He was a Mr. Junior America bodybuilding champion and a one-time Mr. Florida. He suffered a serious injury in 1983 that left him two herniated discs, a cracked vertebra and a dislocated knee. While recuperating Tony developed a home fitness program that eventually became a book titled "One on One with Tony Little: The Complete 28-Day Body Sculpting and Weight Loss Program". The book was moderately popular, selling several thousand copies. More importantly, the book inspired Tony to translate his program into a VHS fitness tape.
Thanks to his infomercials that constantly play around the world 365-days a year, to date Tony has sold more than 50 million copies of his VHS tapes, generating over $4 billion in revenue.
Little has two children, Tara, who was born in 1987 and Trent, who was born in 1988. He is married to Melissa Hall, who is fitness model, though she is not the biological mother to his children. Together, the couple has twin boys, Cody and Chase, who were born in November of 2009.
