In the life of a fitness junkie there is nothing better than
experiencing the high of a body shredding, sweat depleting workout. However, to
truly appreciate such a peak, a person must endure the associated valleys.
Perry Merlotti, owner of Merlotti Muscle realized the low end
of the spectrum on May 20, 2010, when he underwent a procedure to repair a torn
bicep tendon, an injury that would subsequently sideline him for six months.
Suddenly, the ultra-competitive guy, who took the gold at the
2007 Show Me Naturals Bodybuilding Competition in the middle-weight bracket,
could not lift his school books. To Perry, you cannot truly appreciate what you
have until you have been stripped of such a privilege. The rehabilitation and
treatment Perry endured after the surgery was difficult, but the process of
regaining his physical health paled in comparison to the mental challenge
associated with the deprivation of his one true passion.
Fast forward to May 21, 2011, exactly a year and a day after
the surgery, which marked the day that Perry rereleased himself to the fitness
world at the WBFF Central Championship Bodybuilding Show. Soon thereafter,
Perry would become the youngest competitor in history to place in the top 5 at
the WBFF International Championship Competition. The performance and the
obstacles preceding the show represent Perry Merlotti’s hunger for perfection,
a value he wishes to pass on to others.
These obstacles and experiences serve as the catalyst for
Merlotti Muscle, a company that is dedicated to changing the lives of those who
are determined to pursue their fitness goals. In addition to a wealth of
knowledge over all aspects of fitness, Perry is equipped with a degree in
Health Wellness & Promotion, Level 1 and Level 2 Poliquin Training
Certifications (PICP), and Level 1 Bio-Signature Training Certification. With
these qualifications, and using Merlotti Muslce as the mouthpiece, Perry
strongly believes he can help others achieve a level of health and fitness that
they never thought was possible.
Currently, Perry has maintained an unrivaled level of fitness,
which has opened the eyes to the elite personalities in world of bodybuilding.
Perry says his inner beast and love for competition is main
inspiration, which drives him to compete. His hard work led to opportunities
that were once only a dream, and he has recently been featured in countless
publications.
