Greta Blackburn

Greta Blackburn began her career as a television and movie actress in New York City.

She moved to LA and immediately landed the co-host spot on the NBC pilot "Roadshow" with John Candy, Julie Brown and Rick Overton. Greta then began to guest star in Hollywood on numerous television shows. In commercials, she starred as the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut girl and the bathing beauty for Eclipse sunscreen commercials.

Greta was featured in the super popular sci-fi mini-series "V: The Final Battle" as Lorraine, a good lizard. Greta garnered much attention in the hit movie "48 Hrs." and as Jennifer, the hardhat on Dex's oilfield on "Dynasty" where her character had run-ins with Joan Collins' "Alexis."

After years of success in show business, Greta made a career about-face and found a way to indulge her notoriety as an actress, her love of physical fitness, and her schooling in communications to bring a message of health and fitness to the people of America. She was Editor-In-Chief of Natural Body and Fitness Magazine from 1988-1990. During that time she co-founded Fitness Against Drugs, an anti-drug foundation that promotes physical fitness as an alternative "hip" lifestyle for teens.

She also served as Editor of the LA Times supplement "California Health", sponsored by a large group of independent pharmacies bringing health and information to the Southern California public.

She is currently the founding Editor of Ms. Fitness Magazine. Ms. Fitness promotes physical fitness to women across the world and is "sister" to the widely televised Ms. Fitness USA specials. As a proponent and judge of these contests, Greta serves as an ambassador of health and fitness to females of all ages and backgrounds. Her appearances as host on the televised Ms. Fitness USA and Ms. Fitness World contests are seen by millions of viewers every year on Fox SportsNet.

As a writer on health and fitness issues, Greta has covered topics ranging from ways to help prevent breast cancer to eating disorders to high-tech strategies for fat-burning. She co-authored the book "Cory Everson's LifeBalance".

Greta's work as Founder/Director of Greta Blackburn's FITCAMPS, which took place for over 15 years in locations ranging from Malibu, Maui, and Mexico to Las Vegas served as training symposiums for fitness professionals and other interested men and women from all over the world. Seminars included information on training, nutrition, disease prevention, longevity and other valuable health topics.

Blackburn is also at the vanguard of a burgeoning "Fitness after 50" trend that keeps her busy with speaking engagements and appearances. She has been seen promoting health and fitness products on QVC and The Shopping Channel.

Greta has been seen in appearances on "Soap Talk", "Entertainment Tonight", "EXTRA", "Hard Copy", "Good Day LA", and dozens of other television appearances. She appeared for several seasons as the health and fitness expert for the Home & Garden Channel's "Smart Solutions".

Greta has worked as a spokesperson for various health and supplement companies. She has served on the City of Hope's special advisory board to their "Workout With The Stars Against Aids" and has produced a pamphlet for the Los Angeles Times' California Health supplement called "The Safe Six For Safe Sex" as a free public Aids awareness brochure. She is a founding member of Southern Touch Food Products Health Council, a member of The American Association of University Women, and has been featured in Who's Who of American Women.

Her whole life's career has now culminated in what she considers her biggest role of all: an opportunity to use real science to help people win the race against time. As Lifestyle Coach for The T.A. Sciences Center Greta provides those undergoing the T.A. Protocol the additional benefits of her years of expertise as a health, wellness, and fitness pro.
