Our guest today is P90X creator, personal trainer, author and former actor Tony Horton. Tony Horton has been at the forefront of the fitness industry for decades. He’s created revolutionary programs that have helped improve the lives of millions of people around the world, including the most successful fitness program in America, P90X. He has also trained A-list celebrities such as Tom Petty, Billy Idol, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Nicks, Ewan McGregor, and more, helping them perform at their best while touring.
Tony is an ambassador for Tonal, leading home smart gym, and has created several programs rooted across fitness categories for the brand. He’s also a motivational speaker and is the best-selling author of "Bring It! Crush It!" and "The Big Picture."
Tony is the founder of Power Life, a supplement line designed to help people take their fitness to the next level. The motivation to create Power Life was born when Tony was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, a rare form of shingles that impacts the brain and causes facial paralysis and muscle weakness. In Tony’s extreme case, he was bedridden and suffered loss of balance, nausea, vomiting, had Bell’s palsy, and lost 25 lbs. of muscle mass. Power Life was created as a result of Tony working with specialists to understand how to manage his symptoms. With science-backed ingredients and cutting-edge formulas, Power Life’s portfolio of products maximizes fitness performance and optimizes wellness, allowing people to feel energized, strong, and confident every day, no matter their age or fitness level.
