We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Torie Marin. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Torie below.

Alright, Torie thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Parents can play a significant role in affecting how our lives and careers turn out – and so we think it’s important to look back and have conversations about what our parents did that affected us positive (or negatively) so that we can learn from the billions of experiences in each generation. What’s something you feel your parents did right that impacted you positively.

Both of my parents were self employed during my childhood. They set a great example of how you can achieve anything if you work hard for it and don’t make excuses. They always supported me and believed in me. I’m so thankful for that.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers

I’ve been in business offering In-Home Personal training since 2013. I travel to my clients and offer services right in their home. This sets me apart because not a lot of people offer this in my area. I work with mostly women and I love helping them improve their physical and mental strength. I got into personal training after I did several triathlons in 2009 and had a mentor that helped me a lot. It felt great setting goals and achieving them while having someone guide you along the way. I also wanted to help others feel as strong and healthy as I did.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

Covid was a challenge, especially in the beginning. Not being able to do face to face sessions I was forced to get out of my comfort zone and try virtual sessions on zoom. It was a blessing in disguise as now 40% of my sessions take place on zoom. I had several clients move out of state and I am able to continue working with them. It is a great option for those who live out of my travel radius.

We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?

I have recently started posting a lot of short videos on tik tok, Instagram and Facebook. These short videos can be educational, funny, inspirational etc. Posting these regularly has helped my social media following grow a lot and also got me out of my comfort zone. These platforms show these clips to others for free so it can also help increase your client base.
