- What’s your favorite part about being a health coach? – “Helping people, connecting with people, having relationships. If I could only take 2 things on a deserted island, I would forget food and take my 2 favorite people. I love to learn about people and feel that it’s all about relationships. Meeting new people forces me out of my comfort zone.”
- When did you start In The Pink Fitness? – “Over 3.5 years ago, around losing the weight personally. I’m going to be in the gym anyway for myself, so why not help people as well? I got the certification. Started with helping my friends and then have been slowly expanding from there.”
- When did you join TeamBeachbody? – “Oct. 2014 – I love building relationships and getting leads in order to build trust. It was a no-brainer to join. It’s been the leader in the world of home fitness programs since 1998.”
- What kind of marketing do you do to promote your health coaching business? – “Everything is done on FB. I find that the more open, exposed or vulnerable I get, the bigger the feedback I get from people as well. It can be scary at times, but it’s worth it.”
- What’s your biggest challenge in your coaching business? – “Finding more hours in the day. I want to learn more about social media and expand into Pinterest and Instagram, maybe Twitter as well, but I can only manage my Facebook page at the moment. I also want to start a blog because I know the importance of that as well. Another huge challenge for me is that I get frustrated with people who want to change with a quick fix, instead of investing anything or making an effort. If it’s just financial, that’s one thing, but they come up with excuses, and it bothers me, it frustrates me because I’ve been there and I’ve done it, so I know what it takes. If we sit on our bums, our bums grow. If I extend my help, it’s more than I had. I wish I had the help I’m offering, and it frustrates me when I’m extending myself and they’re not accepting it. I can do things, and so can they. I ask, “Why are you risking everything?” So, that’s something I need to work on a little. I could just put it out there and they can accept it or not. When I was losing the weight, I was paying a personal trainer $125/hr., which is typical. That is why I make my services super affordable, around $35/hr. and it goes down if you buy packages in bulk. I do this so there are no excuses to let me help them be the best they can be.”
