For someone who doesn't watch a lot of TV, Kaged Muscle athlete and doctor of osteopathic medicine Kaleb Redden—aka Doc Thor—is going to be spending quite a bit of time on it. That's because this Hemsworth doppelganger is a contender on NBC's upcoming "Titan Games," a series where everyday heroes and professional athletes battle it out in epic physical challenges to find out who will reign supreme. The show is hosted by none other than Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and as excited as we are to see the premiere, we're even more excited to catch up with Redden and see how this local fitness star has been handling competition behind the scenes and what we can all learn from his journey.

Home Body creator and YouTube fitness sensation Kym Perfetto, aka Kym Nonstop, is no stranger to working out from home—but never like this. Like most of her fans and followers, she appreciates that social distancing means a lot of us have lost our fitness goals with the cancellation of all the races and competitions. But that's not stopping her, and she doesn't want it to stop you either. Learn why setting up an at-home workout plan is the smart thing to do right now and how to bulletproof your recovery and your nutrition to turn this fitness loss into a fitness opportunity.

As a former Bodybuilding.com Spokesmodel winner, Ashley Horner has been a fixture of the fitness industry for nearly a decade.

She's learned how to balance being a mother, an athlete, an entrepreneur, and a work horse with her simple philosophy that fitness and hard work happens "every damn day."
