What's your business, and who are your customers?
Our business is a Fitness Business. We help student-athletes and adults boost their confidence, increase speed, and regain strength, even when they feel overwhelmed and stuck with busy schedules.
Tell us about yourself
I was an athlete all my life with a number of injuries, and I also have a chronic health condition that makes me really concession about my health. The combination of injuries and my health condition pushed me to become a trainer because I needed to change my lifestyle. I took it upon myself to change how I ate, worked out, and I started working with a trainer who I then started working with after a few years. I stay motivated because I want everyone to live their life optimally. The more people I can help to live optimally make me happy and feel good inside that we have helped someone take one step closer to a healthier and happier life. I also am doing a Phd in Human and sports performance, so the continuing education and the ability to immediately implement my education has really helped our fitness community!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
The hundreds of young athletes or active adults that we have impacted.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Your first hire.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Build relationships with people in your community, over-deliver to all your clients, provide the best experience every time you work with your client, and be present.
