Victoria Johnson

From the humble beginnings as one of eleven children of a migrant farm family, Victoria Johnson has overcome poverty, race discrimination, and eating disorders including obesity, anorexia, and bulimia, to become the nation's premier health and fitness "activist." Victoria is the owner and president of Victoria Johnson Intl., a consulting, marketing and management company. She has produced and starred in over 24 award-winning exercise and dance fitness videos, produced and starred in her own television show entitled "Victoria's Body Shoppe" and most recently authored her second book, Body Revival, Lose Weight, Feel Great and Pump Up Your Faith! Victoria was born in the South, where her own grandmother was the daughter of a slave. She spent her early years as a migrant worker.

Victoria grew up with 10 brothers and sisters, and it was during her childhood that she began a cycle of bingeing, purging, gaining and losing. For more than a decade, Victoria struggled with compulsive eating and bulimia.

Victoria has served as a corporate marketing and sales consultant as well as spokesmodel for L.A. Gear, Athletic Footwear, NutraSweet, and Nike. She is an internationally acclaimed professional speaker, lecturer, trainer, and business consultant to corporations, trade associations and fitness professionals worldwide. Victoria shares a message and a vision based on her positive, energetic approach to the business of health, nutrition, and exercise... One that inspires, motivates and empowers individuals to take control of BOTH their health and their life! Seeing her today, it is hard to imagine she once carried 170 pounds on her 5' 3" frame.

Glowing with good health and ENERGY today, Victoria is living proof that a long-term cycle of poor health can be broken. "In my classes and on my videos I always tell my students to get the right ATTITUDE," says Johnson. "So many times people get discouraged, so I really push confidence. I also tell my students, don't work out for how it makes you look, work out for how it makes you feel, because exercise means ENERGY and a longer life which is the bottom line." -

"The only power people have over you is the power you give them."
