Kris Reid, Co-CEO
The undefeated former professional Extreme Cage fighter Kris Reid gave up a successful career in athletics to help train contestants on the popular ABC television show Extreme Makeover and to facilitate the Congressional award winning "Mind Body Action" program that assists inner city children and their parents in losing weight and developing healthy eating habits. Born in Tarzana California, Reid's interest in working out began at the age of 14 when he attempted to overcome a chunky adolescence by reading every fitness magazine he could get his hands on and saving his allowance to purchase weights. After his own successful "makeover" Reid spends his days lecturing on specialized circuits with Doctors (on the importance of customized health and fitness) and running Body Makeover Systems with Co-CEO Alisa Daglio.
Armed with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Reid began working for Body Makeover Systems in 2002. Tragedy struck Reid in 2006 when in his 20's he was diagnosed with Type II diabetes. His extensive knowledge of nutrition and exercise has enabled him to manage his condition without the use of medication. Reid's ultimate goal is to inspire those affected by diabetes and to prevent those in danger of becoming diabetic from ever experiencing the disease.
As a professional fighter in the ring and for his cause, Reid is no stranger to dominating success. It is no coincidence that his Congressional Award winning training skills have appeared on the Oprah Show, Extreme Makeover, and have been showcased in households across America. Reid's journey to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro in 2008 proves that having Type II Diabetes is not an obstacle to any endeavor. By utilizing the Body Makeover nutrition and exercise program, Reid is able to regulate his diabetes without the use of any medication. As a mentor, inspirational role model, and phenomenal athlete, Kris Reid can inspire people on every level.

Subsequently, the former Miss Pacific Beach USA turned in her crown in exchange for a "touchdown" when she attempted a career with Los Angeles' first full contact professional woman's football team the LA Breakers W.P.F.L. Alisa's additional outdoor adventures include skydiving and scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, scaling Mount Wina Piccu through the Incan ruins of Peru, and climbing 19,340 feet to the top of the roof of Africa (Mount Kilimanjaro) in 2008.
