The new fitness competition "Strong" debuts tonight on NBC26.

"Strong" strives to improve contestants' fitness both mentally and physically, with the help of trainers who do more than just coach.

"He's right there training with her. He's right there competing with her. He's winning and losing with her," explains host Gabrielle Reece.
