In 2004, Warner opened Sky Sport and Spa. On July 19, 2006, the Bravo network aired the first episode of Work Out. The reality show's first season followed Warner's daily routine, giving a behind-the-scenes look at how Warner runs her day-to-day business, juggles her personal life with then-girlfriend Milenna (Mimi) Saraiva, and deals with her employees' personal issues.
On March 18, 2007, Bravo launched a second season of "Work Out," where it continues to show Warner handling her personal life and controversial relationship with employee Rebecca Cardon, launching a new business venture, integrating a new trainer (Gregg Butler) into the mix, and dealing with the sudden death of trainer Doug Blasdell.
There was much debate over her relationship with Rebecca, whom she began to casually date during the filming of the second season late 2006. In April 2007, Warner stated during the Work Out "Reunion" show that due to the attention they have received, the relationship was to be kept private until decided otherwise.[3]
On July 27, 2010, Bravo announced that Warner would return to the network in September 2010 with Thintervention with Jackie Warner.[4] This new fitness show followed Warner as she helps a group of eight clients lose weight, including former Real Housewives of Orange County star Jeana Keough.
