Today I bring you five specific things to focus on if you’re wanting to build an online business in the world of health and fitness (and bring in a profit!) I created a workshop in 2020 – 3 steps to build a PROFITABLE online heath and fitness business.  And named it this for more than one reason…  Businesses need to not only generate revenue but be PROFITABLE. Many people think “oh I a...

No matter the weight training program you follow when starting out, you will likely experience a honeymoon phase.  You’ll feel like you are adapting quick, making gains and getting stronger. This is what we call the newbie phase. And I hope you enjoy it. Because its a precious time in training. That phase ends at some point however. The weights stop increasing with ease. The same shit feels j...

This episode is for my people. The people who go against the “be a master of one” narrative. You can’t have more than one offer. You can’t have more than one ideal client or area of focus. While I understand that perspective and the truth in it (I mean I have an Ideal Client Avatar download and a Know Your Niche content guide), I also think it’s misunderstood in the online health and fitness indus...

Proficiency is truly the name of the game when it comes to movement patterns, strength and muscle building. When people talk about muscle memory or mind muscle connection, what are they really referring to? WHAT In short, I’d say, the proficiency, strength, and consistency of your neural pathways from brain to muscle when contracting. WHY This is where touching, visualizing or thinking about a giv...

2023 was not my norm…It was my first year as a mom-preneur. And though I don’t love that title. It’s a thing. It’s very real. And it took some trial and error. So, let’s dive in. No revenue goal but a need to maintain Biz + baby trial year (unexpectedly grow another one 🤣) 2023 was a year of essentialism and gaining clarity of biz and life NOW Lots of tension and fog...

Flexibility is the capacity for mobility. And mobility CAN certainly make for superior strength and hypertrophy.  I mentioned in another podcast recently that more and more I view mobility as youth. Range of motion can be looked at in passive and active lenses. Passive = flexibility. Think sitting in the splits or doing a pec stretch in the doorway. These are passive and/or assisted. Active range...

Coaching philosophy is so much more than the methods you adopt and whether or not you think cardio should go before or after a lift, whether you think macros are necessary or not. A massive part of your coaching philosophy is shaped by core values. Rather than saying “crafting,” it’s more like identifying or carving out. It likely already exists but you have yet to claim it, identify it. Why brand...

It’s no secret I am team lift for life. That is largely where my phrase “long haul mentality” came from. Because I am a sucker for the grind – the day to day that no one wants to do, but everyone needs. The process by which they get the REAL results that they want. It applies to weight lifting, career, building a business, any pursuit of something more than the mundane. Today we dive into ph...

There can certainly be a lot of carryover between how to grow your brand audience on IG and how to increase your income. Often just being front of mind for people is the lowest barrier to increasing applications or enrollments. We’ll separate the two for clarity but know that there is mainly positive carryover from audience growth tactics *possibly* to income. Brand GROWTH (audience) None of these...

Today’s episode can be applied to any platform where you provide content to an audience. That means podcasting, email, YouTube, instagram or elsewhere. I’ve been talking a lot lately about building trust with your audience because trust is the #1 thing we need as businesses in order for people to PAY YOU. And most online health and fitness coaches I talk to want to get paid. If you happen to be bu...

I asked my IG audience and my email list to send me topics they'd like me to either rate as over, or underrated, mainly in the field of fitness. And let me tell you, this was a FUN ONE. This episode was unplanned. I literally answered these spitfire, off the cuff. First thoughts that came to mind is what you get here. So, tune in for details on the following topics. Here are my ratings: Squats: Ov...

You know the kind of testimony you read - either as a consumer or as the recipient - that just makes you go YES! That’s exactly what I wanted to hear! (the power of social proof!) This can be the norm for your business if you help your clients out. YES, the way in which you ask for testimonies absolutely shapes the type of testimony you receive. We want testimonies that do a few things: Meet the p...

Today’s episode will hopefully bring to light some things you can...

Most professionals that I work with in the online space for the face of their brand. They are a personal brand. Meaning that they have to cultivate a brand based around themselves, their ideal, client, and the problems that they solve or their area of focus.  Your brand started before it was a brand. Especially in that it is a personal brand, parts of your life are going to be integrated into it. ...

When people say you don’t need a niche, I ask how that’s going? I’ll wait. Anytime we talk niches, I feel like the question comes up: Is online health and fitness coaching “saturated?” Does that matter? Just an excuse to say you won’t stand out Don’t buy into that conversation I always push back with - even if the industry IS saturated...does that mean no more coaches should enter? No other profes...

In strength training, you’re training skills. You’re entering into a practice with asymmetries, past injuries, weak points and more. Whether you were an athlete or have never played a sport in your life, very people have perfectly balanced muscular and joint function. To be clear, that is not the end goal of training. And you’re not failing if your body is not yet in perfect balance. BUT - a massi...
