Bravo Star Greg Plitt killed by Train at 37

The fitness icon and inspiration, Greg Plitt died in a freak accident in Burbank when he got crushed under the Metrolink train.

Burbank P.D. reported a train accident last night where a man was struck by Metrolink train. Little did they know that the person that had died and they identified later on was Bravo star Greg Plitt.

The train that hit him was Metrolink reported that he was hit by train 268 on the Antelope Valley Line. The train was southbound. Greg was a former Marine turned fitness expert/model/actor and motivational speaker. 

Based on the preliminary investigation, the cause of Plitt’s death was the accident and no foul play is expected.

The world of fitness has however suffered a terrible loss. Rob Riches posted a long memoir on his Instagram along with a picture of him and Greg at an earlier interview. He remembered that most people called him the “Fitness Model” and his death was tragic.

Last night I learned the terrible news that Fitness legend Greg Plitt was no longer with us after losing his life in what seems to be a tragic and freak accident. While I do not want to go into to details about what /4/have happened, I do want to celebrate Greg and everything he has done for the fitness industry and beyond. Often referred to as ‘The Top Fitness Model’ (including by myself), Greg was more than just a model (and an actor), and while he was often known for his onscreen personality, few knew of his personality and character away from this. I had been fortunate to have met Greg soon after I came to Cali almost 8 years ago, and since then had been to his home, met his parents, and been introduced to his friends and family away from the fitness life. The world has not just lost a fitness icon, it has lost a true legend, a man who put his heart and sole into doing what he loves – in everything he does. My thoughts goes out to his family and loved ones at this terrible and tragic time. I urge you all to comment below on the reasons why you followed Greg, what he inspired in you, any times that you had met him, and quotes and one-liners that motivated and kept you going. (Pic from an interview I did with Greg at the Mr. Olympia back in 2011, which can be found on YouTube).
