meet George Jones: The Man Behind the Gloves
George's journey is a testament to the power of passion, perseverance, and the pursuit of excellence across diverse fields. From the early days of his childhood in Detroit, George was not just another kid; he was an athlete at heart, embodying the spirit of competition and the relentless pursuit of personal bests. His love for fitness and sports wasn't merely a hobby; it was a calling, a way of life that he embraced wholeheartedly.
Military, Music, and Fitness
When George joined the U.S. Army and arrived in Germany in the mid 1980s, he found a new arena for his fitness passion, becoming a leading fitness instructor and a drill instructor. Here, amidst the discipline and rigor of army life, George's commitment to fitness and athleticism flourished, becoming an integral part of his identity. Yet his talents and passions were not confined to the athletic field. Music and entertainment pulsed through his veins just as vigorously. These twin passions – fitness and music – developed in tandem, each feeding into and enriching the other. In the unique environment of the Army, George found like-minded souls, fellow soldiers who shared his love for music. Together, they rocked stages at local German venues near their base. This blend of music, fitness, and camaraderie was a glimpse into George's future path.
Star Power to Staying Power
After the army, George's musical career took flight as the founder, choreographer, lead singer, and songwriter of the popular group, Mr. President. Their hit "Up’n Away" earned a gold record, a testament to George's talent, creativity, and hard work. But even as he toured and performed, George's passion for fitness remained a constant companion. His transition to a fitness trainer and TV personality was as natural as it was inevitable. He combined his love of music and exercise as the star fitness trainer for “Big Diet”/"The Biggest Loser", a daily television show produced by Endemol in Cologne, Germany where overweight contestants competed to lose pounds and get into shape.
Celebrity & Sport: From the Stage to the Ring
With his magnetic personality and natural gift as an entertainer, George enjoyed significant success on the German entertainment scene, developing and starring in the fitness show “Come On Baby” and contributing as a columnist for Glamour Magazine (Germany) for two years. He has produced and starred in workout videos, written books, created motivational music. Alongside his flourishing entertainment and fitness career, George also honed his boxing skills by serving as a sparring partner to the German Heavyweight Boxing Champ Kim Webber and Middleweight contender Jerry Elliott, further solidifying his expertise in both fitness and competitive sports.
