Jillian Michaels Reveals She Had COVID-19, Warns Fans About Dangers of Going to the Gym

Jillian Michaels has revealed that she battled coronavirus earlier this summer.

The 46-year-old fitness trainer shared in a new interview with Fox Business that she got sick after she “literally let her guard down for an hour with one of my best friends.”

Also during her interview, Jillian warned viewers about going to work out now that gyms are starting to reopen amid the pandemic.

“If you are afraid of COVID, you should not go to the gym. And I actually am a person who let my guard down, I haven’t even spoken about this publicly really, and a very close friend of mine gave me COVID several weeks ago, Jillian shared. “I’m fortunate to have gone into it being healthy and I was able to get on the other side of it pretty quick. But, not everyone is that lucky as we know.”

“And all I can tell you is if you are afraid of getting COVID, a public gym is probably a place where you will get it,” Jillian continued. “I’m fortunate to have gone into it being healthy and I was able to get on the other side of it pretty quick.

“I love her music, 100%…but why are we celebrating her body? Why does it matter? That’s what I’m saying. Why aren’t we celebrating her music? ‘Cause it isn’t gonna be awesome if she gets diabetes. I’m just being honest,” Jillian said.

“There’s never a moment where I’m like: I’m so glad she’s overweight!”

“You’ve been with me through it all so I’m sharing some news with you…Heidi and I have been split for awhile now. We’ve found we’re better friends and parents living apart than staying together,” she wrote in a post.

“Life and people change but our love for one another and commitment to raising our two kids as an inseparable team remains.”

The couple got engaged back in 2016. They have two children together, an eight-year-old daughter Lukensia, adopted from Haiti in 2012, and a six-year-old son Phoenix, 6, whom Heidi gave birth to in the same month.

Jillian Michaels Discusses Pressure on Women to Get Back to Pre-Pregnancy Bodies

Jillian Michaels looks gorgeous on the cover of the February issue of Redbook, on newsstands January 3.

Here’s what the 42-year-old personal trainer had to share with the mag:

On why she’s so committed to working out and being healthy: “I’m a 42-year-old. I still like skinny jeans. I still prefer a two-piece instead of a one-piece, but now I have two young kids. So for me, I want to be skiing down the mountain alongside my kids instead of waiting at the bottom for them. I want to see their children graduate from college. I want to meet my grandchildren’s children. These are my whys.”

On finding balance as a working parent:Maria Shriver once said something like, ‘You can do it all, but not at the same time.’ I say, ‘You can do it all, but just a little bit more s–tty.’ And that’s got to be okay!”

On aging and why she’s in better shape now than she was in her 20s: “I care more, and when you care more, you train harder and eat better. People believe that aging is this slow descent into decrepitude. That’s not true. When people say, ‘Oh, I’m 40 now, and this is happening to me and that’s happening to me,’ it’s the cumulative effect of years of neglect, which – by the way – can still be turned around.”

On why she thinks there’s too much pressure on women to get back to their pre-pregnancy bodies: “I was just talking to someone who was breast-feeding and already on a diet. I was like, ‘Dude, you’ve got to chill. If you start dropping more than two pounds a week, you’re going to compromise your milk supply.’ The reality is that you can bounce back better than ever, but time frames vary for everyone. Everybody and every pregnancy is different. If it takes you a year, who cares?”
