Terry Shorter

TERRY SHORTER

Before entering the fitness world, Terry Shorter took center stage in the entertainment industry. Shorter was a successful singer-songwriter/music producer and dancer, which is why it came as no surprise when this endless list of talents translated into an even more inspiring and influential master fitness instructor.

In July of 2008, Terry desired something new; he knew with his talents in music and a drive for fitness, he had a good formula, “I’m a singer, songwriter, and I wanted to find something where I could integrate my passions,” said Shorter. Together with business partner Alex Isaly, they founded the fitness partnership B3 FIT, Inc. and created what the pair was looking for, “We basically took the best of our interests, blended them, stirred it up, and out popped R.I.P.P.E.D. The One Stop Body Shock.”

Since his entertainment career, Terry has now developed a long list of success and credentials in Health and Fitness. He has instructed at many 24 Hour Fitness clubs, Bodies In Motion, Sports Club Irvine, Linda Evan’s, Equinox, and Renaissance Club Sport. He has presented at the IDEA conference, master taught up-and-coming instructors, has been photographed for proper form and technique in various instructional manuals, has written featured fitness articles for the OC Register, and was recently selected as one of lululemon athletica’s Fitness Ambassadors. He has been featured in instructional cardio kickboxing videos, including “Turbo Jam” the No. 1 fitness infomercial in history. Terry is AFAA group exercise certified and Red Cross CPR/AED certified.
