Leo Wright, born in 1981 in Brooklyn, NY lived most of his early life in the boroughs of New York City. He joined the military in his late teens where he discovered a passion for fitness. Leo had always been a skinny kid and never thought much about workingout, but training in the military was mandatory and it wasn’t long before he caught the bug.
After getting hooked on workouts, he added boxing, karate, and bodybuilding to his arsenal, and before long fellow soldiers were asking for help with their workouts. At first he started organizing workout groups, then personal training and nutritional programs for his friends, then eventually leading workout sessions of over 200 people!
He obtained his fitness credentials while serving, then continued his military style training at a local gym after being discharged, and started helping other gym members with their training.It was there that Leo discovered his passion for health and fitness as a career. He was a natural at motivating others in the military, so personal training and group fitness professionally was an obvious next step.
After working in various gyms thought NYC, he finally settled at the New York Health and Racquet Club in downtown Manhattan in 2006 where he continues to work as a personal trainer.At NYHRC Leo began to craft a uniquely styled class combining kickboxing, body sculpting, military style fitness and hip hop dance, which became an instant hit. Realizing an untapped market for “brides-to-be” looking to transform themselves quickly, Leo crafted a fun bridal boot camp style workout, and “Knock-Out Bride” was born.“Knock-Out Bride” became so popular it was featured in the New York Sun in May of 2008, and the rest was history. Leo’s Knockout Bride and other fitness classes became so popular people were lining up outside the room.
After observing the chaos, a filmmaker client of Leo’s suggested that he film his own fitness videos. Leo loved the idea and came up with the concept of the 5 Borough Workout, traveling the boroughs where he grew up, working out with local NYC residents.His first volume, filmed in the Fall of 2008 at Prospect Park in Brooklyn, was a huge hit locally. He has just finished completing Volume 2 which was filmed at Manhattan’s Battery Park, and was released in the Fall of 2009.In addition to being featured in the New York Sun, he has also been quoted in the New York Times, and featured on the WPIX New York Channel 11 News on their weekly Monday morning “Wakeup Workout”.Recently, Leo has expanded into modeling. He has modeled as Mr. July in a 2009 Calendar, and is currently working on other modeling projects in the NYC area.
