What inspired you to start your business?
Several events in my life inspired me to start my business. My mother’s early death from a massive stroke, my brother’s suicide after a bout of depression, the discovery that I was a gifted runner in the tenth grade that later allowed me the opportunity to earn a full track scholarship, and the recognition that running, resistance training and a healthy lifestyle gave me the drive and the strength to overcome obstacles and excel in all areas of my life. I wanted to share with others the extraordinary healing and empowering benefits of physical activity, proper nutrition and a healthy mindset.
What is one hard lesson you’ve learned in business you believe has been most valuable?
That you can’t be a client’s motivation. Clients have to develop their own motivation to make the necessary changes in their lives to be healthy.
If I asked one of your clients why they choose you over other trainers, what would they likely say?
Clients would say that my commitment and dedication to them inspires them to be dedicated and committed to themselves. They would say that I pay special attention to proper form and technique; that I am not about the number of clients that I can squeeze into a class but each individual client’s success.
What is one way you are dedicated to raising the bar in the industry?
I am trying to raise the bar in the industry by holding myself and other wellness professionals that I work with to a higher standard. A standard of excellence with a continuous pursuit of higher education and a commitment to the overall health of ourselves, our families and our communities.
Thank you, Angela for raising the bar!
