Everyone loves turning to YouTube these days to discover some different workouts they can do right in the convenience of their homes. Back in the 1980s, it was a totally different story since the Internet wasn’t as modernized yet. People turned to workout videos or fitness shows if they wanted to get tips on how to up their health and get a toned body. The instructors who appeared in such shows and videos gained so much popularity and they later were dubbed “fitness celebrities.” Here are some of the most famous fitness icons from the 1980s and let’s see how they look like these days.

Denise Austin

Denise Austin pursued gymnastics growing up and later earned a physical education degree from the California State University, Long Beach. She later became a “fitness celebrity” who had DVDs, classes, books, and columns that were all about helping people to get fit. She also used to be a part of the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. Austin has a daughter who has pursued a career as a fitness instructor as well.

Heather Locklear

Actress Heather Locklear was a very in-demand name in the Hollywood industry during the ’80s and the ’90s who is most remembered for the roles she had in shows like Dynasty, Melrose Place, and Spin City. Locklear had her own workout video back then called Your Personal Workout. These days, it seems like Locklear needs to focus on improving her overall lifestyle because she is reportedly struggling with her mental health and some vices. No matter, she still looks amazing and we really hope that she will be back on her feet soon!
