Good news for fatties: Biggest Loser weight-loss resort now open

By JEFF KOYEN

Flabby fans of The Biggest Loser can now enjoy the reality show experience without the reality show. In a partnership with NBC Universal, Utah’s Fitness Ridge Resort & Spa has been rebranded as The Biggest Loser Resort at Fitness Ridge. For $2,000 per week, portly members of the public can now enjoy the same rigorous routines that helps the reality-show contestants shed unwanted pounds. The program includes monitored exercise regiments, nutrition education, etc, etc and so on and so forth.

Two quibbles.

1) The resort’s mantra:

expand

“Expand”? Really?!

2) I understand that many web ads are inserted automatically, but someone should make a call about this:

fattySite

‘Biggest Loser’ now a resort — chicagotribune.com.

About Me

I'm the former editor-in-chief of New York Press, senior editor of Forbes Traveler, associate editor of The Prague Pill (R.I.P.). Everything started with an angry little zine called Crank, 1994-2000. I founded 100 Words in 2001; it's still running strong at 100words.com with several million published words. I've spent a lot of time in a lot of places, including Prague, Bangkok and countless hotels of varying quality. One year, I slept in 120 different beds.

I've written for the New York Times, New York magazine, Forbes Insights, Radar, Good, Wired, the New York Post, The Guardian, Men's Journal, Penthouse, Maxim UK, Fortean Times and some others. I've sold an as yet unproduced screenplay to some folks in the U.K., and I've got another about to make the rounds.

Most of my work is at www.fineorsuperfine.com
