We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Courtney Siler . We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Courtney below.
Courtney, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today If you could go back in time do you wish you had started your business sooner or later
If I could go back in time, I for sure would have started my business sooner. I officially started as a fitness trainer in March 2020 and I have truly enjoyed what I do. At that time, I was still teaching at a high school but I knew my path in life was to do something else. I believe I would of been where I want to be for my business if I started sooner. What would have changed about my experience is I could of gain the knowledge about a fitness trainer and other related certificates earlier to grow my business. Even though I didn’t start sooner, I don’t have any regrets, I am right where I’m suppose to be at. Sculpted by C Fitness is moving in the right direction and I am excited to see where my business takes me.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
My name is Courtney Siler, a mom, wife and lover of all things health, mental and physical. I’ve always been into fitness, started playing basketball at an early age and getting a basketball scholarship so I been into staying fit my whole life. I was able to build a solid foundation when I was young to get me where I am now. I get my inspiration from my dad who is 60 years old and has the health of a 30 year old. The products I offer resistance bands to tone the lower body and women’s fitness apparel for sizes small to 2x that are comfortable, stretchy and supports the body for different movements. Services I provide are fitness and health services: virtual training, in person training, group workout classes, custom meal plans, customize grocery list, recipes and meal prep ideas. The problems I solve for my clients are helping them with lowering their blood sugar, toning their bodies, gaining muscle, losing weight and feeling good about themselves. I truly love what I do and not because of the financial gain but because I love seeing people love what they see when they look in the mirror. I am most proud of having my own fitness studio, I’ve had it for 4 months now and every time I step in my space, I smile because its been a journey that I had to work hard for. I want people to know that I genuinely care about my clients and not only will I use my knowledge to make sure they love who they are but also build a relationship that goes beyond fitness.
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
I think what has helped my reputation is building relationships with people that goes beyond fitness. There are business owners that are only in their industry because of a financial gain but for me I offer fitness and health services because I want to serve people and help them to become their best selves from the inside and out. I became a fitness trainer because I saw a need in people, they don’t care about their health or maybe just don’t have the knowledge or don’t know where to start. Whoever I come in contact with, I form a connection that makes it easier for them to be discipline, motivated, committed to their journey and comfortable with me.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
A story that showed my resilience is getting my fitness studio. I knew having a space to call my own was a goal for me so I started to look about a year ago and at that time, it was out my budget, After that I wasn’t really looking at any other spaces until one day, I told myself, let me look to see if they have anything available and they did. I was shock how much more affordable the space was from the first time and I knew I must get it. I didn’t think I would have my own fitness studio this early but with the grace of God, patience and resilience Sculpted by C Fitness is here. I’m proud of myself for going after what I want and I know with my mindset, I will keep accomplishing my goals.
