TV show description:
This competition series follows contestants as they embark on a transformative journey to find a balance between mind and body as they work to “get strong.” Professional volleyball player and fitness expert Gabrielle Reece hosts the program.
Each looking to improve herself mentally and physically, 10 women from all walks of life work with 10 elite male fitness trainers. The contestants train in pairs and work to conquer a series of challenges that push them to their limits.
In each episode, the two-person teams train together and compete in multiple physical challenges that incorporate a number of formidable obstacles. The challenges put them to the test in the areas of strength, endurance and mental stamina.
As the contestants strive to dominate the courses and the competition, they see flab turn to muscle, doubt turn to confidence, and weakness turn to strength.
Each week one team is eliminated, and at the end of every episode, their transformational journey is shown.
At the end of the season, the winning team takes home up to $500,000.
Episode #10 – The Final Showdown
The two remaining teams are pushed to their absolute limits in three punishing legs of the Strong finals. Every ounce of mental fortitude and acquired strength is on display as they fight tooth and nail for the right to take home their prize money and be crowned the winner of “Strong.”
First aired: June 2, 2016
What do you think? Do you like the Strong TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Loved strong
Wife and I Love it!! Bring on season 2 we stayed up until almost 3am to watch the full series on Netflix! Bring it back!!!
I just read that the network and Sylvester Stallone are being sued by a trainer, for upwards of $7 mil for “stealing his idea”. I’m sure that has everything to do with not renewing the show. Hopefully they’ll win/settle the suit and make another season or do another show similar. And I agree with what others have said. They must not have advertised at all. I had never heard of it until I found it on Netflix.
Found this a couple of nights ago on Netflix and immediately shared it with my daughters. My husband and I stayed up until 3 in the morning to finish watching – it was THAT good! (Amazing Race has been the only other show that has had that effect on us.) I’m sorry it only had one season. I would love to see more.
I started watching this show by myself thinking that it looked interesting since I love watching fitness type shows and documentaries on Netflix. After watching two episodes I told my little brother and mom they were watching it with me! This show was absolutely amazing. Literallly every episode we were on our feet screaming as if we were there in person. I hope that this show can some how be renewed. Netflix could decide to pick the show up if the ratings weren’t high enough on normal cable television. BRING STRONG BACK!!!
I strongly believe this show should be renewed and I would absolutely love to become part of it!
Nooooooooooo! Why didn’t they do another season? I just watched season 1 on Netflix and couldn’t believe there isn’t another. Please do more. I never watch reality tv and most other fitness shows are about just getting skinny fast, but this show was brilliant!! I also never write stuff like this but I felt I had to. This needs a season two!
Just recently found this on Netflix and LOVE IT!!! Then I realized that it had one season and never returned. So disappointing. For once, a reality that exemplifies courage, strength, discipline and a boost in self esteem for women that face so many obstacles as women. I loved the challenges and found them to inspire me to want to do more in my workouts. I realize I could do more! I HATE most reality shows. I mean common, we don’t need more housewives who have never faced adversity and have scads of money, and then there are teen pregnancies, now… Read more »
I saw this on Netflix, and was sorely disappointed to find out that it was cancelled. Biggest loser, glorifying terrible health habits, was on for YEARS. This show comes on and does what looks like healthy transformations, and it gets cancelled after one season? Not fair. Show people getting healthy, not thin!
I think this show should have been renewed. I am super upset that they didn’t renew it but I can only hope. It’s only been a year, they still have time. BTW purple was my favorite ever since they beat red. What Nichole did for Jasmine (Gray) was amazing. I think they should keep the same coaches. I love Mat’s training style. Purple all the way.
I am so mad that they stopped it it was such a good show and I’m disappointed on the reason
I just found the show on Netflix and I love it!!! I hate that it has been cancelled!!!
I just discovered this show on Netflix since I don’t have tv. I am so sad to know it is cancelled. I liked it better than The Biggest Loser because the contestants were not just sent packing off to home when losing. They got to stay on a different site with continued support and fitness training. I wanted to see if there was a way for me to try out for the show
i love this show and the drama incorporated!
This show was so good & i loved how they incorporated drama and just not being fit
