ON CAMERA
Reporters from across television, internet, and print media industries were gathered in force today in Vero Beach, Florida, in the shadow of the brand new headquarters of VilaroFitness, the fastest-growing fitness brand in the world. Recently the company moved from Barcelona to the United States to grow its brand into an international powerhouse and nowhere is that more possible than here in the United States.
It was a beautiful spring day, warm enough that most of the people gathered around at the steps outside of the building were in polo shirts and shorts. A podium stood at the top of the stairs with an attached microphone. Behind it, attached to the building above the panels of glass which line the front entrance, a large LED screen projected an animated Vilaro Fitness logo with the slogan “For A Better You” sweeping underneath.
Across the street, a crowd of onlookers was growing along the police-enforced barrier. Most of them were enthusiastic supporters of the company’s founder and CEO, Marisol Vilaro. They waved signs and sported t-shirts with supportive messages. However, there was a not-inconsequential number of antagonists who dislike Vilaro due to her appearances in UPRISING and other wrestling companies; many of them were there simply to try and disrupt the event.
Security was in full force, filled by off-duty police officers with arrest powers. It was prudent to ensure the safety of everyone at the press conference after what happened in Tokyo, where an angry wrestling fan attacked Marisol. They pushed back against the anti-Vilaro contingent and forced them to stay peaceful or risk getting cuffed and shoved in the back of a wagon.
There are a dozen people flanking the podium, all of them dressed in smart, sophisticated warm weather suits and spring fashion dresses, all of them representatives of either VilaroFitness, the Niels Gram Foundation, or the city of Vero Beach. The foundation was, of course, being represented by Yelena Gorgo, daughter of the deceased Niels Gram who the wrestling world knew as Spiral. She was the chairperson of the foundation and the driving force behind today’s historic partnership.
Yelena, tall and built, was wearing a dark blue, sleeveless diamond knit midi dress by St. John with Alexandre Birman flats made with woven gold leather. The off-stage emcee announced her name first, earning a wave of applause as she walked around the line of businessmen and women to take center stage in front of the microphone.
Her eyes sweep across the crowd. Not only at the press, but also at the onlookers across the street, first at the group of pro-Vilaro fans but also to give the dissenters a moment of her attention before her eyes move back to the dozens of cameras pointed at her.
“I want to thank everyone for coming out here today,” she began without written notes. “This is important, what we’re doing. It may not seem like it right now. After all, you drive through any city or town in this country and you’ll see gyms everywhere, but the 24/7 business model these companies pitch isn’t actually helping anyone. They get you to sign up and then hope you never show up, because they make more money if you stay at home. They don’t care if you achieve your fitness goals. They don’t care if you become a better you. What they want is your checking account number and hope that you forget about the recurring charges when you stop showing up.”
Her right hand raised to point at Marisol, who stood just slightly behind her right shoulder. Yelena continued, “But VilaroFitness has never cared about draining your bank account. Marisol Vilaro began this company with an idea that every person, no matter how they look or feel, not only deserves a chance to better themselves, but if given the proper guidance, they lose weight. They can feel better about themselves. They can live a healthier life. That means more time to do the things they want to do. More time with their families. More time living.”
She looked forward again, this time past the reporters to the crowd. “There are people here today who know exactly what I’m talking about, and I’m sure Marisol is happy you are here. There are also people whose opinions on Marisol are tarnished by what you see on television. I can assure all of you that there is no one more dedicated to helping people than this woman. I believe in Marisol Vilaro.”
After a brief pause, her eyes move back to the members of the press. “And that is why I personally went to the board of directors of my father’s foundation and asked them to put their faith in me. Marisol built this company alone from the ground up, with nothing but a belief in herself driving her to succeed. Imagine what she can do with a real financial investment, with the support of one of the most respected charitable foundations in the world. Imagine what she can accomplish and how many people she can help if she no longer has to do it all on her own. And that is why we are here today. But don’t let me tell you about it. I think the woman herself should tell you why we are all gathered here on this beautiful day. Please, give it up for Marisol Vilaro!”
