Few people can be recognized by just one name. In the fitness community, Gilad is one of them. Gilad Janklowic has been an expert in the fitness industry for many years. He was one of the first personal trainers/aerobic instructors to be featured on a television show. I remember watching his first show on ESPN back in 1985 when I was just 13. I was always interesting in exercising and I loved watching his show. I think he deserves partial credit for me being a personal trainer and owning a gym!
Since he’s been on TV for 25 years, you may have seen his show. He calls it Bodies in Motion and it’s really good. In 2005 he added Total Body Sculpt with Gilad which is currently shown on FitTV. Gilad’s show is the longest running fitness show in the United States and has been shown in 80 countries!
If you haven’t seen his show and you don’t get FitTV, you can still work out with Gilad. His videos are for sale at Gilad’s Bodies In Motion or on FitTv.com. Below is a list of my favorite workouts that he currently has on video. Try one or two for something different or when you don’t feel like going to the gym. He has great energy, is very motivating and is quite creative. I’m sure you will love the variety in his workouts.
- Cuts and Curves. This video is a total body workout. You will tone every muscle! It is a 60 minute video with a nice warm up and cool down. I love doing this workout every couple of weeks to shake it up. Anyone from beginner to advanced can do it because he gives many options.
- Core and More. Let’s face it, abs are in! Gilad has great abs so it makes this video even more motivating. He does a lot of ab exercises mixed with some Pilates and even some yoga moves. You will feel your abs and lower back working during this workout. I love it!
- Interval Training with Gilad. This video is like a Boot Camp class and is definitely intermediate to advanced. It is a tough workout that gets harder and harder until you are ready to cool down. If you can’t make it to Boot Camp or don’t want to pay big bucks, this is a great option.
Gilad has many other videos such as ‘Step and Tone’, ‘Beginners Weight Loss’ and ‘Toning’. He even has a ‘Kids in Motion’ video. Check him out on TV or on his website and try one of his workouts. They are well put together, safe and effective. I bet you will love them!

"Thank you for trusting me with your body!"
I love Gilad!!! His accent cracks me up, but I agree that he is super motivating. I’ve been doing his show for years as well. I like to record the Body Sculpting with Gilad so I have it on the DVR when I need a good 30 minute sweat.
I also love that they still replay old episodes of the show. The outfits are classic!
