Tony Horton's Bio: Tony Horton was born Anthony Sawyer Horton Jr. on July 2nd, 1958, in the small town of Westerly Rhode Island. By the time Tony was 10 his family had already moved more than 5 times. His father put in 3 years of service in the ROTC, so they were stationed at various bases around America. Each move meant Tony had to make new friends in a hurry. He became pretty good at it, which is probably why he later thought about becoming an actor. Tony wasn’t shy, which gave him the confidence to go for what he wanted and follow his dreams.

As a child, Tony wasn’t a great athlete, but he was a decent student. His father had excelled at sports and had even set athletic records at his highschool, but Tony Jr. focused on individual sports like gymnastics and skiing. He had imagination and drive, but he never managed to develop a great body in school. Although he was athletic, his favorite food growing up was chocolate cake, which may have kept him from excelling. It wasn’t until the University of Rhode Island in 1976 that Tony finally became in tune with his fitness. He was later told that being fit meant that he could land roles in Hollywood, and while it was a long shot, he figured that it couldn’t hurt to get in shape.

After college he moved to Los Angeles to find work as an actor. To make ends meet he took on various non-acting roles. He was a handy man for Dom DeLuise, a gardener for Dolly Parton, a carpenter, a comic, a waiter, a go-go dancer; Tony hosted a a TV show on the Playboy channel called 360. He also worked as a landscape engineer, he was the NordicTrack man and a human statue.

While he was getting in the best shape of his life, the people around him began to take notice. Tony discovered techniques for maximizing his workouts and started training his co-workers and studio executives. It became clear to Tony that his passion was to bring fitness to everyone that could meet his challenge.

Tony spends his free time on the slopes, the sand, the water, and anywhere else he can push his body to the limit and have a great time doing it. … Read more
