ctor Toby Johnson
(45) lives in the heart
of Hollywood, with his
wife of 15 years, Stacy,
and their eight year old
daughter, Tulsa. Growing up on
a farm in Kansas, the major athletic
endeavour of his life was not cycling, but
wrestling. He started at five years old and
wrestled all the way through college. As
captain of the wrestling team at Columbia
University in New York City, where he
graduated in 1990, he was voted 1st Team
“All Ivy”.
Injuries kept him from completing his
career as an “All American” wrestler, so
he decided to put all his physical training
knowledge to good use by buying two
gyms, one in Hollywood and another in
Manhattan Beach – about 24 kilometres
down the coast from Hollywood. Naturally
he has a huge celebrity membership at
the Hollywood club. Mostly because of
the location, but also because he keeps
it very private, shooing away the always
present paparazzi. Some of the members
that frequent the gym are Matt Bomer,
Eric Dane, Michael C Hall and Armie
Hammer – all spotted either wearing his
gym’s branded t-shirts or coming and
going from the gym. He is tight-lipped
about other famous members, so check
