Back to it. After taking a brief hiatus from her frequent workouts, Allison Holker is resuming her training.
“Alright guys, it’s my first day back in the gym. I haven’t been here in quite some time,” the Dancing With the Stars alum, 35, said in a candid Instagram Story video on Tuesday, April 4. “[I’m] really excited about it, but also very nervous. It’s a little intimidating when you haven’t been working out to get back into everything.”
She added: “I thought I’d bring you guys on this journey because it’s going to take me a second to get back to where I was, but I think it will be something I need for my body physically, spiritually, mentally. I know it’s going to be really healthy for me to do this.”
While Holker did not specifically address why she had taken a fitness hiatus, her break came less than four months after her husband, Stephen “tWitch” Boss, died by suicide at the age of 40.
“It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share my husband Stephen has left us,” the HGTV host, who married Boss in 2013, said in a December 2022 statement after Us Weekly confirmed his passing. “Stephen lit up every room he stepped into. He valued family, friends and community above all else and leading with love and light was everything to him. He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans.”

Prior to Boss’ death, he and Holker frequently shared their
