Has entrepreneurship been a dream of yours? So many people hold the thought of being a business owner as far-fetched or unrealistic, especially if you have a full-time career or are the income-earner in your family.


But entrepreneurship is not far-fetched. In fact, owning your own business is not only realistic but smart. When you own your business, you don’t worry about getting laid off, you don’t worry about getting fired, and you are in charge of the success and longevity of your business. There has really never been a better time to be an entrepreneur. There are opportunities today that simply didn’t exist even a few decades ago. Will you take advantage of them?

What Kind Of Business Is Right For You?

Have you considered the business opportunities available in the fitness industry? When you are passionate about what you do, it doesn’t feel like work. And, when you are building something that is your own, you’ll feel a renewed sense of purpose, passion and drive.


The fitness industry is growing faster than ever before. More and more, people are understanding the connection between physical fitness and overall health, energy and happiness. People of all ages are getting involved and joining gyms at record rates. This is because people are understanding the health implications of obesity and living a sedentary lifestyle. People of all ages, fitness levels and body types are looking for improved health, fitness and longevity.


Today’s fitness business is about providing an experience as well as results. You can be general or specific. Many gyms and trainers focus on a specific niche, tailoring their services to help create the best possible experience and results. You can cater to people with hectic schedules looking for a quick workout, new moms, senior citizens, people looking to lift weights, dance off their extra pounds or get serious about cardiovascular fitness. The options are endless.

Does A Fitness Business Sound Good To You?

Are you falling out of love with your 9 to 5? Are you worried about job security and the future? The reality is that job security is a thing of the past anyway.


When you work 9 to 5 you are helping to build someone else’s dream. Why not build your own?


If you’re passionate about fitness, helping people and creating a sustainable source of income that you control, then consider a fitness business.

How Realistic Is It?

While the concept of starting your own business may feel overwhelming and out of reach, starting a fitness business is easier than you think. Compared to many other types of business, startup is both less complicated and less expensive than you might think. And, you can get started while you still work your day job.


Having support and expertise helps, of course. Like any other business, you’ll need preparation and planning and you can do both while you continue working. It’s important to examine your business from all angles and to create a smart marketing plan before you start to ensure the best possible launch.


Getting support from those that understand the industry and how it works will dramatically cut the learning curve, saving you time, money and stress. You can get up and running with a business that feels good and does good. Imagine going into “work” but it’s your own business that you built doing what you believe in, working with people you choose. You get to build your team and you choose how your business works. What would that feel like?


If you have the desire to create a sustainable business that changes lives and builds a better future for you and those you love, now is the time to consider opening your own fitness-based business. There are numerous possibilities, it’s time to start exploring yours today.

I will discuss 10 healthy eating habits that can power your fitness journey and complement your workouts, helping you achieve your goals efficiently.

Embarking on a fitness and nutrition journey can be both exciting and overwhelming, especially for beginners. At 3 Elements Lifestyle, we understand the importance of guiding newcomers through their initial steps toward a healthier lifestyle. In this blog, we will provide you with 10 practical tips that will help you kickstart your fitness and nutrition journey with confidence and determination. 1. Set Realistic Goals: Begin by setting realistic goals that align with your fitness and nutrition aspirations. Start with small, achievable targets to avoid feeling overwhelmed or discouraged. Gradually increase the intensity and duration of your workouts as you progress. Going cold turkey on your eating never works out. Go slow and let the body adjust. You are in it for the long run. 2. Find Your Motivation: Identify your personal motivation for pursuing a healthier lifestyle. Whether it's to improve your overall well-being, increase energy levels, or boost self-confidence, having a clear motivation will keep you focused and committed throughout your journey. Write your goals down, so you know exactly what they are. I recommend placing them in the refrigerator so you will see then every time you open it. 3. Participate in Group Classes: Joining group classes like at 3 Elements Lifestyle can provide you with the support and motivation needed to stay consistent. Our classes are always led by a trained instructor. The workouts include bodyweight training, HIIT, kettlebells, cardio, strength training, battle ropes, tire flipping, and offer a diverse range of workouts that cater to different fitness levels and preferences. 4. Prioritize Nutrition: Fitness and nutrition go hand in hand. Nourishing your body with the right foods will enhance your workouts and accelerate your progress. Poor quality food will do the opposite. Focus on consuming a balanced macro diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, lots of vegetables, and healthy fats. Consult a nutritionist for personalized advice if needed. 5. Stay Hydrated: This is a big one. Maintaining adequate hydration is essential for overall health and optimal workout performance. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially before, during, and after exercise. Hydration helps regulate body temperature, supports joint health, and aids in nutrient absorption. A good marker for daily water intake is to take your weight, divide it by two and drink that many ounces a day. 6. Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to your body's signals during workouts. Push yourself to challenge your limits, but also know when to rest and recover. Overtraining can lead to injuries and burnout, so allow yourself time for adequate rest and rejuvenation. 7. Incorporate Resistance Training: In addition to cardiovascular exercises, include resistance training in your workout routine. This helps build lean muscle mass, increases metabolism, and improves overall strength. Start with bodyweight exercises and gradually introduce kettlebells, weighted balls or weights as you progress. 8. Prioritize Sleep: Adequate sleep is crucial for muscle recovery and overall well-being. Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night to support your fitness goals. Establish a bedtime routine and create a sleep-friendly environment to optimize restful sleep. 9. Track Your Progress: Keep a record of your fitness and nutrition journey to track your progress effectively. Monitor changes in your strength, endurance, and body composition. This will not only help you stay motivated but also enable you to make adjustments to your routine as necessary. 10. Celebrate Milestones: Celebrate your accomplishments along the way, no matter how small. Recognize your dedication and hard work by treating yourself to a non-food-related reward or sharing your achievements with friends and family. Remember, every step counts! In conclusion, embarking on a fitness and nutrition journey as a beginner can be challenging, but with the right guidance and mindset, it becomes an empowering experience. At 3 Elements Lifestyle, we are committed to helping you kickstart your journey on the right foot. By setting realistic goals, prioritizing nutrition, staying consistent, and listening to your body, you'll be well on your way to achieving a healthier and more fulfilling lifestyle. Get ready to unleash your potential and embrace the transformative power of fitness and nutrition, and a better, healthier life! Stay healthy my friend!
