Heidi Powell was the co-host of ABC's hit show, Extreme Weight Loss (2011), working side by side Chris Powell to carry out their vision of transforming lives from the inside out. Heidi was the matriarch and tour de force for the often-struggling participants, serving as their daily fitness coach, voice of reason and biggest cheerleader.

Heidi is the co-author of Choose More Lose More, for Life by Chris Powell, which was released in May 2013 and immediately soared to New York Times Best Seller list. The book offers readers four different carb cycles, and twenty new workouts called Nine-Minute Missions that pack maximum results into minimum time. The Powells released their latest book in December 2015 entitled, Extreme Transformation: Lifelong Weight Loss in 21 Days, which provides a comprehensive blueprint for changing your body- and life-in just 21 days.

Heidi writes a very successful blog, where her posts include workout tips, recipes, as well as advice on parenting and how to balance it all. She has contributed articles to the "Huffington Post", as well as "Women's Health", "Self" and "Shape" magazines.

Heidi has over a decade of experience as a personal trainer, and holds both ACE and CrossFit certifications. She is co-founder of the Transform app and supplement line as well as Athia Skin. Recently she has expanded her portfolio of offerings into the personal development space, where Heidi coaches thousands through their personal life transformations, using her inside-out approach. When not traveling, she resides in Phoenix with her four children.
