About TeamLaLanne.org

TeamLaLanne.org is an independent, not-for-profit endeavor with no affiliation to JackLaLanne.com or any other commercial organization. It is a production of TeamHuman.org which believes that the health of the human race is improved by individuals taking charge of their own health and fitness, a message very much aligned with Jack LaLanne's philosophy.

The Team LaLanne website is run by Steve Chervitz Trutane, shown here with sons Russell (7) and Perry (3, in arm). Steve is a dedicated triathlete in the SF Bay Area who, in addition to having done numerous triathlons since 1993, has done some feats of strength of his own.

Jack LaLanne has been an inspirational figure in Steve's life ever since he was a baby when his Mom (Judy Chervitz) stayed in shape via Jack's TV shows. She also bought the copy of the 1959 Glamour Stretcher Time album that Steve is holding in the photo, (yes that is in fact blue see-through vinyl -- Jack was ahead of his time there, too). Steve currently works out at the very same Berkeley YMCA at which Jack got started on his fitness path.
