New Biggest Loser Trainers

Biggest Loser Starts Tonight

Biggest Loser Trainers

One of the things to watch for tonight will be the new trainers. Jillian Michaels has left the Biggest Loser in search of a newer lifestyle which has left a big hole to fill. This season we have two trainers that will try to fill Jillians shoes. Dolvett Quince, a personal trainer from Atlanta and Anna Kournikova, a former top 10 pro tennis player and Maxim cover model. They may be good or bad but just like a few seasons ago with Kim Lyons and last season with Cara Castronuova and Brett Hoebel. One of these two new trainers may stick but you never know. Bob Harper has said in the past that we will stay until they get rid of him. He loves the show.

Who is Dolvett Quince?



A couple of weeks ago the people at the Biggest Loser announced that Dolvett Quince would be joining Anna Kournikova and Bob Harper on the the Biggest Loser this season as one of the new trainers. I had to ask myself who is Dolvett Quince? So I looked around.

Who is Dolvett Quince?

Well Dolvett is a trainer with a personal fitness gym in Atlanta Georgia and after looking around a bit (I love Google) I was able to figure out that he is in fact a very popular person in the Atlanta social scene. Also Dolvett Quince is also the creator of  Me and My Chair – a workout video that is based completely around strengthening and toning your body using nothing but a chair.

Who is Dolvett Quince?

Dolvett is only the 7th trainer in the hostory of the Biggest Loser so what can we expect from him? In interviews so far Dolvett has said that he will be tough but fair. We can take this to mean I would expect that he will be less intense than Jillian Michaels was but at the same time a very imposing guy in the gym. Being from a personal training 1 on 1 background we should expect him to understand the emotions going through people as they lose a lot of weight.

“I think in the process of training you develop your muscles and challenge yourself. Those endorphins are being built in your body and that can bring about a lot of emotion and people tend to vent,” he explained.

“During the training process you’ll see a lot of tears, some laughing, even some anger. It’s my job to be there for that person, not only as a trainer but as a friend in a lot of ways.”

Quince added: “That is why it is personal training. You want to be personal with that individual and make sure you are there for them and help them progress and get through those things.”

When do we Get to Meet Dolvett Quince?

Biggest Loser is Back soon. The new season of Biggest Loser is starting just next week on September 20th on NBC with new trainer Anna Kournikova, Dolvett Quince, and Bob Harper. Then we finally get a real answer to who is Dolvett Quince?

Anna Kournikova New Biggest Loser Trainer


I am sure that this will come as a surprise to many people but Anna Kournikova, one of the top professional tennis players of the 1990s is now the new Biggest Loser trainer taking over from Jillian Michaels.

Anna Kournikova had a very successful career as a pro tennis player although she has a very strange stat that although she spent as much time in the top 10 as she did in mans magazines she somehow did not ever win a pro tennis tournament at the top level.

Although not a trainer as we would expect on the Biggest Loser, Anna Kournikova has written a book on training your body.

Anna Kournikova’s hiring is part of a bigger change in the way that the Biggest Loser is as a show, which is finishing its 11th season tonight. Todd Lubin, an executive producer of “The Biggest Loser,” said that next season will see the show “getting slightly away from just the tape measure, and getting into overall well being and health. That’s where Biggest Loser needs to go.”

Mr. Lubin said he and the other producers “intentionally tried to not replace” Jillian Michaels, who announced late last year that the eleventh season would be her last.

This season we saw two people aduitioning for the spot of new trainer as we all knew that Jillian Michaels was leaving the Biggest Loser after this season but apparently Cara Castranouva and Brett Hoebel where not who the People running the Biggest Loser wanted as the new trainer.


So my question now is, what does Anna Kournikova know about training others? How good will she be? And most importantly to me how will the chemistry between Anna Kournikova and Bob Harper be?

The next season is starting soon so I guess we will have those questions answered soon. In the meantime let me know what your idea is of the direction the show has to go and what Anna Kournikova new Biggest Loser Trainer will bring to the show.
