Who Is Peter Steinfeld?
Peter Steinfeld was born on 29 June 1960, in Long Island, New York State USA. He has a twin brother named Andrew and an older brother named Jake, who is famous for owning the fitness brand Body by Jake and other business ventures, on top of appearing on TV several times. Though his name is Peter, he often shorts it to Pete. The Steinfelds are Jewish.
While not much is known about Peter’s childhood and upbringing, it’s revealed that his father was a salesman and book author. Peter and his brothers were introduced to the world of fitness from an early age thanks to their father, who once brought a set of weights home and encouraged Jake to start working out. The twins Peter and Andrew would follow in their older brother’s steps, as Jake told The Los Angeles Times in 1994.
Early Career
Peter Steinfeld’s start in the fitness and bodybuilding industry was in the 1980s. At the time, his older brother Jake had gained considerable fame as a personal trainer for celebrities, eventually starting his company Body By Jake, which had Peter and Andrew as trainers.
Once Jake debuted on TV and his schedule became very busy, he often left the company in charge of his younger brothers. However, the twins also became acquainted with the entertainment industry on their own, with Peter having small roles in several shows and shorts; the most memorable were as Elijah Bandini in “Happy Days”, and as himself in “Matlock” portraying three characters in the sitcom “Married With Children”.
On top of his work in front of cameras, Peter was also a behind-the-scenes trainer in movies such as “The Principal”, “Made in U.S.A.” and “Limit Up”, all of them in the late 1980s.
His Career Now
While Body By Jake is still active and under Jake Steinfeld’s command, it’s unclear whether Peter is still involved with the family business. Nonetheless, these days Peter is a certified Personal Trainer Sports Nutritionist who works with celebrities, including his famous daughter Hailee, who has affirmed several times that he’s ‘the most incredible guy’ not only as a trainer but as a father.
In 2017 Peter appeared in the music video for Hailee’s song “Most Girls”, which shows them training together as part of the girls-empowerment message of the song. Peter has also played a big role in Hailee’s success, as he was in charge of her training to get the role of Kate Bishop in the series “Hawkeye” and as Mattie Ross in “True Grit”, on top of accompanying her during her music tours.

She went on to release several successful singles and the extended plays “Haiz” and “Half Written Story”. She’s also modeled for brands such as Louis Vuitton and Prada, on top of supporting a wide variety of charity organizations.
Famous Brother & Family
The Steinfeld family are creatives, some of them deeply involved with the entertainment industry. However, the first of them to dare taste the waters of stardom was Jake Steinfeld, Peter’s older brother.
Following his start in fitness and bodybuilding in the late 1970s and starting his company Body by Jake, the oldest Steinfeld brother launched the fitness networks FitTV and ExerciseTV. In 1979 he debuted as an actor in the comedy “Americathon” and had a main role in the 1980 movie “Home Sweet Home”, amongst many other series and films.
Nonetheless, Jake’s claim to fame came when he starred in the series “Big Brother Jake”, which aired from 1990 to 1994.
Jake is also an author, having released several fitness-centered books such as “Body by Jake” and “PowerLiving by Jake”.
Although the Steinfeld brothers were all involved in the fitness industry at some point, only Peter and Jake are still working in this field, as Andrew nowadays works as a realtor based in California.
