Chappaqua Trainer in NBC's "Spartan: Ultimate Team Challenge"

Get ready for something that will take your breath away -- Spartans Ultimate Team Challenge, premiering June 13 on NBC.

Plus, Amber Jo Salamone, a personal trainer with at Prescriptions For Fitness, Inc in Chappaqua, is one of the athletes competing for a $250,000 prize.

Here's how NBC describes the show:

Inspired by Spartan Race - the creators of the world's most demanding obstacle course races - "Spartan: Ultimate Team Challenge" raises the bar on team competitions. Groups of friends, families, co-workers and more must work together as they race across specially designed Spartan courses engineered to test their determination, endurance and will. Teams of five compete on one the most demanding courses ever devised and have to push through the pain to win $250,000.

Here's how Salamone, a Harrison resident, describes it:

This was by far the best week of my life. We were surrounded by some of the greatest Spartan athletes out there, one being our coach, Kevin Donoghue who taught us how to work together as a team throughout the week. We all have different reasons why we race which is what makes our team so unique. Being a Spartan all these years has helped me overcome some difficult times in my life and made me realize how strong I really am. Being part of Spartans Ultimate Team Challenge has changed my life with this unforgettable experience. I am forever grateful.

However, she said she couldn't have done it if not for a local helper.

She was chosen in November and only had three weeks to prep before Team Thumbs Up went to Atlanta, GA to start filming.

"During those three weeks of preparation, I met Dave Franze, owner of West Harrison Fitness Center," Salamone said. "He heard I needed some hardcore training in a short amount of time and took me under his wing and got me into the best shape of my life mentally and physically. We spent hours together everyday training inside and out of his gym. I cannot thank Dave enough. He truly knows his stuff when it comes to health and fitness. Once my team and I got to Atlanta Georgia I felt prepared and ready to rock this obstacle course!"

Without him, she said, "I would have never gotten the opportunity to be on such an amazing new TV series."
