We recently connected with Jamie Maitland and have shared our conversation below.

Jamie, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Was there a defining moment in your professional career? A moment that changed the trajectory of your career?

There was a defining moment in my professional career and it was when I sold my first fitness concept. How it happened was not exactly a smooth transition, to sum things up the business partners and I were not on the same page. At the time when I was going thru this “business divorce” I was extremely resistant, it literally felt like someone was taking away a piece of my heart but in hinds sight after I officially got bought out I started to see the upside of being free from a chapter that no longer served me.

The universe had a bigger plan for me and once I let go – everything started to unfold for me. After selling my first business in 2017 I have sucessfully opened a new gym in 2019 and created a thriving health & wellness company. I am proud to say I own 100% of both my businesses and forever grateful for the lessons I learned.

Jamie, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

My name is Jamie Maitland, I am a certified holistic nutritionist, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach with an advanced gut health certification and prominent figure in the fitness industry. I have a profound commitment to promoting health and wellness and have garnered recognition as a trusted authority within my field.

Born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, my passion for fitness and nutrition stemmed from my own personal journey and desire to help others achieve optimal well-being. I am dedicated to continuous learning which led me to acquire certifications as a Holistic Nutritionist, Advanced Gut Health specialist, and Holistic Health Coach through IIN Nutrition School.

My career in the fitness industry took off in 2015 when I co-founded Fort Lauderdale’s first and largest indoor cycling studio. As an elite instructor, I quickly gained popularity for my unique coaching style and attention to detail. I pride myself in my ability to curate captivating playlists and tailor workouts to individual needs.

In 2019, I embarked on a new venture, establishing “The Office,” a boutique fitness studio that stands out for its diverse range of workouts. From boxing and barre to sculpt classes and yoga, The Office offers a comprehensive fitness experience under one roof. With an intimate class size limited to 12 participants, I ensure a personalized approach to training. The studio’s immersive nightclub ambiance, enhanced by cutting-edge lighting and sound systems, creates a vibrant atmosphere that motivates and inspires.

Driven by my evolving interests, I expanded my focus to encompass holistic nutrition and overall wellness. In 2021, I launched “The Office Health,” a health and wellness company that offers top-quality nutritional products, supplements, and exclusive retreat experiences. My mission is to provide personalized solutions and experiences that go beyond mere information, empowering individuals to cultivate a harmonious and balanced lifestyle.

Recognizing the profound impact of health and wellness beyond fitness and food, I aim to influence culture and effect sustainable change. By redefining the norms and questioning societal practices, I endeavor to create environments that support optimal well-being. Through motivation and inspiration, I seek to transform the culture of health and wellness, ultimately contributing to a healthier and happier world.

If you could go back, would you choose the same profession, specialty, etc.?

Absolutely, I am an entrepreneur at heart and I love nothing more than creating concepts and seeing them come to life.

Other than training/knowledge, what do you think is most helpful for succeeding in your field?

I think being able to converse and connect with people has really help me succeed in my field. My coaching style is one of a kind and my gift is to motivate and inspire. the feedback I get from clients is a constant reminder that I am doing exactly what I am meant to do.
