What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am the owner of Customized Fitness Workout, which offers a combined workout routine of strength & cardiovascular exercise customized toward each individual's specific fitness goals. We're all about movement; it is the key to a healthy body and mind. I provide in-home, virtual, and outdoor personal fitness workouts. My specialty is working with women 50+ of all abilities.
Tell us about yourself
I am an ACE Certified Personal Trainer/Group Fit Instructor/Orthopedic Exercise Specialist and Active Aging Movement Coach. I am an active mom of three young adults. I started my fitness journey to improve my mood and spirits. The exercise made me feel so much better mentally and physically that I decided to change careers and become a Nationally Certified Fitness Professional. Movement is the key to mental and physical wellness.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Starting my business during COVID and having my clients stay active during that time! The gym I worked at shut down, and my clients still wanted to train with me. I started my LLC, and my clients were thrilled to join me virtually and then gradually in person. Helping people to stay active is a thrill!
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Time management and social media.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Have a clear vision of what you want to accomplish and who your target audience is.
- Enlist the help of your family and friends.
- Set financial goals.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
I love my job! Watching my clients get stronger and move easier through their activities of daily living gives me such a high. It's the greatest feeling! Let's elevate your fitness journey together today!
