Since his days as "THE HAWK" on AMERICAN GLADIATORS, LEE REHERMAN has been a respected fitness expert. Whether hosting infomercials, reviewing products, speaking out against "Childhood Obesity," or producing fitness segments, Reherman's fitness expertise has been sought out for more than fifteen years.
After an All-American football career at Cornell University and a quick stint in the NFL with the Miami Dolphins, Reherman earned an MBA from UCLA's Anderson School and began his professional career at UCLA as a Ph.D Candidate and "think tank analyst." In 1993, Reherman left UCLA for the entertainment business and became “The Hawk” on AMERICAN GLADIATORS. One of his first hosting assignments was a weekly "Fitness segment" on the kids show GLADIATORS 2000; and since then he has hosted and produced over two dozen fitness shows, segments, and infomercials, been a spokesperson for countless products, and been a celebrity advocate for the "fight against Childhood Obesity." |

When I was a young pup, I used to giggle when I’d see all the old cougars running on the treadmill with all the “old cougar bling.” And despite the fact that “cougar” and “bling” weren’t actually part of our cultural parlance yet, I...

Best Men’s Cross Trainers
It wasn’t that long ago, that an active person’s day of hiking up the side of a mountain in the morning, playing a game of tennis at lunch, and maybe going for a jog after work, all were accomplished in the same low cut basketball shoe that Dr. J...

Best Home Stair Steppers
If it’s not a rowing movement, it’s a swimming motion… if it’s not a swimming motion, how about climbing? Isn’t it funny how fitness equipment engineers are always attempting to recreate something? You may not have thought much about it, bu...

Best Free Weight Home Gyms
