What is the Biggest Loser Club?

If you watch The Biggest Loser, you know how many weight loss and health resources the contestants have at their disposal. Now fans of the show and all those who have vowed to get healthy can find similar support with the Biggest Loser Club. Members of the online club follow the Biggest Loser fitness philosophy, nutritional guidelines and community challenges, and have access to The Biggest Loser’s basic building blocks for healthy living, including recipes, workout tips from the show, weight loss trackers, sweepstakes invitations and more.

All of this comes with a bigger and better show website to further enhance the viewer’s experience of The Biggest Loser. “The new and enhanced BiggestLoser.com will bring together an array of tools and products that will inspire The Biggest Loser viewers and fans to tackle their own weight loss journey,” says Kim Niemi, senior vice president of NBCUniversal Television Consumer Products. “We are very excited to introduce the new site and to provide everyone with access to new, exclusive content as well as personalized health and wellness planning tools that will bring the benefits of The Biggest Loser lifestyle to people at home.”
