Who Are the Workout Partners on P90X?

Before P90X was launched in 2004, Tony Horton was approached by executives from Beachbody to put together a mastermind group of fitness experts to showcase different workouts in the yet-to-be-filmed video series. Tony immediately responded with the names of some experts he knew, like Wesley Idol who would bring the martial arts aspect into the production; and Dreya Weber, who had a solid gymnastic background. For others like Eric Stolhanske, the opportunity to appear in the series came in the form of a flyer on the wall of his gym. People who answered the casting call were the "test group" who met six days a week for 90 days. Eric was then approached by Tony to be one of the workout partners in the P90X video series.
