Kathy Smith – Then

Kathy Smith is a personal trainer who shot to fame with her workout videos during the late 1980s and 1990s. She has been able to sell off about 16 million workout videos since 1980 which is an incredible achievement.

She created a Project: You! Type 2 which she made with the American Diabetes Association, a lifestyle protocol to manage Type 2 diabetes. Smith was one of the few women who went onto win the Honolulu marathon in 1975, and the Runner’s World magazine also named her one of the top 100 marathon runners in the country.

Apart from being a multi-millionaire in her mid-thirties, her induction into the Video Hall of Fame was one of her major achievements. It just goes to show that she truly is passionate in fitness and makes sure that everyone else puts as much importance to their health through her work.
