Forbes Riley
“You are the sum of the obstacles you overcome,” Forbes frequently says, as she turns her dreams into reality time and again.
Forbes is an author, award winning television personality, entrepreneur, creator of the SpinGym fitness sensation and one of the most sought after female keynote speakers. As a motivator and role model, Forbes has a unique connection with her audience that stems from her own personal journey.
Before becoming a media success, host of more than 100 infomercials and 20 years marketing products on home shopping channels worldwide, Forbes struggled with her own weight and her father’s unrealized dream of becoming an inventor. Crowned by the press as the $2 Billion Dollar Host, she was determined to reach her goals — and through dedication, never ending passion and hard work, she has.
Dream It. Believe It. Achieve It. Forbes Riley has created a trusted brand name for herself and is recognized internationally as an award-winning TV host, spokesperson, celebrity fitness and lifestyle expert, professional coach, keynote speaker, actress and author.
By sharing a unique and inspiring philosophy that stresses the integration of fitness, nutrition, and behavioral changes, Forbes empowers people everywhere to define and reach their personal goals, both physical and psychological and she is the true embodiment of dreaming it, believing it and achieving it.
