get ripped and ready in 2012

Who do you look up to in fitness?
 
A bodybuilder may say: "Arnold"
 
A figure girl may say: "Monica Brant" 
 
A fitness model may say: "Lindsay Messina" 
 
But what is it that makes you think of certain fitness 
people? Is it that they have been on covers of magazines? 
You see them in videos? How many have you met? 
 
I would guess as a competitive fitness person you may 
think of people who you would like to follow in their 
footsteps. But when it comes to mainstream fitness celebrities 
then it is different who you think of? 
 
If somebody says Jack LaLanne you may think 
the person saying it is kinda old?  Only because that 
is an older generation who watched his TV show. 
 
Ok, when I say the name Jillian Michaels people always 
get mad at me - but you have to admit she is a huge name and 
people know who she is! 
 
Which leads me into where I'm going with this question. 
 
Tony Horton the creator of P90X came to our show last year 
and he tore in up. He had so many people doing his workout that 
the normal Fitness Atlantic crowd was amazed at his draw and the 
massive group of people participating in his workout. 

Thing is for a guy that is 53 years old and has P90X commercials 
running all day long people really don't get tired of this guy. Because 
he really is the real deal. 
 
And with P90X 2 about to be launched it is really great that he 
is coming back to Fitness Atlantic again. 
 

 
Check out the program from last year's Ripped and Ready

Tony will be doing two workouts this April 14th and then he will 
be on stage for the finals for a special part of the show!
 
I'm really excited to have this type of tie-in with Fitness Atlantic!
 
To have someone with this popularity and draw to be connected with 
Fitness Atlantic helps us take the show to the next level. 
 
If you have never been able to meet Tony Horton in person you will 
this year because he will be there all day.

I hope you get to meet Tony because he is a awesome person. 
 
Regardless what type of fitness you train for if it is bikini, 
figure, model, or bodybuilding you can appreciate what he 
does and the energy he brings. Especially if you do personal 
training. 
 
You really should meet him because he is high-energy, incredible 
personality, and a big inspiration to anyone in fitness.
