The NFHOF Induction Class of 2025.
The individuals representing the Class of 2025 are terrific. It’s one thing to read the extensive accomplishments of these health & fitness professionals, but its surreal to meet them in person for the first time.
Dr. Jerry Moylan’s legendary feasts of strength and fitness endurance are nothing in comparison to his dynamic brain, that’s even bigger than his body. The Doc’s passion for getting people well, fit and happy is without reproach.
Kari Anderson is visually stunning; tall, slim and graceful looking and just as fit as she was when her produced her first video over 40 years ago. Besides releasing over 30+ best-selling videos and DVDs and being an internationally known presenter, this wonderful wife, mother of three and grandmother of four keeps busy teaching clients and instructing classes in her Seattle gym.
Danny “Mountain of Muscle” Torgl has a presence about his that is undeniable. Officially known as the "Master of Body Sculpting," Danny is a dynamic person that you must meet. Accompanied to the ceremony by his wonderful wife Tawnya (who is equally physically impressive) and surrounded by an entourage of close friends from his OnPoint Gym in Wofford Heights, these Californians came ready to party!
Several past inductees participated in the weekend activities including: Bill Crawford, Mark Rothstein, Greg Justice, Esther Gutiérrez-Sloan, Anibal Lopez, John “The Beast” Azari, Richard Derwald, Frank “Rudy” Ruettiger and Tom Campanaro.
