TIFFINY HALL ‘I'M MAKING ACOMEBACK

SHE'S BATTLED HEALTH ISSUES, INJURIES AND LOCKDOWNS, BUT THE MUCH-LOVED FITNESS TRAINER IS READY FOR HER BIG RETURN

- Sara Tapia

Storming onto our TV screens as Angel in Gladiators back in 2008, Tiffiny Hall made it clear from the get-go that she doesn’t give in without a fight. And that has never been more evident than in the past year. The 37-year-old, who made a name for herself as a trainer on The Biggest Loser before turning her attention to her own fitness brand, has had to contend with what she calls “a real string of bad luck” – a series of wrist injuries and surgeries, plus all those lockdowns. That’s not to mention her shock diagnoses of chronic fatigue syndrome and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, which she opened up about earlier this year. “I’ve had all kinds of setbacks,” Hall admits.

However, in true Tiffiny form, she hasn’t let it get her down. Speaking to WHO over Zoom from her Melbourne home, which she shares with her radio presenter hubby Ed Kavalee, 42, and their 4-year-old son Arnold, the fitness trainer is as positive and optimistic as ever.

“That’s all behind me. I’m feeling really great now and I just want to be positive and show people that you can get through without the excuses,” Hall explains. “I’ve learned some good lessons through my recovery, and one of them is that your setbacks are never as good as your comebacks. And that’s what I’m hoping I’m doing at the moment – I’m making a massive comeback.”
