Filmed exclusively on Hawaii's Garden Island and at the Kaua'i beach resort, a two-hour episode of NBC's hit TV show scheduled to air Thursday, Jan. 1, 2015, will feature six contestants making resolutions to ensure 2015 is their best year yet.

"Having the filming of 'The Biggest Loser' on our property was an incredible experience and huge honor," said Bill Countryman, general manager of Kauai Marriott Resort. "Our Kaua'i golf resort features the perfect balance of adventure and beauty, which is important for not only inspiring the contestants but invigorating our guests as well."

During the show, the contestants will be challenged to leave their comfort zones and rappel down a cascading waterfall with Da Life or rope swing with Just Live! in a tropical forest. Following the intense excursions, contestants will learn how to make healthy, island-inspired tacos before partaking in a Lacrosse-style obstacle course on a stunning, privately owned ranch.

"We are excited to see the adventure, culture and natural beauty of Kauai shine on 'The Biggest Loser' in visually compelling, made-for-TV moments," said John Monahan, president and CEO of the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau. "Collaborating with NBC's superb production team to develop these challenging competitions and tell the contestants' stories has been a great experience from beginning to end. The contestants now know what an inspiring destination Hawaii and the Kaua'i Marriott Resort are, and millions of viewers will, too."

One of the premier hotels on Kaua'i, Marriott is infamous for its warm island hospitality, idyllic location on the Garden Isle and exceptional service. The resort inspires relaxation as well as adventure with a superior beach experience and one of the largest family friendly pools in Hawaii. Golf lovers can hit the links at the adjacent Kaua'i Lagoon Golf Club, featuring 18 holes of Jack Nicklaus-designed championship golf. A state-of-the-art fitness center will keep guests loyal to fitness goals with a variety of cardiovascular equipment, free weights, yoga mats and fit balls.

Following a fit-filled day, weary travelers will rejoice in the Kaua'i golf resort's elegant accommodations. Beautiful balconies boasting breathtaking views will keep the island vibe alive as guests slip into luxurious bedding. Visitors carrying leftover energy can stay entertained with flat-panel TVs featuring pay-per-view movies, or take advantage of high-speed Internet access and share the day's adventures online with friends.
