Personal trainer and host of “The Biggest Loser” Bob Harper is reportedly recovering after a heart attack that nearly killed him.
The 51-year-old fitness guru collapsed two weeks ago while working out in a New York City gym, according to TMZ. Fortunately for Harper, a doctor who was also at the gym was able to administer CPR to keep him alive until paramedics arrived.
