The Ultimate Body is inspired by executive producer
David Lyons's own inspirational story of beating the
odds. Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2006 at the
age of 47, David Lyons was told by doctors that he would
likely lose his ability to walk. Rather than give into
his illness and become sedentary, David decided to
become a competitive bodybuilder, founding the MS
Bodybuilding Challenge and competing in body building
competitions. On August 22, 2009 David Lyons became the
first person with Multiple Sclerosis to compete in a
Level 5 NPC Bodybuilding Competition, taking home the
trophy for "Most Inspirational Competitor." He has also
been asked to guest pose at next year's Natural Mr.
Olympia competition in Chicago, a tremendous honor, by
former Natural Mr. Olympia John Hansen. Proud of his
achievements so far, David is never satisfied to rest on
his laurels and exclaims, "Next year I win!" He has
already begun his training for next year's bodybuilding
competition. David Lyons is an ideal example of what the
human body can achieve, and he expects no less from the
competitors who will be cast to compete on The Ultimate
Body. "We are looking for thirteen men and thirteen
women who are willing to give their all, and ultimately
find that center of strength to push forward when the
going gets tough. We will be looking for this quality at
our open audition event on October 17th," states Lyons.
