“Adding nutrition coaching was the best business move that I have ever made in 11 years of operation. It proved to be a great service to add for an additional revenue stream.

How does your positive attitude motivate your members and gym community?

Leadership reflects attitude. It all starts with me. I coach, train, and live my life the way I want all my athletes to live. My athletes know that I love and care for them. That builds trust. Even in the darkest of times, there is always a bright spot that I can find. That builds respect. With trust and respect comes commitment.

How has adding nutrition coaching to your facility impacted your gym and members?

Adding nutrition coaching was the best business move that I have ever made in 11 years of operation. It proved to be a great service to add for an additional revenue stream. Not only did it help to increase our monthly revenue, but it also made our package of services offered for health and wellness comprehensive. It also shifted the emphasis back to where it all starts! With food! Nutrition coaching allowed our gym to cultivate an environment for education and implementation of sound eating habits. It sparked a renewed interest in the biggest component of health and wellness.

If you could give advice to a gym owner or nutrition coach running a nutrition program what would it be?

Keep it simple. Be honest and authentic. Accountability is key, stay in communication with your clients! Keep your clients motivated! Healthy Steps offers monthly content, recipes and a myriad of resources to build engagement and excitement.

Where do you see the program in 3 months?

In the next three months, our nutrition program will be the road map to bring former, current and new clients back from the deleterious effects of the Covid-19 quarantine. And back on the path of success in the pursuit of vitality. With nutrition challenges and talks we’ll encourage all to rekindle focus and effort.

I started with the program thinking that I would become a better nutrition coach with a great service to offer my clients. I had no idea how much I would grow in all areas as a business owner. With the monthly mentor calls. And all the incredible work that Nicole and Jason do, and education that they provide, I have grown exponentially. Not only as a coach, but as a business owner. I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of the Healthy Steps Nutrition family!

What has been the biggest benefit of adding HSN to your toolbox?

Adding in the Heathy Steps program elevated the status of my business immediately! I was able to add to the professionalism and effectiveness of my services. Teaming up with such a classy and high quality company was a definite game changer!
