Today we’d like to introduce you to Lynette Miller.
Lynette, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I first started off going to fitness and realized how much I enjoyed it. Then I realized I could actually make money doing this getting fit and teaching fitness… I was working a regular 9-5 job and began teaching part time. Did this for several years. Finally I go the opportunity a full time job as a fitness Director for Bally Total fitness. Did for a few year until the company went out of Business. I did not have the desire to work for anyone else. So I opened my own Fitness Center and I am still going 9 years later.
Has it been a smooth road?
No the road was not smooth. I am a double minority African American Women opening a fitness center in the Suburbs of Chicago. The challenges, financing, advertising and just securing enough funds to keep the business going. Also as the years went on serval other places opened up with a similar business model. It is a Studio Gym that offers fitness classes and Personal Training.
