What's your business, and who are your customers?
Luxury Lifestyle Training is a High-End Personal Training Studio! We focus on 1-on-1 & Small-group Training, In-Home personal training, online coaching, Corporate services, and one of my favorites... Home/Corporate Gym Build-outs!
Tell us about yourself
Fitness/Sports has always been a big part of my life. Probably due more so to my twin sister and my competitive nature. I began my coaching journey in college during my time at Texas A&M (WHOOP!) And I never looked back. I found (and continue to find) so much joy in breaking through barriers and reaching goals. I believe in the power of community, accountability, and the success that can come from taking action. I am grateful to be able to do that within our community and with our clients.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Gosh... I think I'd have to say starting LLT... I went all in just after COVID hit in 2020. I raised a bit of capital and built out my 20x20 garage. September of 2020 is when LLT officially launched. I had a one-year-old baby boy, and our second son was due in 4 weeks. It was scary & terrifying, but at the same time so freeing and exhilarating. We paid the capital off in 10 months, brought on my Lead Coach Matthew in May of 2021, and signed on a 2300sq ft space in June of 2021. We are so so thankful for where we started and thrilled for the future.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
I think just a roller coaster of emotions... Each day is unknown and brings its ups and downs. At the end of it all, I am just reminded of the Intimate, Intentional & Interactive (our core values) impact we want to make daily on the clients and people that walk through our door.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
JUST START... Fail forward. No no such thing (I believe) as just dabbling or tapping your toe in the water. You just have to plug your nose, take a deep breath in, AND JUMP. If you are truly all in and want to be all in, you just gotta go for it. That is the promise I have made to myself, my family, and my team.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Our goal at LLT is to create a premium concierge training experience inside our walls and beyond to allow our clients to become a healthier, stronger, more pain-free version of themselves. We pride ourselves in creating a safe, effective, and progressive training program to allow our clients to gain strength, more range of motion, and become pain-free. We'd love to extend a Complimentary Consultation to anyone reading this. We look forward to connecting and adding value to your life.
