Tell us about yourself
Hi, I'm Leah, the owner of Inspired Changes Health Studio, which began 14 years ago! I am a mom of 3 beautiful girls 💗, they are my pride and joy 🤩. I was born and raised in Sechelt, BC, on the Sunshine Coast. I lived there for 31 years and moved to Chilliwack 18 years ago. I love the Fraser Valley and all it offers: great hiking, wonderful people, fun shopping, beautiful restaurants, and the many outdoor experiences for my family and me.
Role modelling a healthy lifestyle for my girls has always been important to me. I’ve been active in the fitness industry for 30 years. I started with teaching aerobics, interval training, step aerobics, weight training, working with a physiotherapy clinic, managing fitness centres, personal training, boot camp training, yoga, minor hockey boot camp training, nutrition coaching, and life coaching & online health & wellness coaching!
I believe in “Inspiring Positive Changes in Others.” I love to help, inspire and lead people to live their best lives! Most importantly, I value balancing my body, mind & spirit: “Emotionally, Physically, Intellectually, Spiritually.” I live to teach others how to do this, and this is where my 4 weeks forever program was born. 😁
Focusing on daily lifestyle, creating routine, cooking, creating recipes, managing time, and setting realistic goals with health, nutrition & exercise is what I teach my clients! I work with people online from all over the world. If you are looking to create a lifestyle change, I’m here to help guide you to a healthier, happier You!
My motto is “Everything in Moderation."
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Having my own Nutrition & Personal Training studio! Helping thousands of clients over 30 years live healthier, happier lives!
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Creating consistency due to the recent economy because of covid :( Another hard thing is when a client doesn’t show up, and there is no work!
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Have a business plan.
- Be flexible & ready to change with the economy.
- Plan for success!! 🤩
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Thank you for this opportunity to share my business with the world! I value inspiring & helping others succeed.
