- Growing
up, Tony Horton preferred fast food to his mother's healthy home
cooking. Tony wasn't always Bringing It. Born in Westley, RI, and raised in
Trumbull, CT, Tony hated exercising and didn't particularly like sports. He
describes himself then as the "quintessential 98-pound weakling." Having moved
to Hollywood to pursue his dream of acting, Tony realized he had to get fit to
succeed. He joined the renowned World Gym in Venice, California, where Arnold
Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno worked out. With friends and acquaintances
blown away by his physical transformation, it wasn't long before Tony's career
as a sought-after fitness trainer began, and programs like
P90X® and
Power 90® came to
fruition.
- Chalene Johnson began studying judo and dance at the age
of 3. Her passion for movement, music, and dance was influenced by her mother,
a Jazzercise instructor, who let Chalene and her sister (whom you can also see
in Chalene's Beachbody videos) switch music records between sessions. Chalene
studied tae kwon do, dance, and aerobics at Michigan State University before
moving to California in the early 90s, and, eight years later,
Turbo Jam
was born.

Shaun T gained 50 pounds in college. And lucky for us he did. It was
when Shaun was forced to battle his own bulge that he began studying sports
medicine in addition to choreography, and all that experience and education was
boiled down over the years into the techniques he teaches in
Hip Hop
Abs.
- The popularity of Thin Thighs Guaranteed! led to the creation of
Debbie Siebers' Slim in 6®. Debbie met Beachbody CEO Carl Daikeler
through a mutual friend in 1998, leading to the creation of Thin Thighs
Guaranteed!. The popularity of that video led to additional research into ways
to get better results in less time. The result was
Slim in 6®. As
Debbie said, "I've taken everything I learned over the years and put it into
this program so that if you commit to it for 6 weeks, I guarantee you will
reshape your body, lose fat, gain energy, and build strength and endurance
while creating lean, defined muscles."
- Gillian Marloth and Teigh McDonough
teach Yoga Booty
Ballet out of their Los Angeles-based co-owned studio SWERVE. Gillian has
dedicated herself to helping others achieve physical wellness through movement
by focusing on the body, mind, and spirit. She believes that "in order to
change your body, you have to change your mind." Teigh has a passion for the
art of movement and teaches it in a way that inspires everyone from the novice
to the professional dancer. Teigh takes her expertise and charismatic teaching
style to the classroom, where she helps students transform into the next best
version of themselves by "freeing the funky ballerina within" through the joy
and expression of movement.
