Tony Little – 1956

From a fitness icon to a successful businessman, Tony Little, aged 63, has been famous to be an energetic personality in TV shows and various infomercials. Before he stepped into his business success, Little encountered a car accident in 1983. This was one of his life’s most devastating experiences. Little went through a long period of depression and faced a hard time in his physical recovery. It thus went on to increase his dependency on painkillers. It might seem like miserable years for Tony as he saw his fitness career crumbling down.

However, never say never for a fitness trainer like Tony Little. He managed to turn things around by viewing his miserable years into an opportunity. Starting from scratch, he founded a cleaning company for fitness gyms and health clubs. After that, he received an offer to sell 400 exercise videos in a span of just four days. Such a natural talent, Little sold it all in less than four hours. And the rest is history. Now, Little has built his own fitness empire. You will always hear his catchphrases, “You can do it!” and “Always believe in yourself”.
