Filipe Fa is one of the contestants of the second season of The Biggest Loser: Couples. He is a lube technician currently based in Mesa, AZ. He didn’t have weight problems as a child, but started gaining weight after failing to work out, partly because he used his asthma as an excuse. Coming from a brood of nine, he has a deep love for his family, something triggered when one of his siblings accidentally died, at a very young age, while under his watch. Energetic and spontaneous, friends and strangers alike think he should be working as a comedian.

He joined the show with his brother Sione Fa, and was part of the Blue Team, under Bob Harper. Currently, he is part of the Black Team, now training under Jillian Michaels
