Tony Little, America’s Personal Trainer asks
“How many summers do we have?”

Tony Little, legendary fitness guru, known as “America’s Personal Trainer” is here at NOVA 535 Unique Event Space in gorgeous downtown St. Pete, Florida today filming another top notch fitness video, I’m guessing his millionth.2014 03-19 Tony Little with Red Lizard Films at NOVA 535 IMG_7390 (106) tony next to KSPL

And as always, Tony is so willing to stop and let us shoot a quick photo, this one pimping our Keep St. Pete Local sign made by another local industry stud, metal artist Frank Strunk III. (We Love ya Frank!)

Ok, well maybe not his 1,000,000 videos but he’s been a household name for as long as I can remember, and (after a quick Googling) his fitness products have grossed over $3 billion globally. Yes, that’s over $ 3 BILLION. Tony seemingly never runs short on good energy and enthusiasm and that certainly carries over with his production team, one of Tampa Bay’s top film production crews, Rob and Christine Allen’s Red Lizard Films. They are some of my favorite film people for so many reasons.

What’s awesome about working with Tony and Rob and Christine from Red Lizard films is that, unlike most all shoots that run long, their shoots are tight, and usually end early. These ladies and gents are true pros!

And during one of his inspired shots, Tony Little, America’s Personal Trainer asks “How many summers do we have?”. His point really hit me as yes we move along each day, some are good, some bad and many seem to just get lost in the daze of our busy work efforts. When you think about the number of summers or Thanksgivings or such, it really makes us focus on wow, how many do we actually have? And have left?? What is truly important? And how can we be more focused and positive and productive and awesome like Tony?

Thanks Tony, for always inspiring, leading and making us smile, while we get in better shape!  Yes, WE CAN DO IT!!
