We did it! After 17 years in the making, a vision that started as a twinkle in my eye has come to life. Coach360 exists to empower the business of health, fitness, and wellness coaches and trainers. Our mission is to help build coach careers in the industry by providing them with the resources they need to succeed, including connecting them to job opportunities at clubs and studios. A year ago, I never imagined I’d be here today. The journey has been filled with challenges, growth, and incredible learning. I’m beyond grateful to the amazing team, clubs, brand partners, mentors, and coaches who have supported us along the way. Thanks to Connected: Health & Fitness and team for this opportunity. You are all gems. We are just getting started, and I’m so excited for the future and the impact we’ll continue to make in the lives of coaches and the clients they serve.

The future of health and wellness education is here! 🚀 Becoming an avatar with AI Wellness at TheFitExpo. What this brand is doing is mind blowing! 🤯 They are Introducing the AMA (Ask My Avatar) feature at the show and focusing in on health and wellness as a primary category. I created a personalized avatar for myself that could essentially answer the industry’s questions surrounding resources for coaches/trainers and staffing solutions for clubs/studios. The mirror component offers a groundbreaking solution with numerous applications, particularly for businesses seeking an avatar feature to efficiently address frequently asked questions. It’s also a fantastic tool for situations where being in two places at once is necessary. 😜 (lead a webinar while in the air? I’m in!) 🤖 Thanks to Abby Aboitiz for getting me all set up. And no, it doesn’t replace the human touch, but rather lends a friendly hand to build connections when you and your team can’t. 🤝💪💚

Do the sh*t that scares you. This year has been an incredible journey, and last December, I promised to tackle the limiting beliefs holding me back from pursuing my dreams. I felt a strong desire to create something meaningful that would inspire and empower health and fitness pros to remain in our industry, supporting those who rely on them for their health and well-being. Late last year, my life coach encouraged me to outline three goals, and I'll share them here: 1. I wanted to develop a media platform with content and resources to support the business of health, fitness, and wellness coaches, while also providing clubs and studios with an innovative staffing solution in Marketplace by Coach360. 2. I wanted to travel and begin seeing the world 🌍 3. I felt driven to share my story, my purpose, and my experiences within our industry, reaching out to those looking for inspiration through speaking engagements at events and on podcasts. Here's what happened this year: 🛫 I became a world traveler 😅 and visited London, France, Germany, and Spain (I have never traveled to Europe or anywhere out of the country in my 42 years). 💼 🏋 I started that business in the health, fitness, and wellness industry! I launched Coach360! It's been 16 years since I started my career as a personal trainer/coach on the gym floor of a tiny studio in Coronado, CA, and was told to "go sell". I understand firsthand the difficulties of entering this industry as a fitness professional and how challenging it is to learn the business side of things. 😨 I took the "stage". I put myself out there and delivered a keynote at Todd Durkin's IMPACT Summit this past July. For those that know me, you know that this is extremely uncomfortable for me! Has it been easy? NO! Worth it? YES! What's next for us in 2025? I plan to keep pushing my boundaries both personally and professionally, starting with the incredible opportunity for Coach360 to take the stage as a finalist at the Connected: Health & Fitness Summit's Innovation Showcase – taking place February 11-13, 2025! The event brings together 450+ C-suite leaders for 3 days of uncovering the future of fitness, health, and wellness.
