Brian Jagger

Co-host of FitBody Focused & Weight Loss warrior on FitBodyRadio, Brian Jagger is an entrepreneur, working actor, writer, marketing consultant and personal trainer.  Jagger’s most recent short film screenplay entitled “The Lottery Ticket” is one of the ten winning scripts for the 14th annual Place Called Sacramento Film festival put on by Access Sacramento.  The film premiered October 6th, 2013 @1pm, at the Crest Theater in Sacramento, California.

In early 2013, Jagger helped co-found the video based social media platform VidGage, a social media platform that allows users to post video updates and uniquely allows followers to comment via video replies created through the platform (commenting with video).  VidGage even allows comments on comments.

As a writer Jagger has previously earned a “Best Original Script” ELLY nomination for his original play “The Interviews” which has been produced by three different theater groups in the Sacramento region since 2009.  Jagger also wrote and helped produce the webseries “Now Hiring” which is loosely based upon the play “The Interviews”.  The series can be viewed online at www.NowHiring.TV

As an actor, Jagger earned his Screen Actors Guild eligibility with a principal role in the Paul Thomas Anderson directed movie “The Master” in a scene opposite Phillip Seymour Hoffman (which was unfortunately cut, but still earned Jagger his SAG-E).  Jagger has also had guest lead or primary supporting roles in four different national television shows and has appeared in over a dozen national television show episodes.  He has also been in several regional television commercials and multiple short films.

Jagger also works as a marketing consultant and promotions specialist helping small businesses as well as artists and athletes with their publicity and promotion.  In addition, Jagger works part-time as a Certified Personal Trainer, something he became after losing over 120lbs.

Weighing in at 316lbs, Brian Jagger knew (and was flat out told by his Doctor) things needed to change.  After losing more than 140lbs, Jagger became inspired by those who found inspiration in his success.  To continue to help and inspire others to get fit, Jagger became an ACE Certified Personal Trainer (CPT).  Jagger currently trains and coaches from Anytime Fitness in Roseville, CA.

Far from easy, and littered along the way with more than the usual amount of difficulty, Jagger has lost the weight with more than a short-story to tell.  Marriage and family lost, medical complications, behavior and personality change, criminal activity… all that and more, Jagger has come through.  Fighting through the negative and focusing on getting “back to old Brian”, Jagger has persevered, gotten healthy, built back his family and dedicated himself to helping others get through the challenge of weight loss and fitness transformation, all while avoiding the pitfalls he encountered.

Now that things are “normal” medically for Jagger, he has earned his CPT and is proud to be helping others in their fitness goals.  He has also begun the foundations for his professional writing and acting career.

Brian came onto Fight 4 Your Life after having met creator Bryan Bachar via mutual colleague Marc Gardner.  Both Brian and Bryan had small roles in Marc’s short film, The Within.  Since then Brian has been in several one studios productions, including landing a role in F4YL.  We’re thrilled to have Mr. Jagger on board and look forward to continuing to build a lasting relationship!

Cecil Claremont

We’ve all heard the stories about talented athletes that make millions of dollars only to have those millions blown from reckless spending and poor management.  Often these stories end with the athletes having nothing, yet, their managers walk away very, very well off, having used and manipulated the athlete the entire time to fill his or her own greedy pockets.  These types of managers are utter and complete scumbags…..Well, Cecil is one of these kinds of managers.

Always looking out for his own grander horizons, Cecil Claremont seems to be in the mix of everything involving money.  People might question his character, but they cannot deny his pizazz for financial gain or his ability to recognize talent.  It was no surprise to the boxing world he signed the current champ, Hanson Hansome Kelly, the first chance he could, becoming the gifted, yet egomaniacal, boxer’s manager.

One would think there would be some sort of loyalty between the two with everything each has contributed to the other….nope.  Hanson might be a punk, but he isn’t dumb.  He sees right through Cecil’s act.  Their relationship is one based more on necessity and greed than trust and love.  Hanson’s trainer, Henry Page, is too prideful of his protege’s place in the spotlight to let anything disrupt the good’s going.  So, he too turns the cheek to Cecil’s manipulation and thirst for financial gain.  As long as Hanson keeps getting the right fights and his title is secure Henry is content.

Cecil’s had his eye on Hanson’s up and coming rival, Fleet Blackwood, for quite a while.  Over the years his attempts to win over Fleet have been derailed by Fleet’s team.  The temptation to move ahead more quickly using Cecil’s influence and power has at times been difficult for Fleet to resist, especially earlier on in his career.  Luckily, Fleet has had proper guidance by way of his mentor, Ahiga, who’s always provided great advice.  And Fleet’s trainer, Tony, well, there’s history between him and Cecil, and let’s just say he sees the kind of animal Cecil is…..and he’s not a fan. 

Who is to know if the dirty dog will ever win over the stoic boxer.  One thing is certain…..Cecil is quite persistent.
