What's your business, and who are your customers?

My business is Kore Fitness. We do Pilates, Personal Training, and virtual classes. Our customers are people who are working on improving their fitness and may be working with chronic pain or recovering from injury.

Tell us about yourself

I have been a Certified Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor since 2006. I have taught Mat Pilates for the past eight years and became a Polestar-certified Pilates instructor in 2020. I have worked in physical therapy clinics with patients and have been trained in a rehabilitative form of Pilates through Polestar. My motivation is to help people to heal and recover from the pain and injury that brought them to see me in the first place. My happiness comes from seeing the improvement that they make toward their recovery.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

My biggest accomplishment as a business owner has been to develop my brand over the past two years into a successful online business.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

One of the hardest things that come with being a business owner for me is finding how to reach people in the most effective way. The fitness industry is very competitive, and finding the right niche can be challenging.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Take opportunities to network and grow your business.
  2. Keep developing your business strategy to stay current with the trends in your industry. Develop a niche that is unique.
  3. Be persistent and persevere. It takes time to develop your business. You learn a lot through the process of developing your business.
