Both have been featured in fitness and health magazines, and both have been brand ambassadors for supplement companies; they have also both appeared in many athletic-wear and fitness-related campaigns.

"Anyone can lift in the gym, but that won't give them coordination, endurance and speed. We may not be the biggest couple, but people will find out quickly that we are not here to mess around."
Jaret and Christina met at Santa Barbara City College in California. She was on the track team, and he was a coach. Don't worry, though: They didn't start dating until she was off the team! After years of thinking he was a dork, Jaret's sense of humor finally won Christina over. His being jacked didn't hurt the situation either. Now, their days consist of training together while running their YouTube channel. If they win the $100,000, they want to use it to move back to Santa Barbara. Christina wouldn't mind if a portion of that money also went toward an engagement ring.
