Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Hannah Ronningen. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hannah, appreciate you joining us today. Can you share a customer success story with us?
Last summer I had the privilege of meeting a wonderful new client, who was ready to embark on her fitness journey but had no idea how to get started.
She had very simple goals: be able to play with her grandkids and not feel exhausted afterwards, feel more stable getting up off the floor, and lose some extra weight.
The first few months flew by and before we knew it, she had made considerable progress with her balance, strength, and implementing better nutrition habits, despite having osteoarthritis.
To this day we are still training together!
In her own words,
“ “Eat Pray Lift” – Just like the movies – there are some journeys that truly are life changing. I definitely credit Hannah and her training process for the success I have found during my journey to health and well-being. I rarely, in fact never, share personal stories or provide reviews thru social media. Why now? Because the dramatic change I’ve experienced as a result of having Hannah as a trainer, encourager, teacher and becoming my good friend along the way is something I wish for other women to have also. The program is tailored to me, my goals and how I can best get there. Hannah is constantly tweaking and changing the routine to make certain each session is challenging but fun and doable. Hannah is careful to make sure that I am physically able to do the work and that I understand the reason behind the workout we are doing. All I bring is a water bottle and the determination to keep working a little more each session. The work is never more than I’m ready for – and trust me – I started from a very beginner level. The program is customized so that I am always able to succeed. Hannah even comes to me! You literally cannot fail! She is amazing!”

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?
Hello!
My name is Hannah and I am the founder of Heart Soul Strength Training, located in Greenville, SC.
I developed a passion for helping women with fitness when I went through my own weight loss journey and discovered how hard it can be to lose weight and gain strength on your own. I was the girl who stayed on the treadmills for a whole YEAR because I was too afraid to lift weights.
I moved to Greenville, SC 2 years ago and fell in love with the community and the abundance of outdoor activities. Not long after moving here I rescued a beautiful puppy named Zara who keeps me very busy when I’m not with clients.
I offer in-home personal training to women 40+ who want to look and feel amazing!
With most personal trainers only taking online clients these days, I am very proud to offer in-home training as it opens the door to clients who may feel more comfortable in their own home and want that face to face connection and guidance. From a safety standpoint I feel it’s important for me to be there in person to guide clients with proper form and instruction.

How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
As a small business owner, I believe your reputation is everything. I work hard to ensure that my clients are more than satisfied with their results and do my best to go above and beyond in supporting them.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
I battled my own eating disorders and body image issues for years. It was an uphill battle but I am so grateful that I found strength training during my healing journey. I believe everything happens for a reason and I am able to connect with my clients on a deeper level because of facing my own trials.
All glory to God!
