WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biggest Losers are coming to the White House.

NBC says contestants on its “The Biggest Loser” program are whisked to the White House in a two-part makeover episode set to air on April 3 and April 10.

In the first episode, the contestants get a surprise video message from Michelle Obama inviting them to the White House, where they are reunited with family members after undergoing a makeover. In the second installment, they meet the first lady, who talks to them about healthy living. And then the contestants, their families and the first lady all work out together at the White House.

According to NBC, Mrs. Obama also challenges the contestants to see who can sign up the most participants for the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award.
