Alison Sweeney, host of The Biggest Loser, recently had a run-in with one of the show’s super trainers, literally. On The Bonnie Hunt show, the reality TV host told how during one of her gym sessions she met Bob Harper, who is notoriously known for pushing contestants further than they thought they could.

“I was about to start crying,” Alison said on the show. “I was running so hard, and I was like ‘I’m short, I’ve got short legs!’ He had me at a 10 elevation, at level 10, running 10 miles per hour for over 10 seconds.”

Alison later admitted that Bob pushing her did actually help her. Now she knows how far she can push herself the next time she’s on the treadmill.
