Today we’d like to introduce you to Desi and Victoria Johnson II.
Hi Desi and Victoria, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
As busy family professionals trying to manage a healthy lifestyle, our careers and children, we recognized a demand for wellness education and fitness for individuals that lived a similar lifestyle to ours. We also saw an opportunity to provide these services to companies that were looking to reduce healthcare costs, maximize their employee’s productivity and boost morale. This niche market needed guidance on work-life balance, stress management, nutrition and how to exercise. Hence, Des2Fit Corporate Wellness was born. Currently, Des2Fit is a virtual and in-person health wellness fitness education company.
As a Financial Executive and my wife and business partner, a Respiratory Therapist, as well as entrepreneurs with three children, we have first-hand experience in balancing a healthy lifestyle with the demands of being working professionals. At Des2Fit, we focus on our “White Collar Fitness” approach to a healthy lifestyle. We provide fitness education through seminars and our White Collar Fit Camps as well as our general online virtual community. Group fitness classes are designed for all fitness levels. We are staffed with experienced health coaches, nutrition specialists, certified personal trainers, group fitness instructors and respiratory therapists. We have worked with start-ups to Fortune 500 companies and national non-profits organizations.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The biggest struggle for Des2Fit has been the pandemic. Fortunately, we were able to adapt quickly to continue to deliver our services to our corporate clients due to the uncertainty of the Corona Virus. We also moved our business out of the gym and created virtual fitness classes, personal training as well as home and gym, nutrition and fitness programs using our fitness app. We have received local and national attention for our state-of-the-art platforms.
We’ve been impressed with Des2Fit/Des2Fit Corporate Wellness, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Due to the pandemic, we went from a regional Metro-Detroit organization to a national brand. Because of this growth with our online virtual community, we have clients all over the country. Our “FitFam” are able to have access to Des2Fit 24/7/365 to pre-recorded and live stream classes. Not only do we provide a fun and supportive community, our clients also have access to custom-designed fitness and nutrition programs included in our fitness app.
What’s next?
Our goal in the future is to continue to grow our virtual community and to also continue to positively impact companies with our corporate wellness services.

So happy to see Des and his wife become a feature in this magazine! They are truly a great representation of how American families should work out together. The husband and wife beating any odds and also including lessons despite this pandemic. The care they have for health it’s amazing I’m proud of them their approach to working out . Instructing is amazing the only thing to be confused is who’s the better coach hahah I think Mrs Des is the leader of the pack ⭐️
