Michelle is arguably Australia's highest profile fitness professional having carved out a name for herself as the uncompromising, but compassionate trainer of the Red Team on Channel Ten's ratings blockbuster The Biggest Loser.

The second Australian season has once again seen her mixing her own special cocktail of intense training, outrageous confrontation and heartfelt kindness that saw her become synonymous with the kind of trainer we'd all love to have ourselves…maybe. Her 'trample the weak, hurdle the dead' approach certainly gets results, but ouch!

Michelle's day to day persona however is not so confronting, and she has been busy in the off season on the lecture circuit addressing hundreds of weight loss candidates and fitness professionals, passing on wisdom and insights gleaned from her time in The Biggest Loser house and from seventeen years of training instructors and clients.

Drawing on her experience as a successful fitness competitor here and overseas, a Les Mills Master trainer in Bodypump© RPM© and Body Attack© , and a lifetime of gruelling workouts that keep her in razor sharp condition, this Novacastrian fitness guru has demonstrated her ability to get the results that her customers want – and to get them quickly.

This experience will hit the book shelves later this year with her first book that blows the lid off the plethora of myths and misinformation that bombards us daily. Michelle's first literary excursion is a working girls handbook for shedding kilos fast and keeping them off by inviting readers to take a long hard look at where their weight issues stem from, and then guiding them through a mental renovation to a new future.

Michelle's name has quickly become synonymous with weight loss and exercise, a progression that hasn't gone unnoticed by sports apparel giant adidas, with whom Michelle is proud to have formed a partnership agreement. She is a fourth year ambassador for the National Heart Foundation and is a contributing writer for Women's Health magazine. She was also the winner of the highly respected Fitness Leader of the Year award in 2004.

Michelle is a highly sought after public speaker where she imparts her sometimes controversial, but always entertaining view on life, food and fitness to corporations, associations, health club members, professional groups and others not just here in Australia, but all over the world.

She lives in Sydney with her loving husband Billy and crazy dog Paddy. When she's not kicking butt on TV she enjoys dining out with friends, traveling and mooching around her inner city village.

It's hardly surprising when 49% of us are overweight that there are an awful lot of questions about obesity. At no time in our history has our thirst for information about exercise, nutrition and lifestyle been more acute.

Michelle Bridges is arguably Australia's highest profile personal trainer and weight loss warrior. Her role on Channel Ten's ratings giant The Biggest Loser has seen an avalanche of interest from businesses, associations, community groups and health clubs clamouring to hear in person the unique style of the trainer who reminded us all that 'there's no crying in the gym'.

Whether you want to kick start your own weight loss program, get some mid-stream motivation or just be entertained by a working girl from Newcastle's take on life, food, fitness and chocolate, you can be assured of one thing – you will be kept amused by Michelle's hard hitting, and sometimes controversial view on getting it off and keeping it off.
