In 1991, fresh off the ranch from a small town outside of San Antonio, TX, Monica, an athlete and equestrian, hit the industry by storm, ushering in the recognition of a fitness model and athlete into the bodybuilding world!
Since her first appearance as a cover girl for Muscle & Fitness Magazine in November 1994, Monica gained momentum and still remains at the top of the female fitness world, evident by her unprecedented national and international magazine exposure of over 100 covers and almost as many articles/interviews to this date with fans worldwide.
Competitively, Monica obtained highly sought-after titles:
*1st ever IFBB Fitness Professional Athlete 1995
*IFBB Fitness Olympia Champion 1998
*WBFF World’s Pro Figure Champion 2010 & 2013
*PCA Championships Overall Women’s Figure Champion 2016
She also appeared on stage with multiple top 3 placings in the span of 25 years between 'Fitness & Figure' Competitions.
As an athlete, Monica is a fan of many types of training, not only for herself but for her clients as well. She has kept sprints in her program for 25 years, which led her to purchase spikes and train competitively in the USATF Master's program. She earned All American awards and top 3 spots of her age group in the USA for all 3 of her favorite races; 100m, 200m and 400m (running 12.61, 26.02, 59.76).
Besides physique-type training and sprints, she has tackled Spartan OCR (Obstacle Course Racing) and ANW (American Ninja Warrior) training as well!
Certified through ISSA, and an IBNFC Nutrition Coach, Monica travels worldwide sharing her passion for health and fitness through both guest appearances and her personal women's fitness events, F.E.M. Camp™, founded in 2004, and Body & Soul a Women's Retreat founded in 2016.
During 2020 she launched The Monica Brant Show, bridging the legendary athletes that helped form the history of bodybuilding and fitness to the current leaders of the industry today.
In 2023, Monica launched her podcasts, Minutes with Monica and the Radiantly Living, podcast on Substack where she shares her deep dives, thoughts, and ideas on scripture and how to apply God’s Word, the Truth, to her walk of life through her personal devotionals.
