Skinny Kid Turns Fitness Guru
Tony Horton grew up in Connecticut and attended the University of Rhode Island. While attending college, he became enamored with acting and moved to Hollywood to pursue his dream. There was only one problem: Tony’s look didn’t quite fit the Hollywood standard of buff and beautiful. His scrawny body epitomized the classic 98-pound weakling cliché.
From Non-existent to Getting Noticed
Determined to make it in Hollywood, Tony took charge of his own destiny and began exercising at the famous World Gym in Venice, California. He hoped to pump up his scrawny physique and realize his acting dreams. He didn’t want the bulky, awkward look of the overly muscled bodybuilders who frequented the gym. An acquaintance, accomplished triathlete Mark Sisson, introduced him to training techniques that promote speed and flexibility in addition to balanced, natural muscle growth.
Beachbody Buff
Two friends, Carl Daikeler and Jon Congden, discovered Tony when beginning their new company, Beachbody Fitness. They asked Tony to star in their new workout videos. This gave him exposure and credibility. He began his own video workout endeavors, sponsored by Beachbody Fitness. His first release in 2001, Power90, was a boot-camp style program designed for in home use. Several DVDs later, he stars in an entire series of videos showcasing his special muscle confusion and interval training techniques. The latest are P90X and P90X Plus, along with his many P90X One on One Discs.
