Bravo's hits series Workout returns for a third season April 15th on the the Bravo network. Yesterday we chatted with Brian Peeler to find out what we are in store for.

Mark: Brian, great to chat with you today. I told Rebecca I missed saying hi to you guys at the RealityCares event last week. We were one of the sponsors, but the place was so packed at 5’7 it was hard for me to look over the crowd and find everyone. How are you doing today?

Brian Peeler, Bravo’s Workout: I’m doing great man, no complaints, it’s a nice 56 degree morning here in Los Angeles.

Mark: You’re not from Los Angeles originally, tell the readers how you ended up there.

Brian Peeler, Bravo’s Workout: I drove from North Carolina to Los Angeles on several fill ups in my 1987 Isuzu Trooper.

Mark: Sounds like a fun ride, did the show bring you to Los Angeles?

Brian Peeler, Bravo’s Workout: I was personal training in North Carolina but it’s just not a big market for that type of work. I wanted to do some acting and modeling so I moved to Los Angeles.

Mark: What got you into personal training, have you been in the business for a while?

Brian Peeler, Bravo’s Workout: I actually started a construction company with my cousin but after we had a falling out, one of my friends suggested that I give personal training a try. Prior to personal training I had started with US Airways as a flight attendant and a few months later we had September 11th and they downsized many of us.

Mark: So how did you end up on the show?

Brian Peeler, Bravo’s Workout: While I was doing some personal training in California, I was also doing some acting and background work. I went to a place called Central Casting and eventually ended up with a spot on the show.

Mark: I started working out when I realized at age 17 that most of the girls in high school were not only taller but weighed more than I did. I was that typical 98 pound male, what got you into the gym?

Brian Peeler, Bravo’s Workout: I have always been an active guy and almost headed into the military. I was also a little guy and at 6’1 I only weighed 149 pounds. Even thought I would eat like a horse I never got any bigger so I started hitting the weights.

Mark: Can you tell viewers a little bit about what’s going to go down on Season 3.

Brian Peeler, Bravo’s Workout: You will see me as always, I am real and call people out on shit. I keep it real and stand up for what I believe in, the gloves are coming off on Season 3.

Mark: Talk with me about you and Jackie Warner, you two butted heads last season. Are you guys cool now or are we in store for some more action?

Brian Peeler, Bravo’s Workout: I don’t care much for that woman, her true colors are going to come out this season. There are a lot of people who don’t care for her and people who live in the area know her behavior and who she really is. I won’t sit here and grind her into the dirt but her true demons will come out this season.

Mark: Talk with me about your friend Doug, sorry about the loss, I know it was hard on you.

Brian Peeler, Bravo’s Workout: Doug was my best friend and an amazing man. I heard rumors Jackie felt like I used Doug’s passing for publicity. It is so stupid for her to say that since we were such good friends. Doug was going to be the best man at my wedding. Doug and I hung out whenever we had some down time.

Mark: Did you get to see Doug after he got sick prior to his passing?

Brian Peeler, Bravo’s Workout: Doug didn’t want any of us to come see him since he had lost so much weight and wasn’t the big sexy Doug everyone knew and loved. I did get to see him the day before he passed away but could not go into the room since they didn’t want any kind of germs or contamination inside. Whether or not he heard me or knew I was there doesn’t matter, I was glad I had the chance to see him one last time.

Mark: Well thanks for chatting with us, I will contact you guys in a few weeks to chat about what has gone down after a few shows.

Brian Peeler, Bravo’s Workout: Be sure you contact me after episode four, after May 6th.

Mark: I am sure you can’t tell me why but I will make sure to do so. So before we go, can people get training sessions with you even if it’s not on the show?

Brian Peeler, Bravo’s Workout: It’s hard to make room for people right now since we are doing so much press and PR but they can reach me at Brianpeeler.com or peelerbuilt.com
