Cancel the show and replace her with a reputable trainer! Jillian Michaels should replace Warner. We already know that Jillian gets results and she cares about her clients.

It's incredible that a woman like Jackie Warner used her assistant to cover up what she really said. It's one thing to admit wrongdoing (which she didn't) and quite another to cover it up.

Jackie has stooped to a new low. She is pathetic and arrogant and her show should be canceled. I will never watch it again. She is a terrible business owner and I don't know how anyone can stand to work for her.

Jackie Warner should be horrified by her own behavior. How dare she be a party to such awful behavior, and fire the innocent party. The person who should have been in trouble with Jackie is Lisa and Jackie should be really embarrassed and ashamed of her part in this situation. I will not watch it again.

I have always enjoyed many of Bravo's shows up until the recent Workout episode in which Jackie Warner disrespected her employee Brian Peeler, and his client. If Bravo, as a network continues to support this type of trash television it can be sure that it will soon be a network of the past. I hope as many viewers do, that Bravo will take a stand and promote the kind of television that inspires and entertains without compromising its integrity. Get rid of Workout!

I cannot believe the inhumanity of Jackie Warner concerning Jamie Eason. Even if she did not say the comment, she had the duty to properly handle the situation and calmly talk to Ms. Eason's trainer. She is suppose to be responsible for her gym. It is an insult to women, and cancer survivors especially. An honest apology would have at least helped the situation. Humans do stupid things everyday, but her lack of personal responsibility is amazing. I cannot see how Bravo in good could ever support or encourage such behavior by continuing to pay this woman's salary, and promoting her gym.

I am appalled at Jackie's behavior towards her clients and employees. Her comments and then failure to apologize for them nauseates me. It makes me wonder what she really thinks of her other clients and staff (not to mention the rest of us who fall short of her standards) Kudos to Propel for cancelling their sponsorship and not endorsing such blatant egomania and bias towards those who are different in appearance and opinion. Bravo should follow suit and cancel the show as well. Jackie is a disgrace to the health and exercise industry, the lesbian community and society in general. I can think of much better ways to use my time than to watch this sort of drivel ever again.

I was completely horrified when I watched this episode. I watch several programs on Bravo, and I hope that the network does the right thing in cancelling this show. Jackie is a horrible representation for the lesbian community. She obviously hates men, and that is a misrepresentation of the lesbian community. Most importantly she made degrading statements about a "client" who happens to be a breast cancer survivor. Completely insulting! It makes you wonder what she says about her other "clients"? I am impressed that Propel did the right thing by removing their sponsorship. I hope that the show's other sponsors follow suit. That is the wonderful thing about our country. If you don't believe in something, you DON'T have to support it. As a consumer, I won't be purchasing any of the products that shown during this show's airing.

I'm disgusted with Jackie Warner and her out of control ego, her insensitivity, and her extremely poor management skills. I was a fan, but I'm through with Workout. It used to be entertaining, but now its a real turn off. All these people need to get a grip and grow up.
# 643:

Workout has gone from a positive, motivating show to a platform for Jackie's own agendas. Now, instead of a positive force, we see a woman that makes out with anybody and everybody behind her girlfriend's back, a woman that makes derogitory comments about other people, a woman that gets away with "abusing" her employees and a woman that has just gone too far. Please..... let's get some quality programming in place of Jackie!

This could be a very inspiring show to people who struggle with not only weight issues, but body image issues, as well as an informative show about exercise and nutrition. It fails on all accounts. Not only is the mail focus on everyone's sex lives (who cares?), but it only serves as a vehicle for Jackie Warner to push all of her products (again, who cares?). The comments about her client were disgusting. The fact that she didn't apologize, even more disgusting. Firing a trainer who had the integrity to defend his client and friend, and standing by the employee who insulted her client is just crazy. I wish this show focused more on the clients struggles and accomplishments than on who is sleeping with who at Sky Sport. What a waste. Give Peeler a show.

