From Chicago Tribune:

Fitness trainers Dina Castillo and Frank Nunez were riding a wave after they were asked to create a customized fitness program just for employees of Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Inc. in summer 2008.

The married owners of Unicus Fitness were even asked to appear on a program on Winfrey’s XM Radio channel hosted by the talk show queen’s former trainer.

But everything came to a halt after the trainers sent e-mails to other clients announcing their March 2009 appearance on the program, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday. Soon after, Harpo officials told the couple that the mass e-mail violated a confidentiality agreement with the talk show’s parent company, which terminated their O Fitness Challenge program.
