America's Next Great Trainer
America's Next Great Trainer was to have been a reality TV series which followed a stable of trainers who competed to see who could help their clients improve their fitness.[1] Impresario Rob Fletcher told listeners to "Think of it as American Idol for fitness trainers."[2][3]
Fletcher, a fixture in the world of fitness training, said he secured agreement from Harley Davidson and other firms, that they were interested in sponsoring the series.[1] He claims that he had an agreement with another prominent fitness trainer, Todd Durkin, to serve as one of the show's hosts.[4] He claims that Durkin had signed a non-disclosure agreement, but later shopped the idea for the show himself. Fletcher also approached Hollywood insiders, including Sylvester Stallone, for further support to develop the series.[5]
Police officer and fitness expert Samantha Sepulveda appeared in a 2014 promotional video for the series.[6]
He later sued Stallone, Durkin, and others associates, when they introduced the TV series Strong, which he claimed was "startlingly similar" to his own proposals.[7][8][9][10][5][4][11][12][13]

Fletcher ging twee jaar terug de boer op met America's Next Great Trainer. De personal trainer bood het idee onder meer aan Stallone's publicist aan en ook aan een vertegenwoordigerskantoor dat werkt voor de acteur. Tot slot is het volgens Fletcher ook opmerkelijk dat een van de trainers van Strong voorheen verbonden was aan America's Next Great Trainer, maar een jaar geleden van de radar verdween om vervolgens terug te keren bij de show van Stallone.
