Johnny Torres

Biography

Like a true pioneer, Johnny Torres views obstacles as little more than hurdles to be cleared as he moves toward his avowed goal of providing continue education in fitness and health.

Johnny began teaching aerobics as a teenager due to the encouragement of friends and instructors. He soon thereafter received his AFAA Instructors Certification. Johnny honed his skills as an instructor at Nautilus Plus, Paradise Dance and Aerobics, eight years in L.A. Workout with a concurrent stint at other clubs including the world-renowned Voight Fitness and Dance Center. Currently, he is Aerobics Coordinator for LA Fitness Executive Sports Club while also teaching at Sports Club LA and Pacific Athletic Club.

With a strong desire for continuing education, Johnny has been working on a major in Kinesiology at Cal State University at Northridge. Reflecting on the state of education in the field of fitness in the early 1980s, Johnny recalls the sparsely of good information available. Sparked by a strong desire to find reasons, he embarked on a decade-long search. His solutions have transformed him into one of the power players in this field. As an innovator, Johnny is driven by the desire to answer the questions to which there were no apparent answers and to share his knowledge with others.

His passion for perfection combined with boundless enthusiasm for new challenges propels a schedule that only the fittest could survive. Education continued in 1988 in the field of Personal Fitness Training, and Johnny completed the AFAA Personal Trainer/Counselor Certification. He then began to serve a long list of personal clients as well as his involvement in the aerobics industry. Johnny has been featured in three fitness video productions: Circuit Training Excitement, Everyone Can Exercise, and AFAA's Basic Exercise Standards and Guidelines. He is a published writer on exercise technique and nutritional supplementation. Johnny has been sought out to serve as a judge for competitive aerobic competitions including AFAA's programs.

Johnny conducts special workshops and seminars providing instructor education both in the US and internationally. He has presented on topics from anatomy and Kinesiology to nutrition and aerobic dance instructor creativity. Johnny has donated his professional talents to many worthy charities including Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy, American Heart Association, and he is especially proud to have been named the Los Angeles Workout For Hope/City of Hope's 1996 Co-Chair person.

His latest endeavor is a new company, Fitness and Beyond, providing educational seminars, marketing newly-developed products, and generating important information on how to achieve a better, healthier lifestyle. He is once again off to chart some fascinating new territories in the field of fitness.
