Growing up it would have been bodybuilders (of course Arnold). Early in my career as a trainer it was my peers (trainers who had been around for many years, with a ton of education) as well as Chek, Wolf and Cook. Today I still look back to all of them for motivation and guidance, but now I also look toward younger trainers for a fresh look at life and to remind me to keep learning.

Jack LaLanne is the reason I am in this industry today.

Petra Kolber. I used to watch her on FitTV 20+ years ago when I first started teaching. I loved her smile and energy and sense of humor along with her easy to follow flowing dance routines. I used to borrow choreography from her way back when and have loved seeing her and learning from her at IDEA conventions since.

I have several favorites but perhaps Cathe Friedrich inspired me to excellence because you could tell she really practiced what she taught and she always demonstrated impeccable form and technique.
