On Saturday, March 24th, New Balance North Shore (Highland park, IL) was hosting a special appearance and presentation by Bernie Salazar and I was so lucky to be a part of this awesome event. Bernie is one of the most well-known and celebrated Chicago-area contestants from the popular reality TV show “The Biggest Loser.” Bernie was the at-home winner from season five, when he lost an astounding 130 lbs. He shared his incredible story on how his life changed for the better since he transformed his body and lifestyle. He is now dedicated to sharing his perspectives on wellness with others so “we can all get healthy together”, and he has just written a new book for kids who are struggling with obesity.
Bernie was meeting customers at New Balance North Shore with his open heart, they talked and shared their stories..Then, Bernie gave a beautiful inspiring speech where he once more shared his own story and his goals and motivations with others.
That day nobody left the store without a positive healthy outlook and a special bag of gifts from the store!!
I myself had a great talk with Bernie and I must say that he was a real pleasure to talk to and is one of the most inspirational people I have ever met.
