And that has never been more evident than in the past year. The 37-year-old, who made a name for herself as a trainer on The Biggest Loser before turning her attention to her own fitness brand, has had to contend with what she calls “a real string of bad luck” – a series of wrist injuries and surgeries, plus all those lockdowns. That’s not to mention her shock diagnoses of chronic fatigue syndrome and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, which she opened up about earlier this year. “I’ve had all kinds of setbacks,” Hall admits.
