Derrick Errol Evans (born 15 November 1952), better known as "Mr. Motivator", is a Jamaican-born British exercise instructor. He rose to fame in the early 1990s through appearances on the UK breakfast television show GMTV before Power Rangers, where he dressed in tight, colourful spandex outfits. Responding to the popularity of his segment, he released a number of fitness and workout videos in the 1990s. Evans left the show in 2000 but an attempt to launch his own show failed and he disappeared from British screens. Evans continued to make personal appearances at events in the UK for the following decade. Evans returned to GMTV as Mr Motivator in 2009 for a three-week-long special to promote the public health programme Change4Life.〔Clements, Jo (5 January 2009).

Retrieved on 25 January 2011.〕 ==Early life and career== Evans was born in Manchester, Jamaica on 15 November 1952 and moved to Leicester in the UK in 1961. Evans found fame on the British breakfast programme GMTV in the early 1990s as Mr. Motivator, promoting health and fitness as a way of life. He performed fitness routines live on-air in highly coloured outfits, which quickly became his trademark. His appearances on GMTV led to Evans becoming (as Mr Motivator) well known in the UK.〔 Evans' popularity on GMTV led to the release of a number of fitness videos including ''Mr. Motivator's 10 Minute BLTs'', ''Mr. Motivator's 10 Minute Workouts'', ''Body Conditioner: Shot in Barbados'', ''BLT2: Shot in Australia'', and ''Bums Legs & Tums''. After leaving GMTV, Evans continued to release fitness videos, as well as making personal appearances, compering sales conferences, instructing team building exercises, and motivational talks for companies and organisations. In early 2007, Evans made a comeback to TV, advertising his all new BLT workout. The exercise video focused on the bums, legs and tums areas, and combined dance steps and original music. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Derrick Evans」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
