John Travolta – Then

Anyone who has seen the iconic 1970s musical rom-com movie Grease certainly knows who John Travolta is. His role as Danny Zuko put him in the spotlight and we can’t deny that we certainly had the hots for the young Travolta.

He was definitely eye candy, and his charming good looks got him not only a loyal fanbase but also a slew of other movie projects that furthered his career in Hollywood. He went on to star in many romantic comedies such as the Perfect. And that, as well as many other movie roles, probably added more money in his bank account than he could imagine.

In Perfect, his and Jamie lee Curtis’s aerobic workout routine became a source of secondhand embarrassment for viewers around the world. Albeit infamous, this scene continues to remain a resource for innumerable memes. John was predominantly known for his dancing skills, which he displayed in many a film, including Saturday Night Fever. These films were incredibly popular and catapulted Travolta into the big league.

While he was known for his cringe-y fitness boo-boo scene earlier in his career, he isn’t too much into fitness now but he prefers sinking his teeth into a myriad of roles including, Pulp Fiction, Hairspray, Swordfish, Ladder 49, Be Cool, Lonely Hearts, and Wild Hogs.

Bolt and it just goes to show that he’s quite the talented actor. Many of his films earned him awards, accolades, and of course, Academy Award nominations.

He has also been hosting various award shows now and recently hinted on his Instagram account that he will be putting his career on hold as he wanted to be there for his children, after losing his wife to cancer.

Jake Steinfeld – Then

In the world of fitness, especially. back in the ’80s, a lot of women ruled and dominated this field. Jake Steinfeld was one of the few men who began his career in this field all the way back in 1979.

The Brooklynite grew his wealth through his various fitness training businesses. He started his spin-off through Body by Jake® on fitness television platform. But of course, in his early days, Jake actually worked closely with Hollywood actors.

One interesting fact about him is that back in his hey days, he was actually the personal trainer of big names in Hollywood like the iconic Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg whom he worked with during the filming of two Indiana Jones movies. That was proof enough that Jake was a fitness expert.

He also launched an online digital platform, FitOrbit. On this platform, he lets his personal trainers have a live interaction with clients online. Steinfield continues to set himself as an epitome of a fit and healthy lifestyle while also doing his service as the Chairman of the National Foundation for Governors’ Fitness Councils.

He keeps telling people that fitness need not be fancy. In times like this, he helps people to stay in shape using their household items such as broomsticks, chairs, canned goods or water bottles to get their body moving. Great tips!

Gilad Janklowicz – Then

The Israeli fitness instructor shot to tremendous fame with the 1983 aerobic workout tape Bodies in Motion. He came to be known as one of the first instructors to get a program aired on ESPN.
