Meet Chris Powell

TV Celebrity Transformation Specialist & Vemma Bod•ē Product Endorser

As a TV Celebrity Transformation Specialist and the best-selling author of Choose to Lose: The 7-Day Carb Cycle Solution, Chris has exploded onto the fitness scene with his unorthodox approach, becoming a pioneer for a new hybrid of fitness professionals. Chris has captured national attention with the largest and fastest natural weight loss ever documented, changing the life of a man by helping him lose 401 lbs in 26 months. It was Chris' unyielding dedication to another that captured the heart of America as he shared his story on such national shows as The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Dr. Oz Show, 20/20, The View, as well as a one-hour documentary for TLC.

I'm excited to endorse Vemma Bod•ē which offers a complete supplement package."

Chris' commitment to help others is rooted in his own struggle with body image. He knows what it takes to help people overcome their biggest challenge – their weight – to ultimately reclaim their life. Chris is currently traveling the country for a documentary-style TV series, which is airing its second season starting May 2012. Viewers see how he uses his innovative techniques, education and expertise to guide extremely overweight individuals as they shed hundreds of pounds over the course of a year. The show, which debuted its first season in the spring of 2011, assembles each participant's story into a stand-alone episode.

Chris has taken the extra step with many of his participants' fitness changes by moving into their homes. By assuring that they have the proper nourishment and exercise movement, he has provided a fresh perspective to individuals whose lives have become unmanageable because of their weight.

He holds a degree in Exercise Science with concentrations in biomechanics and physiology and the NSCA professional training accreditation as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS). He has been the Fitness Pro on KTVK's Good Morning Arizona for almost ten years, delivering tips, shortcuts, and tricks of the trade to the largest news viewing audience in Arizona.
