Move Better, Feel Better, Do More - Personal Treyner Fitness
Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and fitness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Trey Tate, Founder of Personal Treyner Fitness, located in Birmingham, AL, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I'm a personal trainer focusing on in-home personal training. My business removes the barriers of a traditional workout, saving people time and energy, all while training in the comfort of their own homes. I meet my clients where they are, supplying the equipment and tailoring my workouts to meet my client's specific needs. My clients are busy professionals, seniors recovering from injury, stay-at-home moms, and individuals who are dissatisfied with the standard gym model.
Tell us about yourself
Being the son of an ophthalmic technician and pharmaceutical rep, I was hooked on maximizing health at a very early age. I grew up playing baseball and took my first weight-lifting class in high school. I couldn't get taller, but I had figured out how to get stronger! While in college, I became disenchanted with the medical model and wanted to be more preventative in my approach to my clientele. I got my BSc in Health Education and soon after became certified as a personal trainer. I never enjoyed the commercialism of the gym environment and wanted to remove the barriers of entry to reach a wider premium audience. With over a decade of experience, I'm passionate about health and fitness, and I want to empower my clients with the health knowledge that I have accumulated.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Daily, I get to change people's lives for the better. There is no better feeling than helping people reach their goals and improve their quality of life. The best compliment is a client recommending my services to their friends or family.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Structuring your life and time and having to make the hard decisions yourself.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Find experienced people in your field to help mentor you. It will save you time and allow you to provide a better service for your clients.
- Never stop learning.
- Develop a morning routine to set your day for success.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Invest in your health – Mind, Body, and Spirit. It is the foundation for everything else in your life.
