Since the invention of celebrities, stars have gone to extreme measures to look good on film and in print.  From dieting and exercise to starvation and gastric bypass surgery, in order to make the big bucks, they must do whatever it takes.

Celebrity trainers have recently come to the spotlight, catapulted by the success and popularity they have acquired sculpting the bodies of Hollywood Vixens and their leading men.  Many of these celebrity trainers “bite the hand that feeds them” in a way by ditching their celebrity clients for a more main stream audience.  Celebrity trainers can be offered a wide array of money-making opportunities, from workout videos and diet plans sold on infomercials to book deals with some of the countries most prestigious publishers, and even reality TV shows, such as the hit Bravo series “workout”.

One thing all celebrity trainers must have is flexibility.  When training their regular clients, trainers to the stars can schedule them as they would any other clients; usually between regular business hours, Monday through Friday.  Celebrities, on the other hand, require a more delicate approach, especially when preparing to play the leading role in a film.  Trainer Valerie Walters remembers sessions with Jennifer Garner taking place many times in the wee hours of the morning.  This was the only time Garner was available due to her busy filming schedule, and celebrity trainers must be able to accommodate.

But the question remains, are celebrity trainers better trainers than the certified trainers at the gym?  Is there additional education required to be a celebrity trainer, or are they simply in the right place at the right time….like many of the celebrities they train?

Through research I found that two celebrity trainers, John Spencer Ellis and Kelli Calabrese, offer an online training program to teach certified personal trainers how to become celebrity personal trainers.  Ellis and Calabrese will teach, not only the different between a celebrity personal trainer and a personal trainer to the celebrities, but also how to put together a press kit and portfolio.

One thing that we can all agree on is that starvation diets or extreme celebrity diets are no substitute for nutritious diet and exercise.  And a nutritious diet often includes a dietary supplement such as the acai berry.

Acai berries are grown in the pristine Amazon rainforests.  They are harvested from the tops of acai trees by local Brazilians.  Acai berries were recently introduced into the diets of North Americans, and have since been touted by many medical sources as, “The world’s most perfect food.”  One of these medical sources is anti aging and weight loss expert Dr. Nicholas Perricone.  Dr. Perricone is often seen on Oprah.  On one of Oprah’s recent TV shows Dr. Perricone introduced his list of the top 10 Superfoods, with the acai berry being the world’s #1 superfood.

Why is the acai berry the world’s #1 superfood?  Because of its nutritional properties.  The acai berry has more antioxidants per berry than any other food in the world, it is better for your heart than red wine, and, through medical studies, has even been mentioned as a possible prevention and cure of cancer.  (See this University of Florida study for more information about the cancer claim)

Many celebrities have already discovered the weight loss and healing properties of the acai berry.  Oprah, Rachel Ray, and CBS news have all featured the acai berry on their programs.  Find out what other celebrities are enjoying the acai berry HERE.
