The company also announced that celebrity fitness guru Joel Harper has officially joined as spokesperson for the company’s CleanSeries product line.

For 18 years, Harper has been developing successful, customized personal-training workouts based mainly on simple exercises that produce immediate results. His clients range from Dr. Oz to Olympic medalists to “moms and dads” just trying to improve their family’s health. Harper created all the personal workout chapters for the New York Times’ bestselling “You” book series and the accompanying workout DVDs with Drs. Mehmet Oz and Michael Roizen, as well as the popular FIT PACK DVD.

Harper’s unique personal fitness workouts have been featured on various programs including “ABC News,” “FOX News,” “Oprah,” the “Dr. Oz Show,” and “Good Morning America,” as well as in magazines like O and Esquire.

“My clients are constantly asking me for advice about nutrition and supplements,” notes Harper. “They ask, ‘Do I need supplements if I eat healthy already?’ My answer is always ‘YES,’ because it is tough to consistently eat a well-balanced diet and you want to make sure you get enough protein and nutrition every single day. But until I was introduced to Twinlab’s CleanSeries products, I never had a great answer to the inevitable follow up question: ‘What supplement do you recommend?’ Now I do. With CleanSeries, athletes at any skill level – from elite-level training for competition to the mom or dad working hard on the treadmill – can all truly improve their performance and see results faster with this amazing product line.”

Twinlab and Harper will be holding three 20-minute events over the course of Expo West, a major industry trade show: March 8 at 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. and March 9 at 2 p.m., which will include Joel’s tips for staying fresh on the Expo show floor, information about CleanSeries, and a Q&A session.
