Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and fitness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Karis Loewen, Founder and CEO of The Workout, located in Columbia, SC, USA.

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

A group of Pilates studios in Columbia, SC servicing a wide range of women and men of all ages who reside around South Carolina.

Tell us about yourself

I opened my first pilates studio because I had a passion for all of the benefits Pilates brings to the body and saw a great need for it in the area. Every day I stay motivated because of the people I get to work alongside and the clients who choose to walk through our doors every day!

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

I have no idea! The small and large victories every day are the greatest accomplishment, and if you make the wise and right decision on those over time, your business just continually moves forward, and before you know it, it's bigger than you ever imagined it could be!

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

The people! The people are what keeps you going but also what keeps you on your toes!

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

  1. Only do it if you're truly passionate about it.
  2. It won't be easy every day; just commit to never quitting.
  3. Don't sweat the small stuff.