Ms. Warner has let fame and fortune go to her head. The comments she made about Brian's client are unforgivable.

The first time I viewed Workout, it was obvious the show was being pushed because of Jackie Warner's sexual preference which seems to be in style now. As anyone with any busness experience can see, Jackie Warner is NOT, in any shape or form, a professional business owner, she is unethical and unprofessional as far as any business standards are concerned. The type of business she is in depends totally on interaction with clients yet, not only does she condon petty criticisms of her clients by her staff who are supposed to be helping them, she participates in criticizing and making fun of a cancer victim. The producers of these shows should try airing programs about people of with character, real professionals and role models of which there are thousands to choose from. Believe it or not, many of us require a little more substance than a show whose plot centers on and revolves around an unprofessional lesbian who uses her business to hire women to be her employees and thus being in a position to exploit sexually.

I AM A DISABLSED RETIREE WHO WORKED FOR OVER 40YRS. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A MORE ARROGANT AND SELF-CENTERED "BOSS" IN ALL THOSE YEARS ON THE JOB. I HAVE BEEN A SUPERVISOR, MANAGER, WORKER BEE, AND, EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN. I HAVE HAD TO APOLOGIZE TO WORKERS UNDER MY SUPERVISION, TOO. I SURVIVED THOSE ERRORS IN MY ACTIONS BY BEING "SINCERE" IN MY APOLOGY. IF JACKIE WERE ME, I WOULD HAVE HAD TO RESIGN OR BE FIRED!, AFTER THAT EXCUSE, NOT APOLOGY, SHE HALF-HEARTEDLY MADE. GET OVER YOURSELF, JACKIE, OR WE VIEWERS WILL. I PROMISE YOU THAT!

Bravo should have apologized for Jackie's and Lisa's comments. Jackie denying her responsibility and blaming Brian for her bad behavior just made her look worse. Shame on Bravo for not standing up for what is right. Brian being fired was the final straw for me. Jackie's behavior (at least what's been shown) was appalling. Bravo, stand up & you'll get more respect from your viewers.

My lovely aunt died from breast cancer just last year. I was completely appalled with the behavior of the actions of Jackie and her weasel. This woman was a paying customer in the gym and whether they knew her situation or not, my 2 l3 year old granddaughters would have been less catty. I had always enjoyed this show-Bravo carries two of my favorite shows-I will never watch it again. It is disrespectful to all cancer survivors and the families that are left behind when the cancer wins. Take it off

I no longer have any interest in this show. Jackie Warner is a disgrace to me and many other people. I was so dissapointed in the fact that the next episode of Workout was aired on Tuesday night even though there has been such a backlash from former fans. What is Bravo thinking????? If they are even halfway smarter than they seem to be, they will dump the show now. I won't watch their network until they do.
# 630:
8:42 am PDT, May 15, Name not displayed, California
I was horrified by Jackie's callousness and unprofessionalism regarding her and her office manager's offensive remarks about a person working out in her gym. I was even more offended by how Jackie handled things afterwards, in refusing to take responsibility and refusing to discuss the situation with said client's trainer, Brian Peeler, and then firing him. Jackie is out of control this season, so obnoxious and offensive. I have stopped watching this show and urge Bravo to cancel it entirely.
# 629:

gyms are for fitness and to insult a breast cancer survivor on her breasts who is by the way in great shape is horrifying, it makes you wonder if that is how they speak of a fitness model what does jackie think of the heavy people who work out there, is she disgusted by them, If bravo is reputable, they will not even air the rest of the season, BOYCOTT

It's clear Jackie Warner does not find her behavior unacceptable and continues to stand by her actions. Defending blatant disrespect against this female client is acceptable and appalling. Whether this show is canceled or not, I won't be watching. I hope Bravo has learned what goes beyond their viewers boundaries.

