Michelle Bridges

On 26 January 2020, Bridges pleaded guilty to mid-range drink-driving after being caught behind the wheel of her 4WD with her five-year-old son in the car. She allegedly returned a blood alcohol reading of 0.086. She was fined $750 and banned from driving for three months. She later confirmed that she and Steve Willis had ended their relationship.

In 2019, Bridges competed in the sixteenth season of Dancing with the Stars, where she got paired with Aric Yegudkin. She was fifth to be eliminated from the competition.

Bridges married fitness trainer and gym owner Bill Moore, who later became her business manager, in 2003. The couple separated in May 2013 and Bridges began dating fellow Biggest Loser trainer Steve Willis. She currently resides in Sydney. In July 2015, the couple announced they were expecting their first child together. On 19 December 2015, Bridges gave birth to their son.

In 2012, Bridges launched the fitness and leisure range ONEActive, sold in Big W stores across Australia. This includes hardware fitness goods, footwear and apparel. Her fitness wear ranges in sizes from 8–26. In August 2013 her apparel was launched on the BIG W website and in September 2013 she established a licence agreement to also sell kitchenware with the retail chain. Also in September 2013, Bridges expanded her apparel to include children's fitness clothes for ages 8 to 16.

In 2010, Ubisoft brought Bridges to Canada to help develop the weight loss segments of their product Your Shape Fitness Evolved. The company used motion capture to create an avatar of Bridges to appear in the game, which will use the Kinect technology. Bridges said "It was quite extraordinary. I'm now a fitness trainer inside an XBox game." Bridges said fitness games could provide as good a workout as going to the gym, saying "If you can roll out of bed and turn on your Xbox and get into it games like this one, you've just cut your travel time to get the gym, to find a park and you're good to go. There's a real opportunity to spark a passion to get into your fitness."

Michelle Bridges started the online 12 Week Body Transformation in 2010. As of January 2019, the program claims that users have lost a combined weight of over 1,500,000 kilograms.

Bridges attended high school in Nelson Bay, New South Wales. In an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald, she said "I was 14 when I pitched the idea to my school mistress that I would take the kids at school who didn't play sport, who hung around smoking cigarettes, and do fitness classes with them." She then went on to take over space at a local squash court along with her personal trainer Tash Sheehy and taught classes there. At 18, Bridges graduated from the Australian Institute of Fitness as a certified fitness instructor, and has served since 2009 as an ambassador for the organisation.

In 2007, Bridges became a trainer on The Biggest Loser. In her first season, she trained the red team alongside Jillian Michaels. She appeared as the red team trainer for every season. In 2016, Bridges announced she was leaving the series.
