Bio

Brett Hoebel is an American fitness and nutrition expert and personal trainer best known as one of the trainers on the reality competition television series The Biggest Loser.

As the founder of Hoebel Fitness and an international fitness expert, Brett Hoebel is one of the most sought-after weight-loss, nutrition and lifestyle coaches in New York.

His integrative philosophy and body-mind approach come from his diverse experience in Eastern and Western disciplines, including his martial arts training in Afro-Brazilian capoeira and Muay Thai kickboxing, as well as his educational background in functional strength training, nutrition, yoga and holistic health.

He was a pre-med student at Claremont McKenna College, and graduated with a bachelor of science degree with a dual major in psychology and biology. He later furthered his education taking graduate courses in biomedical science at Rutgers University.

Hoebel was born in Plainfield, New Jersey, and was adopted and raised by his father, who was a professor, and his mother, who was a professional musician, in Princeton, New Jersey with two older sisters.

From the age of 11 through age 15, he was as much as 50 pounds overweight, describing himself as "the fat kid who didn't know he was fat."

In his freshman year in high school, he weighed 170 pounds, but after playing football, wrestling and lacrosse that year and attending summer camps for those sports, he was 50 pounds lighter as a sophomore. That transformation was very profound, not just physically but also mentally and emotionally.

A veteran in the health and wellness industry, Hoebel has helped shape up some of Hollywood's finest, including Victoria Secret supermodels, A-list actors, fashion designers and music icons.

He was also the co-star of a reality fitness show on cable called Fit Family and has appeared on numerous shows like The View, the Today show and Good Morning America.

He has been a contributing fitness expert for many publications, including Vogue, The New York Times, Elle, InStyle, Shape and Self, and has been touted "Best of New York" by New York Magazine and Allure.

Hoebel is also an award-winning group fitness instructor and nationally recognized personal trainer who has been certified in Corrective Holistic Exercise Kinesiology, kettle bell instruction, Olympic lifting, nutrition and lifestyle coaching, Hatha yoga instruction and prenatal and postpartum conditioning.

His passion, knowledge and creativity can be seen in the lifestyle-fitness programs he's created including RevAbs, a revolutionary in-home DVD workout program and reVamp, his signature personal training system.

When not in New York, he travels to Los Angeles and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to teach his programs, work with clients, study capoeira and meet with different health and fitness professionals that share his same integrative approach.
