Heidi Powell is the ultimate female force. She is a trainer, transformation specialist, devoted wife, mother of four, savvy businesswoman, author, nutrition nut, and overall health guru. Heidi became a fixture in America’s living room as she worked side-by-side husband Chris Powell on ABC’s hit show, “Extreme Weight Loss.” Heidi empowered thousands across the globe as the matriarch and tour de force for the often-struggling participants, serving as their daily fitness coach, voice of reason and biggest cheerleader. Season 5 premiered to high ratings in 2015, and the Powells continue to touch lives weekly as EWL airs in syndication on TLC and OWN networks worldwide. 

Chris and Heidi released their most recent book in December 2015 entitled, Extreme Transformation: Lifelong Weight Loss in 21 Days, which provides a comprehensive blueprint for changing your body—and life—in just 21 days. Chris has also written two other best-selling books, Choose to Lose,  and Choose More, Lose More For Life. Heidi writes an incredibly successful blog, where she shares her insight and expertise on health and wellness trends, fitness regimens, healthy recipes, family-friendly workouts, marriage and parenting advice, navigating life with a blended family, and her secrets to balancing it all.

This past March Chris and Heidi launched their debut digital platform, TRANSFORM with Chris and Heidi, with the goal of transforming one million lives by the end of 2017.

This is what she believes:

We can all do a little better each day to improve our health physically, mentally and socially, fitness is not only about how we look, it is also about how we feel, love and inspire each other. There is a difference between having a fitness mindset and being a ‘gym junkie.’ You discover inner strength that is just waiting to help you become a better you. Having a fitness mindset is about setting a realistic goal, and then not stopping until you get there.

Fitness goals help promote life goals. I’ve seen how fitness mindset empowers relationships not just in myself but in my friends and clients. I see how it helps aspire to be better at work. Most incredibly, I’ve seen how workouts help work through darker times. The ones we all sometimes face. The breakups. The struggles. The things we wanted so much to go our way, and for whatever reason, don’t go the way we planned. In both workouts and in life, we have bad days. But having a fitness mindset is about having control over our minds and our bodies. These obstacles are just another challenge for us to overcome. Because everyday we step out of bed we are one step closer to reaching your goals. That’s why I encourage everyone to focus on right now. Today, you are stronger than yesterday. You are stronger this week than you were last month—and tomorrow—you’ll be even stronger. As long as you dedicate some time everyday toward working out on you, I promise you will get to your goals.

Her passion for health and wellness began over 20 years ago when she discovered fitness and truly believes it saved her life.  Her newly released memoir, From Broken to Badass, shares the story of the many unhealthy hurdles she faced during her early years, and her ultimate desire to rise above her past.

Having competed as a high ranking national figure athlete, she has additionally graced the covers of 9 magazines along with countless features in the likes of Oxygen, STRONG, Inside Fitness, Health & Fitness, Muscle & Fitness Hers and many more! She has discovered her strength and passion lie in motivating others to seek their own “inner badass.”

Sidney Jarvis launched her first business at only the age of 18 in the freelance beauty industry, working with top photographers and elite clients, utilizing her cosmetology license in a unique way. During this time, she maintained business relationships with CEO’s where she was mentored and shaped into the Entrepreneur she is today. At 23, Sidney continued her education and achieved a Master Certification in Airbrush Tanning.

With an appetite for risk, creativity, and a growth-oriented mindset, Sidney catapulted Bunzies Tanning from just another tanning girl in the industry, to a noticed and desired brand that leading fitness entrepreneurs craved to work with.

It takes a lot of savvy, heightened awareness and good judgement to identify a viable business opportunity and figure out how it can be transformed into a high growth business model. Sidney is a single full time mother, and grew her business utilizing these skills without any outside investment. A good network is one of the most crucial assets of an entrepreneur, but more importantly, the ability to leverage that network effectively can be the difference between a failed and a successful startup.

The tanning industry grosses over a billion dollars annually. Sidney has developed a turnkey business system offering other women the opportunity to cash in with her. Sidney knows as an entrepreneur you must continuously reinvent yourself and not stay complacent. Now at age 30, Sidney has launched her most recent business venture, Sunless Bunzies Institute. SBI is a new form of residual income that will allow other women to be a part of the Bunzies Tanning Team. SBI provides the training, tools and support to help other mothers and motivated women earn a 6 figure income working from the comfort of their own home.
