Michael Thurmond is a master body sculptor and
rapid weight loss expert who has been transforming the bodies of thousands of
satisfied clients, including numerous celebrities, over the last twenty-five
years through his own customized “blueprinting” technique.
As a testament to his success, Michael has most
recently been sought out by the producers of the hit ABC reality series,
"Extreme Makeover," to customize diet and exercise programs that will quickly
help their participants attain the bodies of their dreams. For many of the
patients who wish to undergo plastic surgery procedures as part of their
“Extreme Makeover”, it is imperative that they adhere to Michael’s customized
diet and exercise program prior to and after surgery.
In the early 1980’s, Michael Thurmond’s “ 6 Week
Body Makeover" started in San Francisco and was an immediate success. “I
believe that when you’re really good at something, people take notice,” said
Michael, after receiving an incredible amount of publicity. He made the front
page of the San Francisco Chronicle as well as a supplement piece in the Sunday
Examiner. He was a guest on many talk shows. Every one he touched was changed,
and people noticed!
Michael discovered the importance of how his mind
and proper eating could change his body and physique at a very early age. "I
had a painful childhood as a fat, nerdy kid who ate for emotional fulfillment.
I learned the power of changing myself through diet, cardiovascular exercise
and weight training.” He mastered his own body and later won many bodybuilding
titles. Offers Michael, “Now I can translate that power for our clients, and
that is a very special opportunity and responsibility that I take very
seriously.”
Relocating to Los Angeles in 1989, once again,
word of mouth endorsements allowed the Body Makeover program to blossom, and it
soon became well established in the L.A. area. Michael currently employs more
than 80 trainers in over 25 locations throughout Southern California. All the
trainers have been personally schooled for 6 months to one year in Michael’s
methodology.
In the year 2000, Michael along with Provida Life
Sciences developed the Michael Thurmond’s 6 Week Body Makeover infomercial and
product that has been one of the highest performing infomercials since its
inception. With regular appearances on Home Shopping Network, Michael has heard
from people all over the country who tell him, “I thought this was just another
gimmick, but when I did the program, it really works! I now have the body that
I always dreamed of.”
This past year, he incorporated his successful
program and anti-aging approach into a unique spa experience called “Michael
Thurmond’s Spa Body Makeover” at the relaxing, beachfront Loews Hotel
in Santa Monica, California. As Michael describes the experience, “It’s like
checking into a cocoon and coming out a beautiful butterfly.”
Michael has been featured in such press outlets
as People Magazine, the Los Angeles Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, Orange
Coast Magazine, as well as KABC-TV and FOX 11 News in Los Angeles.
It’s not a coincidence that Michael’s 6 Week Body
Makeover programs and ABC Television’s “Extreme Makeover” are big hits with the
public. Michael’s goal has been to help people lose weight and reshape their
bodies. His clients are a measure of Michael’s success.
