The Biggest Loser alum seemingly confirmed an ongoing feud with costar , revealing that in the wake of his life-threatening heart attack in February 2017, he received well-wishes from many of his colleagues on the NBC reality series—but notably did not hear from his fellow trainer.
'We weren't besties, but we were partners on a television show for a very long time,' Bob, 59, told The Guardian in an interview published Aug. 14, adding that his former costar's silence 'spoke volumes."
But the fitness expert—who coached contestants on the competition show from 2004 to 2020—stressed that the snub didn't exactly take him by surprise, adding, 'I would not expect Jillian Michaels to do anything other than what she wants to do.'

'I had what they call a 'widow-maker,'' he explained to Today in April 2017. 'It was a six percent survival rate, and the fact that there were doctors in the gym when I had the heart attack saved my life.'

'After my heart attack, I really went through a complete identity crisis having to figure out what life would be like,' he told E! News in February 2018. 'It was really difficult to figure out me, the fitness guy, how everything had changed after that.'
But Bob—who got engaged to Anton Gutierrez in 2019—managed to find community among others who had similarly defied the odds, calling the experience 'a second chance at life.'
'I realize I'm part of a club—the heart attack survivors club,' he continued. 'It's never a club you want to be in, but once you're in, you find that there are other people just like you that are in need of guidance, in need of support.'
