X-Weighted is an inspirational and compelling TV series shown on Slice and around the world in 70 countries. Over five successful seasons, X-Weighted has chronicled the lives of more than 100 courageous adults and children as they wage war on fat – shedding their extra weight and emotional baggage on a journey of self-discovery and emancipation.

X-Weighted: Families introduces viewers to baffled, misguided and often overwhelmed parents and their overweight, unhealthy and usually unhappy offspring. We delve inside the hearts and homes of families where obesity threatens the very foundations of their family life. For some it has become a matter of life and death. For all, there is a very real desperation to change their lives before it is too late.

A new season of X-Weighted: Families premieres on Thursday, October 14th

For five seasons, Paul Plakas has been assessing and analyzing the fitness of participants on X-Weighted. Plakas has been a personal trainer for 18 years, working with all levels of fitness, from the totally sedentary to the professional athlete. Plakas is co-founder of Custom Fit, an Edmonton based team of fitness professionals, and creator of The i3 Workout exercise video.

Plakas earned his degree in physical fitness from the University of Alberta, and is certified as both a Health and Fitness Instructor and a Strength and Conditioning Specialist by the American College of Sports Medicine.

Plakas says that watching participants on X-Weighted achieve their own goals gives him great personal satisfaction. “When somebody is a prisoner in their own body and never had a chance to experience what life has to offer them, being lighter and fitter opens them up to things they never thought they could do before,” he says.
