My L.A. to Z: Alison Sweeney
Interviewed by Fatima Rizwan
When Alison Sweeney isn’t hosting The Biggest Loser, starring in Days of Our Lives, or spending time with her children, she’s getting a “badass” workout. The spokesperson for Yoplait Light lists her favorite places to do all of the above.
Dorothy Chandler Pavilion
My mom is a classically trained violinist. I would go see her perform at the Music Center downtown. I remember being a kid and going to see her perform at the Dorothy Chandler. It was really special, I loved it.
Griffith Observatory
I work out in different state parks in Los Angeles, but I love Griffith Park. It’s huge and there are so many different things to do. I work out four to five times a week and love to mix it up. You can climb up the hill to the observatory and it doesn’t feel like L.A. I went on a class trip there when I was a kid. Now I bring my kids there to see the light show or to learn about astronomy. I even bring my kids there when I workout or go hiking. It’s a totally different experience working out with your kids. It’s like you get double the workout!
Hollywood Bowl
I met my husband [David] at the Hollywood Bowl. His parents and my parents are friends but we didn’t see each other throughout our teen years. I ran into him at a party his parents were hosting there years later, in the summer of 1998. We still go on dates to the Hollywood Bowl.
