“The revamped version of the iconic NBC hit competition series will feature men and women competing not only to lose weight, but also improve their overall well-being. “according to the USA network’s website. “ Each episode will feature a team of experts including a trainer, chef and life coach, who will help guide the contestants as they embark on the biggest transformations of their lives.”

Lugo opened her studio, located at 773 Miamisburg Centerville Rd., in January 2019 when her personal training classes in her self-made garage gym became so popular she needed more space.

“Opening this studio is proof that you can never dream too big,” Lugo told this news organization when the studio opened. “I’ve lost 150 lbs — went from working a desk job and now I’m a nationally recognized trainer who opened her dream location helping hundreds of women become better and healthier versions of themselves. Never dream too big!”

Lugo, who is also a thyroid cancer survivor, has hundreds of thousands of social media followers and has appeared on the cover of Women’s Health Magazine.
