The exercise is physically taxing as it requires jumping and endurance-style moves. They referred to their surrogate as “our angel” who became pregnant on Shaun’s 39^th birthday on May 2. The Camden, New Jersey native admits to being sexually abused as a youth, which prevented him at the time from understanding virtues such as ‘trust’ and ‘belief.’ Yet, the BODi Super Trainer now lives by the mantra ‘trust and believe’ and utilizes it as a means to achieving anything he puts his mind to. 

“I reflected back and equated this to my experiences as a child, and ability to get through that part of my life,” says the founder of Shaun T Inc.

“I truly believe that kids are built with this internal ability to persevere—and, knowing that first-hand, that perseverance was a foundation of my ‘trust and believe’ journey.” 

The creator of renowned programs such as INSANITY, FOCUS T25, Hip Hop Abs, and Transform: 20 further cites the mantra as having gotten him through his diverse career, and even through marriage and fatherhood.

After his retirement in 2000, he went back to Seattle and worked as an accountant in his parents’ business development company, and later moved to New York to pursue a modeling career, where he was discovered by a scout. Hence, he has no ex-wife to speak of.

A lot of Shaun’s childhood has been shrouded in mystery.

He found it difficult to accept his true identity at first, but then Shaun T made him realize that being gay is amazing. Scott Blokker and his older brother Kevin were raised in Seattle, where they played every possible sport there was, however, soccer was his passion. It was during his modeling career that he met Shaun T.

After a brief career performing on stage (The Ten Commandments: The Musical with Val Kilmer) and film (The Comebacks, House of Payne), he left whatever chance he had at acting behind to pursue a career in fitness.
