Shaun T's Background and History with Beach Body:
“Born Shaun Thompson,
Shaun T first made a name for himself as a track-and-field star at Rowan
University, where he received a BS in Sports Science with a minor in Theater
and Dance.
Since then he's put both degrees to epic use— dancing backup with Mariah Carey, appearing on HBO's Six Feet Under, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, CNN, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Good Morning America, and The Doctors—and working with Nike, Boost Athletic Shoes, RadioShack, and the LA Lakers.
In 2007, Shaun T created the phenomenally successful dance-based workout, Hip Hop Abs®. A year later, he followed that with another big hit—Rockin' Body®.
In 2009, Shaun T and Beachbody blew up the fitness world with the launch of INSANITY®, a 60-day total-body conditioning workout that's insanely hard—but gets incredible results.
Over the next few years, the INSANITY workout series continued to grow with the launch of INSANITY: THE ASYLUM®, the sports-specific training program based on drills used by pro athletes.
Then in 2013, Shaun T again revolutionized the fitness industry by creating FOCUS T25®, a jam-packed workout program that makes every minute count, so you can get an hour's worth of results in just 25 minutes.
In 2014, with INSANITY MAX:30, Shaun T lays down a new challenge—to push yourself to a new personal best every time you work out. It's the craziest 30 minutes of your day, but he gives you all the tools you need to get the best results of your life.
Shaun T has returned to his personal love of dancing. In 2015, he created CIZE®. The four-week program is so much fun that while you learn to dance, you won't even realize you are getting a great cardio workout. CIZE truly is "The end of exercize."
