Actress, AJ Johnson, at the age of 17 lost her mother to cancer. Several years later A.J.’s dad told her from his death bed, “you’re not able to save me, but take all of who you are and what you know and go save the world”. He may not have known that his words would lead her to redefine her life’s purpose and dedicate a good part of her life to doing just that.

When she is not sharing the screen with Julia Roberts, Ving Rhames or Sylvester Stallone, A.J.’ s so committed to her own healthy lifestyle and guiding others to and through theirs, that it’s brought her to being one of the most sought-after national and international lifestyle coaches and wellness advocates around. Her zest for health and wellness and her passion for philanthropy lead her to create THE AJ ZONE, Inc. In A.J.’s words, “THE AJ ZONE, Inc. is a wellness concierge business…whatever, whenever, however…if you’re interested in healthy living, we try to make it happen!”

It has been said, “anybody who’s anybody takes care of their body in THE AJ ZONE”...Living in THE AJ ZONE are a variety of actresses, recording artists, and athletes including Golden Globe winner Emily Blundt, Gabrielle Union, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Beyonce, Destiny’s Child Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, Lisa Raye McCoy, Tisha Campbell-Martin, Dallas Cowboys-Terrell Owens and Roy Williams and L.A. Dodger, Kenny Lofton and more.

When A.J. is not molding the hottest minds, bodies and souls of Hollywood, she is creating a wellness movement any way she can. Hosting and producing for television and radio, A.J. created a wellness segment on WE channels “Savvy”, hosted VH-1’s reality fitness competition, “From Flab to Fab” and is active with radio for the New York, Atlanta, Miami, Baltimore and Los Angeles areas. Currently, A.J. is on the newly developed Minority Council advisory board for GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) pharmaceuticals and has been the only non physician on a promotional tour for GSK’s ALLI, the first, FDA approved, over the counter weight loss pill. She can also be found hosting seminars and classes for corporations and magazines or even leading a group of celebrity clients in sunrise yoga during a celebrity island retreat. A.J. has addressed fitness and lifestyle issues for audiences including:

A.J. grew up in a very academic household in rural New Jersey. Even though she felt drawn towards the arts from a very young age, her academic household and guidance pushed A.J. to become a Psychology/Chemistry major at Spellman College in Atlanta, Ga. AJ graduated Magna cum Laude in Psychology but her artistic calling would not be silenced. “When it came time to finally decide between med school and Hollywood, I decided to give myself a year or two in L.A. to see what could happen…. I moved to LA, was there two months, and I’ve been working ever since.” AJ appeared on a number of television series and Director Spike Lee cast her immediately in her feature film debut School Daze. Roles in other feature films followed: Hollywood’s hall of fame House Party, Skin Deep, The Inkwell, Assassins with Sylvester Stallone, Dying Young with Julia Roberts, Sister Act with Whoopi Goldberg, and the critically acclaimed Baby Boy.
