can do both chase their dreams and love their kids well as a present mama. Heidi resides in Arizona with her four children, and they are and will always be the most important part of her life and any bio that’s ever written about her.
