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.

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.
