There’s no easy way to sum up Destination Fit<\/a><\/strong>, the new venture from David Norton, a former producer of several seasons of The Biggest Loser<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and the Miss Universe pageant, among other large-scale happenings. But the closest way to describe the venture might be along the lines of “American Idol for the fitness industry.”<\/p>\n

\"Destination<\/a><\/p>\n

In short, Norton’s goal is to help bring obscure but talented fitness instructors into the spotlight.<\/p>\n

So how, exactly, does Destination Fit work? Workout pros with all sorts of backgrounds\u2014from Pilates to bootcamp to indoor cycling\u2014are invited to upload a full-length workout as an audition tape. They compete for votes against all of the other trainers who submit videos; when 12,000 total votes are cast the round is over and a winner is named.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What’s in it for the winner of each round? Not only do they receive a check for $5,000, they also get to choreograph and star in a multiple-DVD 90-day workout series (a la P90X<\/a><\/strong>) that will be distributed nationwide. What’s more, they also get a significant cut of the sales (20% vs. somewhere in the single digits) and have a pretty good chance of becoming a celebrity trainer<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Votes for Destination Fit cost $5 a pop\u2014there are big discounts on purchasing multiple votes, including a reduced price for the resulting workout, which will likely retail for somewhere between $100 and $200. Full rules for auditioners are on the site.<\/p>\n
