The MVP Challenge starts

Train Like An MVP, For An MVP
This year, our four-year-old daughter, Monroe Vivian Peterson, was diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer, AML Leukemia.
For months, she has faced this battle with more grit, determination, and positivity than I’ve ever seen. She hasn’t backed down, she doesn’t quit, and she moves forward with a smile on her face every day.
To honor her strength, we’re launching the MVP Challenge—a 4-week fitness challenge where we’ll come together as a community, push ourselves, and raise funds to support children’s cancer treatment and research.
Join the Movement and Make Every Move Count
The MVP Challenge is more than just a fitness challenge—it’s a movement. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just getting started, this challenge has something for you.
4 Weeks of Guided Workouts
I’ll guide you through workouts designed to challenge and transform you, no matter your fitness level.
Exclusive Access to Me
Each week, I’ll host AMA sessions where you can ask me anything about training, nutrition, and staying on track. You ask, I answer.
Prizes for Putting in the Work
Never skip. Never quit. That’s how you’ll have a chance to win prizes throughout the challenge.
A Supportive Community
You won’t be doing this alone. We’ll build strength together and support a cause bigger than ourselves.

How We’re Making A Difference
The MVP Challenge is free to join, but during the challenge, we’ll share opportunities to support the MVP Fund for Pediatric Oncology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Since 1969, Vanderbilt has been a leader in patient care, research, and education in pediatric oncology, providing hope to families facing the toughest battles.
Meet Your Trainer, Gunnar Peterson
I’ve been at this for over 30 years, working with pro athletes, celebrities, and everyone in between. What I’ve learned? Consistency beats perfection every time.
Over the next four weeks, we’re going to push ourselves, find new limits, and see just how strong we can be—together. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about showing up, putting in the work, and getting stronger every day.
So, join me on November 11th. Let’s make the moves that count.
