Doug Blasdell: trainer on Bravo's "Work Out" dies suddenly

| | Comments (0) |

This is shocking news. Doug Blasdell, a trainer on Bravo's reality series "Work Out," died over the weekend after an abrupt hospitalization. He was just 44 and was openly gay on the show.

"He was an inspiring trainer, an exuberant colleague who made the gym a very fun place each and every day and was extraordinarily warm in all aspects of his life. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to his many friends and colleagues at this very difficult time."

The people they picked represent our community very well. I mean, there's drama, of course. There is in any community. But the three of us give different examples of what it is to be gay. And none of it is negative."
