'90s fitness tycoon Susan Powter is opening up about how she lost her workout empire.
The exercise legend, 67, who was best known for her platinum buzzcut and popular Stop the Insanity! infomercial, recruited endless people to take on an active lifestyle and a healthy diet. However, bad business deals and a series of lawsuits led the star to lose her fortune, as well as her business. A new documentary, executive-produced by Jamie Lee Curtis, titled Stop the Insanity: Finding Susan Powter, reveals the rise and fall of the fitness star.
On Tuesday, Powter sat down with Savannah Guthrie and Craig Melvin on Today to share her story, explaining that she now pays the rent by delivering for Uber Eats. Powter said part of the reason her fortune diminished is that she never monitored it.
“Quite simply, the ‘90s were a different game," Powter shared. There were managers after managers after agents. There were layers. You couldn’t get to information then. You couldn’t get to analytics then. And I was running like a racehorse. I was raising my children, commuting back and forth, going to the big meetings, and then going to the baseball games. I take full responsibility. I never checked. I never said, ‘Where’s the money?’ I never said that.”
Despite her wealth being gone, she's proud that she does whatever she has to in order to pay the bills.
“I’m a worker bee. So, I have never stopped working, not one moment. That’s why my children are so proud,” said Powter, who works as an Uber Eats driver. “Nothing is beneath me. I will work, I’ll do anything, and I have.”
She's Looking to Make a Comeback
Powter shared that through it all, she's found tremendous strength in her ability to survive.
“I’m proud that I survived. I didn’t think my being would make it. I didn’t think my energy would survive," she shared. "Jamie Lee is the one who said to me, ‘You are alive. You survived.’”
She's also set her sights on a comeback. But this time, she's going to make sure she surrounds herself with the right people.
“I want to be able to do what I’ve done once before, which was miraculous, in and of itself. And this time it will be properly managed,” she stated. “And Savannah said before we came on, ‘You deserve good people around you this time.’ So, I want to do my work and I want to have a chance.”
