Where in the world?

If you haven't noticed, new posts have been a bit, well, lacking. And for that, I offer my apologies. I don't let this happen too often, but it appears I got caught up in a bit more than I could chew for a couple of weeks. With that, however, I'm back and revved up for the continuing saga that is Work Out.

In the words of Greg Plitt, "And every single one of you has enriched my life, and I hope that maybe I've enriched your life, and I think we've all enriched each other's lives through the process." It would seem that Plitt did some enriching in Renessa's life.

After watching that, I'm convinced Renessa didn't have to try too hard to play Britney in that little skit in the bar. They're night came to a close as Agostina and Gregg watched Greg and Renessa rush off to his room. "I saw a man in his underwear and someone who was very happy to see him in his underwear," says Gregg. I couldn't have said it better myself. I'm trying to figure out what happened with Erika. I thought there might be something there. I guess I was wrong.

The kicker for me was Renessa's comments after her 'apology' to Jackie for coming to boot camp with dry mouth:
"I apologized, but at the same time, I'm thinking, "I'm a grown woman. I don't have to apolo — I'm of age." It's unrealistic for people to see someone like me and think that I run 20 miles a day and that I never kick back. It's much more inspirational for people to see that, "Oh look. Oh, she can have a good time, too, and still … she can have it all!" Even Greg. [giggles]

What? I don't know about you, but I've never been inspired by a grown woman, with half a brain, getting smashed and laid, all while having an 11-year old at home and knowing she has to be at work at 5:00am. Yea, that's inspiring. Not.

Plitt, as punishment from Jackie, gets assigned Deenie for the Sky Lab project. I guess Deenie and the other Greg just weren't 'bonding.' Greg doesn't quite get it. But he will.

Jackie's back and sporting a new do and crew

Season 3 premiered Jackie's new hairdo, longer (but not long) locks that add a little femininity to the alpha male persona she represents so well. Not only that, she's also sporting a new crew. Not entirely of course, but new trainers and a new girlfriend. So, who's new and who didn't come back from the previous seasons? Keep reading.

Down and out
First things first, let's get this one over with. Zen Gray fans might not like this, but she's not back. For reasons that escape me, our wonderful little Zen didn't return to what appears to be the most dramatic Work Out season to date. Maybe that's why. Our man Andre Riley is also not back for the third season.

Who's in?
Work Out fans were treated to some new faces Tuesday night, and they didn't disappoint. Not only are they beautiful but fiery as well. Here's a brief look at the new crew:

Agnostina Laneri
Born and raised in Buenos Aires, Agostina is a 26-year-old Argentinean who is not afraid to speak her mind. Her love and interest in fitness began at the age of 15 when she started training in martial arts. At the age of 19 she decided to pursue her love for the fitness industry in Hawaii. After obtaining an extensive education and certifications she began working at five star hotels in Maui. Her clientele now ranges from professionals to celebrities.

Since winning Bravo's Hollywood & Highland competition to join Jackie's gym as a trainer, she has enjoyed a flourishing career at Sky Sport & Spa, and has even enjoyed some flirtatious fun with her new boss, Jackie.

Agostina's Fitness Philosophy: Don't stop 'til you drop.

Greg Plitt
The former Army Ranger, All-American Wrestler, and Master Fitness Trainer grew up in Baltimore Maryland. Aside from his rock-hard abs and successful fitness career, Greg has been involved in a number of different activities throughout his life. This jack of all trades is certified in scuba, airborne, air assault, combat lifesaver and hand-to-hand combat. He's a sponsored athlete with MET-Rx Nutrition and is currently the spokesperson for the Under Armour performance apparel.

Greg's career in the fitness profession began when he was approached in Washington, D.C. to do a cover for Muscle and Fitness Magazine where he was inspired to continue on the road of fitness and training.

Greg's abs of steel have adorned more than 50 fitness magazine covers and he considers himself somewhat of a celebrity in the field. His body will have the male trainers envious and the female trainers salivating. His mere presence will heat up the gym as he is determined to stir things up at Sky Sport & Spa.

Greg's fitness philosophy: Fitness is not about the vanity of what you see in the mirror, but the transformation of how you feel on the inside. It is a lifestyle and process that excels oneself in all theaters of life through a mind and body connection. When you are physically fit and feel in shape, everything else in life is easier.

JD Jordan
JD is a tall, dark and handsome Los Angeles native. He's been a masseur to many of Hollywood's leading artists and now wants to take his newfound passion for personal training to the next level. He's looking to Jackie to take him under her wing and show him what it takes to be a top trainer in a very competitive world. He is currently working on his Pilates certification.

In JD's personal life, he's looking for an intelligent, masculine guy that will rock his world and says he's sick of choosing men that need to be saved. JD wears his heart on his sleeve, and too often that's what gets him in trouble.

Renessa Williams
This bubbly South Dakotan is all smiles. As a single mom of an 11-year-old, she is looking for the right guy. She's trained alongside Brian Peeler for years and considers him a brother and confidant. Unfortunately, she has no idea that her ties with him may put her in jeopardy with her new boss, Jackie.

Renessa is fitting in well at Sky Sport & Spa. Her fearlessness and drive have paid off with her clients, who find her to be a humorous and positive role model in the fitness world. Her outdoorsy attitude would rival most adventurers, and she has a knack for learning new things, whether it's the guitar or dancing.

Renessa has also worked with renowned health and wellness expert, Mike Torchia, who has trained celebrities like Matt Damon, Al Pacino and Kevin Spacey, among others.

Renessa's Fitness Philosophy: Exercise! Mental and physical health is of the greatest importance. Get obsessed with being healthy and become an addict for life.
