:"In the pilot episode, Warner was a bit self-conscious and stiff. But as time goes on she learns to loosen up and live with the constant presence of the cameras, and her story and drama unfold more naturally as the show becomes increasingly riveting."

===Controversial May 2008 episode===

The May 6, 2008 episode of Season 3 of ''Work Out'' created much controversy: Jackie and her SkySport office manager Lisa were overheard in Jackie's office gossiping negatively about the physical appearance of trainer Brian Peeler's client. Brian and his client were both working out several feet away from the office. The client turned out to be well-known fitness model and breast cancer survivor [[Jamie Eason]]. Negative comments were made regarding Jamie's breast implants and were overheard by Eason's boyfriend, who was right outside Jackie's office, unbeknownst to Jackie. The actual footage was not shown by Bravo, but Jamie's boyfriend Rich Luzzi, as well as Jamie Eason herself, have stated that Jackie made most of the negative comments and Lisa only chimed in.{{Fact|date=June 2008}} Lisa said later in her Bravo blog that Jackie was heard making negative comments by Jamie Eason's boyfriend.<ref>[http://www.bravotv.com/Work_Out/season/3/blogs/index.php?blog=lisa_skyles&article=2008/05/lisa_304_images BRAVOtv.com : Work Out : Season 3 : Blogs : lisa<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

Jackie denied making any comments herself, both in her on-the-air commentary and on her Bravo blog after the episode aired, and said the negative comments were made only by her assistant Lisa.<ref>[http://www.bravotv.com/Work_Out/season/3/blogs/index.php?blog=jackie_warner&article=2008/05/jackie_104_images BRAVOtv.com : Work Out : Season 3 : Blogs : jackie<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> When Brian Peeler tried to discuss the situation with her, Jackie refused to discuss it and fired Brian. This turn of events, when aired, caused a media maelstrom of protests, petitions, and calls to cancel ''Work Out'' due to perceived inappropriate workplace behavior by Jackie, her alleged attempts to deflect blame and to cover up her supposed part in the situation, and her lack of an apology. The episode aired on May 6, and by May 9 [[Gatorade]], a major sponsor of the show, dropped its sponsorship and publicly criticized the comments about a breast cancer survivor made on the program.<ref>[http://www.gaywired.com/article.cfm?id=18973&section=67 Lesbian Fitness Guru Jackie Warner Needs a New Sponsor<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
