Jillian Michaels Lands New Fitness Competition TV Show, Contestants Gunning for $100K

Fitness queen Jillian Michaels is heading back to reality TV, but this time in a competion based format with her new show, Sweat Inc., on Spike, where contestants are gunning for the grand prize of $100,000 dollars.

The former Biggest Loser fitness trainer is back on the small screen and doing what she's most known for - a good sweaty work out. This time around, Michaels will be featured as a judge on the new fitness competion show, set to premiere on Tuesday Oct. 20 at 10 p.m. according to People.

According to the site, the show resembles a blend of Shark Tank and American Idol, where contestants, who are all entrepreneurs and believe they have the next big idea in exercise equipment or programs, will be judged by Michaels, founder of TRX Randy Hetrick and celebrity trainer Obi Obadike, to determine if they actually do. The winner will walk away with $100,000 and a feature spread in Women's Health Magazine.

Twenty seven new concepts will be presented during the show. It's not just the judges that the contestants need to convince on the success of their products, but the control groups as well. People reported that a group of people will also use the equipment and follow the programs throughout the duration of the show and track their progress.

"We're looking for mass appeal, effectiveness and innovation," stated Hetrick, according to the site.

41-year-old Michaels took to Twitter to promote the show with a featured video.

It was back in March when The Wrap first announced that Michaels was teaming up with Spike TV to make viewers at home sweat some more. According to site, viewers can look forward to 10 one-hour episodes in the show's first season.
