Today we’d like to introduce you to Monica Perras.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
As a health and wellness advocate and fitness enthusiast, I watched average men and women go in and out of “regular” gyms like a revolving door. It pained me knowing that they were not successful with their fitness and weight loss journeys. It compelled me to want to create a safe and supportive space for average folks to learn how to develop a healthier lifestyle without the intimidation and fear of failing. This is how the MVP Transformation Fitness concept was born.
We help people that struggle with their weight, suffer from weight-related health issues, or simply may be self-conscious to work out in traditional gym settings. What is more, if they do identify a gym that is a good fit (usually based on budget or location) most people are challenged to determine the most effective diet to align with their new fitness routine. We asked at MVP Transformation Fitness who is keeping them accountable and motivated to maintain this new lifestyle change? A gym that supports and focuses on working with its members in a customizable manner is difficult to find. MVP Transformation is needed and different from other local gyms in the area. Our goal is to become the ultimate go-to fitness facility for those who need support, inspiration, and guidance on how to finally be successful in reaching their goals. We believe it is our responsibility as lifestyle and nutritional practitioners to be that foundation and motivation for our members.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
Aside from not being at the optimal location in terms of foot traffic and visibility, we have faced a substantial decline in clients and members post-pandemic as a primary obstacle. We believe that a huge part of that decline is due to the massive stress, lifestyle shift, and lack of mobility among other factors which has caused a major shift in some to want to work out. Though exercise is a great anti-stress and anti-depressant, often it may not be viewed as such. We believe that once you take the first step, which is the decision to want to change your lifestyle habits, get fit, and feel better, frequent exercise can become a priority and a “happy place” in one’s life.
One other obstacle is competing with brand box gyms that most folks are familiar with. The difference between those gyms and an independent gym such as ours is that they operate mostly in “volume” or quantity and not quality. Not that those gyms don’t offer a space to be successful. But we operate with quality in mind. We want the folks that consider the bigger gyms as intimidating, not personable, and overwhelming. And we feel that those are everyday people. So conveying that message with resonation, at times, has been a challenge. We can easily be thrown in a box without much differentiation.
As you know, we’re big fans of MVP Transformation Fitness LLC. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?

What matters most to you?
Here is my WHY: Obesity at epidemic proportions, we live in a society that constantly sends conflicting messaging such as “eat better”, “get healthy”, and “workout.” However, there seems to be no real guidance or long-term solutions (not counting the quick fixes) offered to obtain those implied messages. This can be disheartening to those who struggle with their weight and weight-related health issues. Sure, there are thousands of gyms and no shortage of dietary supplements, but most of these fitness centers (corporate gyms) primarily offer access to gym equipment and group classes relatively cheaply. They often, however, lack a whole body/mind support approach required to facilitate true member success. It seems that many people are only paying for the “idea” of getting healthy (and many gyms are capitalizing) to end up disappointed and see very little results. For many, this ends up being a perpetual cycle at best. MVP Transformation Fitness offers a much better custom approach to help stop this cycle at the core.
