DENISE AUSTIN – 66 YEARS OLD

Like some artists, Denise Austin also started young in her career. However, hers is one in the fitness industry. At the young age of 12, she started her fitness journey as an athletic scholar at the University of Arizona. Soon, she found her wind, took flight and became a big name in the industry. Austin became the face of fitness in the ’80s through the ’90s. She recorded all her sessions and routines in videotapes and wrote a book and in newspapers’ fitness columns. At her age now, Austin still looks like she’s only in her 30s, and she credits this to her active and healthy lifestyle.

Austin was born in San Pedro, Los Angeles, California. She started training in gymnastics, which opened doors for an athletic college scholarship. Her husband is a sports agent and former tennis athlete Jeff Austin. They have been happily married for a number of decades.