I was OUTRAGED at Jackie Warner's conduct regarding the comments she witnessed and giggled with at the expense of a client of her gym, particularly when it became known that the client, Jamie Eason, is a Breast Cancer survivor. I lost my mother 3 years ago to this disease and have absolutely zero tolerance for such conduct. She is on Bravo and as such is held to a higher standard as to professional conduct. Her insensitivity to the situation disgusts me. I will no longer watch this show ever again. Mr. Peeler was a wonderful advocate for his client and as such was fired. I believe he probably has grounds for a lawsuit for a hostile work enviorment. Get rid of Jackie Warner and make ammends.

Ms. Warner's behavior is despicable. When she allows her employees to discuss and berate her customers, it displays a complete lack of authority and personal restraint. I am disgusted Bravo uses this woman as a model of a strong, self-reliant female. Please remove this show from your programming.
# 620:

Jackie Warner is a disgrace to Bravo TV and the profession of body building/training. Whether she made the comments about a client's breasts or her employee did so, by not addressing the issue and stopping the conversation, she tacitly agreed with it. Furthermore, her refusal to issue an apology is disgraceful. I urge Bravo to not renew this show. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Jackie has turned this show into nothing but her own personal dating service and now she can't even admit to her terrible and offensive comments she made. Many of my friends watch this show and we all agree that we will no longer watch. I hope someone sues her for sexual harassment.

No room on television for a show featuring a person who would make fun of a cancer survivor and then blame the producers for editing it to look that way. Lisa mentions that Jackie did make comments about the person but did not apologize.

This show has definitely gotten worse over time. It began as a show about trainers who were devoted to helping clients...now it's just a show about what happens to the "popular jocks" from high school who belittle everyone else just to feel superior.

When I watched this episode, I could not believe how fired up I got upon hearing what Ms. Warner said and did. Thank God I am not the only one who felt this way, it shows that the majority of people are kind hearted and respectful of others. Jackie is not one of those people. When she would not let Peeler bring up the situation in her office and then fired him, I could see right through her. She did NOT want that on camera, because she knew she did wrong. She thought by making it seem like it was all Peeler, she weaseled her way out the mess. But if she knew how she made the viewers feel, I hope she will stand up and admit the wrong doing. Having had a sibling pass away from cancer, really upset me that someone would be so cruel and inconsiderate toward a cancer survivor. I wish Peeler all the best and hope Bravo will make right the situation. Kudos to Propel water.

In my opinion, WORKOUT has become a worthlesss show. The fact that BravoTV chose to air the episode causing this controvery says something about their lack of judgment as well. Of the entire cast, Brian seems like a decent guy. Many of the rest are shallow, narcissistic individuals with over-inflated egos. It's embarassing to watch Ms. Warner's crude behavior and never-ending quest for new bed partners. Her ego seems boundless. The show has gone from mildly interesting to truly tasteless. I plan to contact the show's advertising sponsors directly and express my opinion of the show they have chosen to invest their advertising budget in. And as a side note, I have survived two breast cancer diagnoses, two mastectomies and two rounds of chemotherapy.

I adore Bravo and once adored Work Out. Jackie Warner came out fierce giving me a sense of strength as a woman. She captivated me with her attitude and inner strength, honesty, and with sharing her personal struggle. This show is no longer about working out. Yes, if it was only about working out, nobody would tune in, drama plays an important factor on some level. However, comments which are not only harsh, but outrageous and a show that openly allows for and encourages steriotyping of genders and sexual identity's should not be tolerated any longer. Please let the viewers work out with someone else!!!

I believe that people can make a callous statment and that does not make them a bad person but somehow who has displayed bad judgment. However to not admit that a mistake was made and then not attempt to correct it but insstead try to sweep it in the carpet shows bad judgement beyond forgiveness.It demands ACCOUNTABILITY! Jackie must be made to be accountable for this bad judgement call and true error in behavior.

Jackie Warner engaged in inappropriate behavior in the episode in question and was even more offensive in her quest to shirk accountability for her actions. Please, Bravo, do not continue to reward her for this breach
