We recently connected with Stephanie Newcomb and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Stephanie , thanks for joining us today. Can you talk to us about a risk you’ve taken – walk us through the story?

I was working at the Athletic Club as a trainer and struggled with getting clients and wanted to be my own boss. So I had a vision. My mom used to raise and train horses and no longer did and had a huge barn that was just sitting there, not being used. So I decided to turn the barn into a fitness studio. The barn is out Highway 10 so not in the city. I started with just getting the apartment that was the length of the barn and over the years. I have expanded into the barn with taking stalls out and building a wall to separate my side from my mom‘s side. I had people tell me when I told them my vision in the beginning that it would never work because I was too far out. But the great thing about the atmosphere at unleashed is that it’s not your normal average gym.. most clients love the drive out to get their mindset and wake up for their workout and then when they leave, they have the drive to get their mindset ready for the day and if they come early enough, they always catch the sunrise.

Stephanie , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

My name is Stephanie Newcomb and I am married to my very best friend and have three boys, four dogs, and two cats. I was a stay at home mom but always saw the importance of health and fitness and wanted to teach my boys as they grow into young men the importance of it because I did not have that growing up. I became a personal trainer and health coach when my youngest was just a baby. I started out with just health coaching but the two go hand-in-hand and so I soon got my certification to be a personal trainer. It is my passion to not just and still in my voice, the importance of health and fitness, but to also teach others, because so many people do not understand how important these things are in atr vital for a long sustainable life.

I started by working at the Athletic Club, and soon realized how much I wanted to branch out on my own. I started unlashed health and fitness in 2016. My mom used to raise and showhorses and no longer dead so her barn was just sitting there not being used and I decided to transform the barn into a fitness studio. When I get a new client, we always do an assessment, but then I also always talk about the importance of what they are putting into their bodies. If you are just working out and not feeling your body the way you need to then you will not get the results you are looking for health and fitness is a journey that never ends and so what I love about my job is to push people beyond what they think they can do but also encourage them and love on them letting them know they are not on their own. I can come off as a hard ass , but it’s only because I am passionate about what I do in about my clients and I see more in them than what they see in themselves sometimes.

All, my clients are at different fitness levels, and what I love is that we are all here for the same reason and that is to get stronger to better ourselves at least 1% every day..

I think what sets me apart from everyone else is that I truly care about my clients. . It’s about seeing my clients succeed and reach goals. Also I love fashion so I’m a fit stylish health nut. lol

I think the thing that I am most proud of is when I get to train my boys and when I see them caring about what they put into their bodies. They are all in jujitsu and MMA and one is in baseball so they are all athletes, and as an athlete, you have to feel your body, work out, and, of course, rest is just as important.

Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?

Honestly, it’s pretty simple. I tried ads in different publications, tv segments and honestly it comes down to word-of-mouth so being great at what you do so that others will tell others about you.

What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?

Here again, word-of-mouth plays a huge role but also Instagram has been a huge blessing for me.
