Bodyrock who is zuzana

It's an environment of free expression where people can share their passion. How come we never see you on BR working out?! You mentioned that you lost 20 lbs recently. Way to go! Did Lisa train you? I did and thank you : Lisa and Sean have both been huge supporters of my personal fitness journey. I do the workouts and challenges right along with everyone else - no special treatment lol.

People have mentioned that Lisa's extent of plastic surgery is hypocritical to the health and wellness BR often tries to display. How do you react to those accusations? I think what people choose to do with their bodies is a personal decision that is entirely no one else's business.

Lisa chose to be open and honest about what she has had done. This was the first time someone stood up on our platform and just leveled with everyone about their choices and experiences - but she was not the first person to host BodyRock that has had surgeries. Body modification has increasingly become the norm in both fitness and in our culture. Until you can fully understand what it's like to live inside someone else's body and everything that entails, I think it's best to reserve judgement.

You have been very open with your feelings about your breakup with Zuzana. Were you ever worried about the fate of BR once you guys announced your breakup? That was an extremely difficult time on many different levels. Our breakup was highly public and although I had sort of gotten accustomed to the attention we were getting through the site, I was entirely unprepared for the wave of attention both positive and negative that I received personally.

One of the national newspapers in Canada where I'm from covered it in an article. It was surreal to say the least. The official script that we decided on was that we were parting ways as friends. The decision to frame it as an amicable separation was largely to protect the community and create as little disruption for people as possible. It did not - in any way - represent the realities behind the scenes when the cameras were off.

I didn't know how we would continue. I didn't have a host. The show had only ever had one face. It was a defining moment for the brand. At that moment it could have crashed. What ultimately happened however is that we started to grow. At some point along the trajectory of its development BodyRock became to be mean more to people than any one person.

The best explanation I've ever come up for this actually came from a BodyRocker that wrote to me "There was the Body - then there was the Rock" - the rock part of our community - the effort, the heart, the intention - it endured the transition and took root again and began to flourish.

We have grown many times the size we were since those days and new people are discovering the community every single day. It's incredible to witness. We were approached just about a year before the split. We ultimately decided not to work with companies whose only motivation was a soulless pursuit of making money.

It would have destroyed BR. BR is a business, but the core value we provide - the workouts and connection with our hosts will always be free.

That's baked into the DNA of the brand and it sets us apart. Yes we have things you can buy if you choose to - but you don't have to pay to be part of it.

That was never the original intention and I'm protective over this aspect of who we are as a brand. Do you plan on keeping the dailyhiit? Has it lived up to your expectations as I believe you once wanted to replace bodyrock.

People want to know - why is Melissa no longer with BR? She was made an official host and then she disappeared. Melissa was an incredible trainer and brought a lot of heart to her role as a host. She chose to leave to pursue projects closer to home and her family.

She's a mother and wife and hosting BR required her to be away for stretches of time. We were sorry to lose her but wish her all the best. Will we see more body weight workouts in the future? The trainers come up with their own workouts. Everyone has their own particular focus and passion and we let them run with it. For the most part equipment manufacturers approach us with sample gear. We get these types of inquiries on a weekly basis. For us to take on new gear we have to believe in it.

That means working out with it and testing it and making the commitment to using it in future workouts. Everyone on camera seems made up, tanned and even oiled up. We don't have makeup artists and have never used them for our videos. It's up to the hosts to wear as much or as little makeup as they choose.

There have been LOTS of nutrition guides lately. Do you think it is confusing to the consumer to keep introducing new ones? The guides we publish each deal with very specific topics. The most recent guide is our first ever cook book.

I'm particularly proud of it because the food and ingredients were beautifully photographed and the recipes are absolutely delicious. Everything we do is constantly evolving and we are always striving to make improvements.

Do the hosts of BR actually think that 16 minutes a day is all you need to really look like them? The point is not to look like them - the point is to train to be the best version of yourself possible. Our short HIIT workouts combined with a sensible diet have transformed thousands of people's lives. We post before and after pictures from the community each and every week.

These types of 'word of body' testimonials are incredibly powerful and motivating. Majorva fell for Frederick Light, a year-old amateur filmmaker from Kingston, Ont.

Their chance encounter in would rescue her from an X-rated career and turn her into a fitness star with her own You Tube channel — Bodyrock. On any given day, half a million people tune in to watch Zuzana sweating through push-ups, squats and burpies, while her husband coaches and jokes from behind the camera.

Since they started in , viewer loyalty has made Bodyrock. Tv one of the most popular YouTube channels in Canada. The videos have been watched million times — 40 times the population of the Czech Republic.

This summer, when Creative Artists Agency, an entertainment company whose star roster includes Oprah Winfrey and George Clooney, signed them as a client, it seemed to be the perfect ending to the corporate fairy tale.

However, success came with a price. In October, the couple abruptly announced they would separate. The couple developed Bodyrock. Tv as a kind of reality show. But unlike Jersey Shore or the Bachelor , shows premised on human frailty, they crafted the Bodyrock message as an aspirational one: anyone can, like Zuzana, build a better life through exercise. Born in Prague to a single mother, Zuzana dropped out of business college at 18 and fell into adult entertainment.

She was saved, in a way, when she met Freddy. They married in in a castle outside Prague, and began Bodyrock. Tv apart from other home exercise competition. By July , their videos hit a million views and they were partnering with YouTube, untapping a lucrative future. Tv had reached million views, they were making hundreds of dollars a week.
