'Extreme Makeover' Stars Train in Northville to Lose 300 Pounds
The Michigan couple trained for a year at Northville's Hines Park CrossFit gym.
The stars of Tuesday night's "Extreme Makeover: Weightloss Edition" were a Michigan couple who trained at a Northville gym to lose over 300 pounds.
Jason, 35, and Rachel, 34, trained at Northville's Hines Park CrossFit gym for a year to lose the weight. Trainer Chris Powell pushed the South Lyon couple to their limits, getting them to lose a combined total of 300 plus pounds.
It was Powell's first time working with a husband-and-wife team, and their first challenge was steep. He asked them to burn 7,000 calories in one day, or he wouldn't agree to work with them for the year.
Their journey was inspiring and one they didn't always think was possible.
They had gained a combined total of 350 pounds from years of overeating. Episode four of this season of "Extreme Makeover: Weightloss Edition" followed the couple for a year as they worked to lose the excess weight and delved into their personal issues along the way.
Catch them working out at Northville's Hines Park CrossFit gym on the hour and 25 minute show and see their big reveal to family and friends in downtown Plymouth.
