Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in fitness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Pili Nemer-Martin, founder of Pili's Fitness, located in Calgary, AB, Canada.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
My business is in the fitness industry. I offer VIP 1:1 online personal training/coaching, as well as virtual group fitness classes. I have a large library on my website of 300+ classes for people to do on their own at their own time. My customers are mostly women, but some men are also involved. Anyone of all ages can do my classes. They are intermediate and advanced.
Tell us about yourself
I got into the fitness industry back in 2014-2015. I started it mostly for my own knowledge. I was curious and loved exercising. Then I figured, why not do this and HELP others? COVID-19 was a big wake-up call. I was certified but yet sitting at home jobless. So I decided to get up and get as many individuals as I could from the comfort of their homes.
My biggest motivation is helping people get to their goals and coaching them on how to get there while they can STILL live their lives. You can STILL eat your favourite foods, adding movement and having balance in your life.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
The long-term results my clients have had. Changing lives is the most rewarding aspect of my job.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
For me, one of the hardest things is that a lot of people rely on you 24/7. Also, learning and finding the people you trust to work with you.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Get out of your comfort zone.
- You must fail to learn and succeed.
- Do what you preach and believe in your product.
