Donna Richardson Joyner Recently Re-Appointed to The President’s Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition Under President Obama

New York, NY – October 13, 2010 – Fitness icon Donna Richardson Joyner has teamed up with Beachbody®, the recognized leader in home-based fitness and weight loss products, to create a new faith-based fitness and nutrition program called Body Gospel.  As a first-of-its-kind and unique in its category, Body Gospel makes it possible for people to combine the power of their faith with their desire to lose weight and get fit. With Body Gospel, users work out to spiritual affirmations and uplifting songs to overcome the obstacles that undermined previous attempts to lose weight. Available nationally on October 12, 2010, Body Gospel can be purchased at www.bodygospelprogram.com and through a national network of Team Beachbody coaches.

After the success of Donna Richardson Joyner’s number-one-selling Sweating in the Spirit fitness video, Beachbody® tapped her to develop and star in an accessible, spiritual-based program for all fitness levels.  By combining inspirational music – re-recordings of Gospel favorites like “Hallelujah (The Highest Praise),” “You Brought the Sunshine,” “Lift Him Up,” and “The Presence Of The Lord” performed by a gospel choir – with a cutting-edge fitness and nutrition regime, she was able to create a wellness program that helps real people with real fitness challenges achieve their goals.

“At Beachbody® we pride ourselves on finding ways to help every segment of the population overcome obstacles that stand in their way,” says Carl Daikeler, Beachbody CEO. “We felt that people who find their strength through their faith would appreciate a weight loss program that allowed them to tap into that strength to get their health back. Donna’s experience combining faith and fitness is unique, and resulted in a very special program that is already helping to reverse the trend of obesity in markets where it is needed the most.”

“For the past 20 years, I have traveled to over 30 countries helping people get healthier,” says Donna Richardson Joyner, fitness expert and creator of Body Gospel.  “I had worked with the rich, the poor, the overweight, the undernourished, the reluctant, the willing.  But my greatest challenge was here: my family, my church, my community, our country.  Partnering with Beachbody® gave me the freedom and opportunity to explore what most people have ignored.  When it came to finding a way to motivate the large portion of my community who were reluctant to exercise or eat right, what we noticed was that there was one missing ingredient that might help many people finally succeed, ‘God.’  By incorporating a person’s faith into staying consistent with exercise and eating right, we found that people can break unhealthy patterns and actually succeed!”


Donna Richardson Joyner’s seven workouts in the Body Gospel program incorporate cardio, strength and interval training and flexibility.  Included is a special bonus Body Gospel LIVE! workout, with original music provided by a LIVE gospel choir.  As the only workout video of its kind to feature a live choir, Body Gospel LIVE!delivers an inspirational rendition of the top gospel hit “Thank You Lord.”  The seven Body Gospel workouts include:

·     Body Revival: A calorie-blasting cardio workout that lifts the spirit while slimming and energizing the body.

·     Core Revelation: Targets abs and slims hips and thighs.

·     Stretch in the Spirit: A strength and flexibility workout that increases flexibility, reduces stress, and reinvigorates the body.

Also included in the Body Gospel program is The Body Gospel Nutrition Guide, The Total Transformation Guide – which contains a personal 30-day workout calendar, a journal and success tracker, 10 Body Gospel Fitness Training Cards, a 3-Day Jump-Start Plan and a set of breakthrough Pro-grade Body Gospel Resistance Bands to help engage the core with the upper and lower body-all at the same time.  Unlike traditional resistance bands, the new Body Gospel Bands attach to the feet to provide a wider variation of movement that enhances the calorie- and fat-burning of all workouts – including the strength and flexibility training programs.

Re-appointed to The President’s Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition’s under President Obama this September, Donna Richardson Joyner continues to spread the word of good health, healing, hope, and happiness not only with Body Gospel but also with her everyday life.
