Meet Ali Vincent
Read our interview with Ali in the You24 online magazine!
Ali Vincent, a hairdresser from Mesa, Arizona, is the first woman to win NBC’s “The Biggest Loser.” By shedding nearly 48 percent of her body weight, Ali won $250,000 and transformed her life.
Back in her youth, Ali Vincent was a synchronized swimming champion. Ali slowly gained weight during her 20’s, leaving behind the body of a competitor. At 234 pounds, she finally decided to turn her life around by competing on Season 5 of NBC’s “The Biggest Loser.”
Being voted off “The Biggest Loser” in Week 4 didn’t faze Ali, who continued to train at home and lost another 33 pounds. Ali then won her way back on the show where she lost a total of 112 pounds.
“I am a whole new woman,” she says. “There are no limits. There are absolutely no limits and I started to dream big again.”
Ali sees this as a permanent change in her life, not just a short-lived fitness phase: “I’m going to continue to go for what I want,” she says. “My physical being is a direct representation of what I feel inside, which is strong and confident and beautiful.”
Ali also accomplished something that people didn’t think was possible when she became the first woman to win “The Biggest Loser.” Because men normally lose weight more quickly than women, the odds were against Ali. But she persevered, even after being voted off the show, and lost a larger percentage of her body weight than any other contestant.
There is perhaps no greater reward in life than meeting a great challenge. This is why 24 Hour Fitness is so proud to be a part of Ali Vincent’s amazing journey. In earning the title of the NBC’s Biggest Loser, she won so much more. She overcame all odds. She never gave up. And in the end, she lost 112 pounds. Most importantly, in her own her own words; she “regained control of her life.”
From her trials on The Biggest Loser through present day, 24 Hour Fitness supports Ali in her quest to stay healthy, strong and beautiful. From the guidance and encouragement of world-class personal training, to the incredibly supportive atmosphere of our gyms, to Ali’s daily use of the Bodybugg®, 24 Hour Fitness gives Ali the tools she needs to succeed on a daily basis. Ali brings the passion and the grit and the determination. 24 Hour Fitness is the place where it all happens. As she likes to say, “24 Hour Fitness is my go to.”
