Fitness Icons | Where Are They Now? - 11...

Chalene Johnson
About this episode

Curious about what happened to the fitness stars of the '80s, '90s, and 2000s? In this episode, Chalene Johnson reveals the “where are they now?” stories of icons like Susan Powter of Stop the Insanity!, Billy Blanks with Tae Bo, Denise Austin, Gilad from Bodies in Motion, Jane Fonda, and Tamilee Webb of Buns of Steel. These fitness legends motivated millions, but did fame bring financial freedom? Chalene dives into their highs and lows, behind-the-scenes secrets, and our obsession with fitness fame and gym culture.

Plus, Chalene breaks down why we love train-wreck TV, the unique energy each health club has (especially in Miami Beach!), and why we can’t resist a bit of drama in other people’s stories. Packed with insights on fitness fame, reality TV, and unforgettable gym scenes, this episode has it all!