Hundred of people break out in applause as Marisol steps forward dressed in a purple pantsuit with black Christian Dior high-heel pumps; the prideful young woman first shakes hands with the woman who just introduced her. Looking at Yeleena Gorgo with a smile on her face the cameras flash at the sight of these two shaking hands. After a brief interaction, the Fitness Queen makes her way up to the podium; she rests her hands on it as she glances at the crowd scanning; she sees the mostly pro-Vilaro crowd in attendance; however, a vocal minor part of the audience seeking to try and disrupt the event caught her eye. However, she focused on the press as she spoke. “ I want to thank Yeleena Gorgo for that amazing introduction, I am so proud to be partnering with her and the Nials Graham Foundation, on this I have long looked up to the work the Nials Graham Foundation has done to make this world a better place for all of us.”
Marisol’s eyes returned to scanning the crowd as most quieted down to allow her to speak. The vocal minority is non-withstanding. However, they don’t keep the Spanish native’s attention for long as she spoke, her accent slightly poking out. “Now, yes the reason we are gathered here today is to talk about the very next chapter in the book of VilaroFitness, see when I founded this company nearly four years ago, I did so with one purpose, to help anyone, no matter their situation become the very best version of themselves they could be.” Marisol smiled proudly.
“ It started with the VilaroSystem, which isn’t just a weight loss system; it's a lifestyle change system. It gives power back to those who use it, the power once dominated by fear and anxiety. Power, that with people changing their lives this year, we have hit over three million subscribers I am very proud of that fact, I am even more proud at the individual stories I have received from several of them. I mean most notably Shaina, who has recently met her goals.” A calp can be heard as the number appears on the screen, and a picture of several of the success stories before and after also appears, Shaina being the last one, since she was the one mostly ever knew.
“You can follow Shania directly @dreambigshaina, as well check up on all of the stories at VilaroFitness.com/SuccessStories now Gorgo was right the 24 gym model while a great idea in concept, in theory, and for those who are already in shape, the convenience can’t be beat. But what about for those just starting their journeys? The ones who need the guidance but only have time to go during hours when trainers aren’t typically available to help you?” Marisol said proposing a question to her audience.
“Well, With the launch of our new VilaroFit gyms, not only are you getting a gym with all that you’d expect from a modern gym, that includes a clean well-maintained facility, a great layout, orginzed as well as the most state of the art cardio equipment, the best resistance training machines, as well as the free weights you need, along side other amenities such as a crossfit training area, indoor pool, rock climbing wall, as well as an area for classes, a recovery area for after long gurleing workouts. But the key to success is indvuailized attention and VilaroFit that is what we offer.” Marisol smiled brightly,as the layout, of what the gyms would look like popped up on screen, each area popping into view, from the pool to the locker rooms and everything in between.
“But what makes VilaroFit different, is for the first time ever we can guarantee that you will get the indivualized attention you need, not only are hiring the creme of the crop in terms of personal trainers, not only will we have them but with the Vilaro-Fit Smart watch you can get indivualized tips in gym on how to improve your workouts.” Marisol smiled as a prototype image of the wearables appear on screen as she, as a video then shows how they work within the gym environment.
“With the Vilaro-Fit Smartwatch and the brand new VilaroFit app on ios and Android, you too, even if you are working out in the middle of the night, can get the individualized workout plans you need to maximize your time effectively in the VilaroFit gym. After all, we all have busy lives, some of us have families we care for, and time is money, as they always say.” Marisol said with a beaming smile she was proud of this partnership. Marisol soon spoke again, as she said. “ Now, I know what all of you are asking when can you expect to enter a VilaroFit gym, and when can you get your hand on the VilaroFit smartwatch?
Marisol pointed to the video screen behind her that showed a map of the United States; it zeroed in first on the state of Flordia, showing a couple of dots. The first was in the Vero Beach area, and the next was farther south in Miami. It panned over to the western side of Flordia and placed a dot in the Tampa metro area. As Marisol smiled proudly after that, a date appeared of October 25th (can be changed up), as Marisol smiled saying. “You can begin your VilaroFit journey on the 25th of October this year; pre-orders for the VilaroFit Smart watch begin on May 1st and will be available on the 25th of October. You can order the VilaroFit Smartwatch for just 650 dollars directly from VilaroFitness.com, and VilaroFit dues will be 35 dollars a month, with no contract and no commitment. Because I believe that once you step foot into one of our gyms, you will want to continue on the journey to a better you.”
With that, the CEO of VilaroFitness and the Chairperson of the Nials Graham Foundation once again shake hands in front of the news cameras and everyone else watching. The flashbulbs again go off, sealing this new business partnership deal.
