Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and fitness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Luisa Curia, Founder of Stronger With Luisa, located in Vaughan, ON, Canada.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
My business is an ONLINE fitness platform. We have over 15 LIVE classes a week on our schedule, and each type is recorded and available to my members ON DEMAND through my Fitness App.
Our customers are both male and female. Their ages currently range from 18 - 70, and those looking to change their lives, mind, and body. This is a lifestyle change; many are tired of feeling and looking a certain way. Nothing brings me more joy than helping those that are struggling and helping them find their light through fitness.
Tell us about yourself
I turned to fitness over 20 years ago to help me through my depression. I was a young, vibrant woman on antidepressants and sleeping pills to help me out of a difficult situation. Almost taking too many days, I decided I needed to take matters into my own hands and started exercising. Although I still struggle through things in life, I found my sanity through exercising and my passion for helping others through instructing.
My members motivate me every single day. Knowing that I can impact even just one of them a day helps me get up and get at it. I am raising two healthy, beautiful boys, and I want to show them that dreaming big and never giving up could lead to helping others while helping you accomplish your dreams.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Getting messages from my members that they have flushed their meds down the toilet, that whatever day they were having no longer matters bc they feel amazing, that they can fit into an outfit they haven't put on in years, that they finally enjoy exercising, I mean my list can go on and on lol.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Knowing that what you do will benefit everyone, you come into contact with and watching them choose to continue to feel a certain way without at least trying to do something good for themselves.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Believe in yourself.
- Don't allow negative people to bring you down or discourage you.
- Stop asking your family and friends for support.
