Jumpstart Jonny

Jump Start Jonny is a fitness superstar on a mission to get kids fit! His whooptastic workouts are loved in schools and homes across the UK, Ireland, USA and Australia (to name just a few countries!) and he's successfully fighting childhood obesity and helping kids get fit! Be warned - you'll probably hear him before you see him! WHOOOPA!

Jump Start Jonny’s real-life alter ego is Jonny Stewart. Jonny absolutely LOVES exercise, particularly because it helps him burn his excess energy and control his Tourette’s.

As a child, Jonny was never that good at sport as he was too busy running, jumping and spinning around to concentrate. But he tried his best at whatever he did and eventually went on to play squash for Sussex.

Jonny’s plan was to become a primary school teacher, but while training at Brighton University, he fell in love with group exercise and decided to become a fitness instructor instead. After qualifying, Jonny started teaching adult classes and arranged to do a flashmob in his local town centre to promote them. To help people learn the flashmob routine, he uploaded a video to YouTube.

Jonny’s sister was a primary school teacher in London during this time and heard about the flashmob routine on YouTube. One day, she decided to use it with her year 4 class as a way to get the children moving more – and it was a hit! The children absolutely LOVED Jonny’s workout and asked to do it every single day!

And so Jump Start Jonny was born!

Jonny’s energy and enthusiasm are infectious, and today there are over 250,000 Jumpsters around the world having fun with his whooptastic workouts! Why don’t you join them? Give our free stuff a go and experience the fun for yourself! WHOOOPA
