Chalene Johnson started developing businesses at the age of 13 by investing in used vehicles via auto auctions and reselling them to the public. After moving to California in the early "90s, she worked as a paralegal and applied to law school. At that time personal training was becoming very popular and she began training before and after work, she quickly realized that she had a passion for fitness.
Years later, she created a group exercise class that combined dance and kickboxing.
This led to the creation of TurboJam home fitness exercise program Since TurboJam, Johnson has launched the very similar TurboKick, PiYo, and Hip Hop Hustle which are all available in gyms in the United States and Australia.
She has also launched TurboFire, which is a Beachbody Digital Video Disc exercise program Chalene class at the Irvine Center Drive 24 Hour Fitness in Irvine, California every Sunday at 8:30am.
