Welcome to the Professional Podcast Network, where brilliance meets business, elevate your brand, and supercharge your revenue with inspiring insights and innovation. Hey there everyone and welcome back to the show. This is your host Phil, and our next guest here today is Tara Smith, based out of Nashville, Tennessee with her business called, Tara Training Studio. How are you doing today? I am great. I am great. Thank you for having me. Oh, it's my pleasure. Thanks for joining us. So Tara, tell us a little bit more here about your business and what you offer to everyone here. Okay. I am a personal trainer located in Nashville, Tennessee, I own my own fitness studio. I've been open a little bit about six years. I train everyone from elderly people to kids to people that are trying to lose weight, gain weight, injury recovery, sports specific, anything in the fitness realm, I pretty much do. I promote change. I love to change people from the inside out. I love watching people build confidence and change their bodies and walk in and feel in one way about themselves, and they walk out feeling brand new. So that's pretty much what I do. Excellent. How long have you been doing this for? I've been training about a little bit over 10 years. I started around 2013. Well, congratulations on the decade there. Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome. So, what got you started here with a career path like this? What led you to all this year? Being completely honest, I never thought that I would be a personal trainer. It was never on my wish list whatsoever. I tore both of my ACLs and my meniscus, both of my needs. I was in the gym. I'm a basketball player. So, I was in the gym just trying to rehab my body back to normal, and people were watching me work out, and they just kept asking me to train them, and I'm like, "I'm not a trainer. I'm not a trainer." So, once I realized I was no longer going to play basketball, I finally took my first client just before the kicks and giggles, and I did it. My client turned into five, five, turned into 50, before I knew it, I had my own business, just like that. All right. So, when people first talk with you or reach out to you, how do you start with them with everything here? Well, first I ask them what their fitness goals are, making sure that their goals are realistic with social media and different things on TV. People feel like change is supposed to happen overnight, so I make sure that their goals are realistic. I give them a time frame of how long it should take for them to reach the goals. We have nutrition talks so they can talk about what they need to be eating at home, so it does compliment the workouts, but that's pretty much how it goes. All right. And what else do you want our listeners to know about you? What do you feel like sharing with us? Like what should they expect when they work with you? I think a lot of people just need to know that it takes hard work and dedication, but I'm going to hold you accountable. I'm going to motivate you, and I'm going to put things in front of you that you feel like you cannot do, but you will be able to do so. Just know that if you're lacking confidence, this is the place to be. Do not let fear stop you from signing up. Sounds good.
