Tamilee Webb – American Fitness Sensation
Tamilee’s knowledge and acquired experience, combined with her contagious energy, and effervescent personality, have made her an ideal guest speaker on top-rated television talk shows, including VH1 Booty Call, NBC’s Weekend Today, Entertainment Tonight, KTLA Morning News, The Today Show, The Other Half, Home Matters, “E” Entertainment and The BIG Idea on CNBC. Her well-toned body has graced the covers of Shape Magazine, Home Gym and Fitness Magazine, and Diet and Exercise Magazine, and she has been featured in S.D. Sports and Fitness, Fit Magazine, Men’s Fitness Magazine, Vogue, American Fitness, and Billboard.
Tamilee realizes the impact that she has on those who rely on her to maintain and improve their health and fitness, and she takes her responsibility seriously. Her videos are released to the public only after having undergone extensive scientific testing and research as to their safety and effectiveness. She is always aware of the fact that people of different body types and levels of fitness follow her exercise programs. With this in mind, she does not treat her responsibility lightly. No workout video is released to the public without first receiving E.M.G. approval. Product and equipment receive her endorsements only after serious scrutiny to their quality and results. Seen on her most recent infomercial is one of her newest and approved finds, the Ab-Away Pro abdominal exercise machine.
Besides her love for fitness, Tamilee is a constant activist for animals. You’ll most likely find her adopted three legged rescues Shih Tzu named Izzabella Cinderella; “Izzie” for short with her on stage, in classes and speaking appearances promoting her ‘PAWS OF STEEL’ workout.
