Leslie Sansone (born February 14, 1961) is an American fitness instructor from New Castle, Pennsylvania. Since her first video was published in 1980,[1] she has released over a hundred DVDs and four books.[2] Sansone heavily promotes low-impact walking exercises,[3] resulting in a business self-reported to be worth $200 million.[1] Since the beginning of 2020 Sansone has not been seen in new videos or on social media , and while the Walk at Home label is still operating, questions asking where Leslie is and what is her current connection to the brand, have been left unanswered.
