FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Last month, hit reality show “The Biggest Loser” returned to television after a 4-year hiatus. Previously on NBC, the show now brings its 18th season to USA entertainment network with some major changes to the competition’s structure. With the show’s resurgence, they have once again teamed up with Rubber-Cal to floor the “Biggest Loser” gym, otherwise the setting for the trials and tribulations of the contestants. In late summer of 2019, the episodes were filmed just outside Santa Fe in Glorieta, New Mexico.
“The Biggest Loser” is one of the most popular and longest-running unscripted franchises in television history. The program has revamped itself to give contestants a 360-degree view of what it takes to make a serious, healthy lifestyle change. The new season will aim to improve contestant’s quality of life as well as their waistlines. Even though fitness is one component of a healthy revival, the show’s focal point is the gym floor. Decked out with the latest cardio equipment, barbells, ropes and the customary black rubber floors, the gym becomes the backdrop to the emotional journey of the contestants. The “Biggest Loser” gym covers 15,000 square feet and contains all of the equipment needed for contestants to get into shape.
With the return of host Bob Harper, the show has brought in new trainers Steve Cook and Erica Lugo to guide contestants toward a healthier lifestyle from every level. Contestants now work with doctors, life coaches, and nutritionists to develop individualized routines and meal plans, which will be closely monitored for safety. The 30-week competition now also includes group therapy sessions and an improved after-care package for eliminated contestants, which provides them with a gym membership and nutritionist access after leaving the show.
Season 18 of “The Biggest Loser” airs on USA Network every Tuesday at 9/8 c. Tune in to see the new facility and watch contestants face-off for a grand prize of $100,000.
