Several years after the original Insanity series was released, Shaun T followed up the series with Insanity Asylum. Insanity, an intense max interval training program, was quickly touted as the most difficult workout program on the market with popularity and a following that continues to grow today. It was released in 2009 and became an instant hit, selling millions online and through infomercials. Soon after joining Beachbody, Shaun created the Insanity series. While teaching at Equinox, Beachbody reached out to Shaun and he joined their team. His background in theater and dance gave him an advantage when it came to choreographing routines and made his classes some of the most popular classes around. He began a career as a personal trainer at gyms across the country and also began teaching fitness classes. After gaining weight in college, Shaun wanted to change his body and teach others to do the same. He went onto college where he studied sports science and eventually pursued a degree in fitness.
Shaun grew up dedicating his life to sports, playing football, baseball and participating in track and field. Shaun is a world renowned fitness trainer and choreographer with a long list of credit below his belt, including Hip Hops Abs, Rockin’ Body, Focus T25 and the original Insanity series. Insanity Asylum is the second program in a series created by fitness trainer Shaun Thompson, commonly referred to as Shaun T. THE ASYLUM is state-of-the-art training that was once reserved for only top-tier athletes at Olympic training centers and exclusive sports performance labs.
