HIIT Meet Meditation - Mind Body Project

Team Subkit -

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and fitness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Christopher Stockel, founder and CEO of Mind Body Project, located in New York, NY, USA.

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

Mind Body Project is the world's first meditation + high-intensity fitness experience. We aim to deliver our guests the most tranquil moments of their day, as well as the most physically challenging moments of their day. Our customers are individuals who are looking for an extra edge beyond fitness and to improve their mental acuity as well.

Tell us about yourself

The Mind Body Project concept derives from a personal place for me. I have always experienced mental health challenges mainly in the form of anxiety, but meditation and an intense workout were two activities that drastically helped me function better on a day-to-day basis.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

My biggest accomplishment is successfully opening a completely original fitness concept that the world has never seen before in the midst of a global pandemic. It was a challenging time to open, but with the help of my incredible team, we were able to persevere and adapt to the challenging climate during Covid.

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

The hardest part of being a business owner is being presented with new challenges on a daily basis that you often have never experienced before. It requires an adaptive and solution-focused mindset. It also happens to be one of the most exciting parts of being a business owner!

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

  1. Make sure your passion is derived from the product/service you're offering as opposed to financial incentives.
  2. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Find a pace of work that feels sustainable, and be sure to take time to enjoy things you love outside of work. Even if you're working around the clock, it's important to establish balance.
  3. Surround yourself with people who energize you and who are passionate about your mission.
