We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Heather Clark & Melissa Johnsen a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Heather & Melissa , thanks for joining us today. We’d love to hear about the best advice you’ve ever given to a client? (Please note this response is for education/entertainment purposes only and shouldn’t be construed as advice for the reader)
With all of our clients, we highlight that their health and fitness journey is about progress and not perfection. We educate our clients to break free from the diet culture and focus on fueling their body with proper nutrition and finding joy in some type of movement for exercise. We emphasize body positivity by approving of themselves instead of criticizing themselves. We emphasize that every ‘body’ is beautiful. We recognize that women are under stress from the diet culture and what social media “thinks” health looks like. We look at all areas of a women’s health, including mental health, sleep, hormones, and other factors to truly understand our clients and how we can help them improve their health and meet their goals.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Peachy Queens Fitness is the best-in-class online fitness and nutrition coaching platform designed by women, for women. Are you a busy mom seeking to reclaim her health and fitness without restricting diets and grueling workouts? If so, you’ve landed in the right place. We remember the struggle, as we’ve treaded down that exhausting road of dieting ourselves.
We are two best friends who have been on both sides of the scale and everywhere in between, and we understand that ‘healthy’ isn’t a one-size-fits-all. Because what is ‘healthy’ has as many looks as there are bodies. And remember, darling, “Healthy looks different on every ‘booty’!”
We are not your conventional, size-zero trainers. We are real women with real bodies, who advocate for real perspectives towards health and body image. Embrace the Queenly status while getting rid of diets forever. Learn to nourish your body with our one-time macro counts, recipe books, and a truckload of thoroughly reasearched advice that allows you to sustain results, all while living a ‘real’ life.
Our mission is to empower women to embrace their uniqueness and break free from the shackles of societal beauty norms. We are more than just a fitness business; we are a community of women who adjust each other’s crowns and advocate for body positivity. Our vision is to help you heal your hormones, take charge of your health, and celebrate your uniqueness.
At Peachy Queens, your wroth isn’t measured by the numbers on the scale; instead, we measure success by the strength of your commitment to you health, your happiness, and your unique journey to fitness. Start your journey with us today! Togetherness is power, and true power comes when real queens unite!
We’d love to hear about how you met your business partner.
Heather was a personal trainer at our local gym. Melissa became a member of the gym and was one of Heather’s clients. They had a coach/client relationship for 8 years and through that relationship became best friends.
Any advice for growing your clientele? What’s been most effective for you?
Being real, raw, truthful, and showcasing our different body types. We are individuals, moms, and on our own health and fitness journeys. We connect with our clients because we are putting in the work, just like we expect our own clients to do.
