While social media can be a great tool to put your message out there and connect with people, it's never the ultimate means to build and grow your fitness business. It takes more than that, one that ensures not just short-term but long-term success. To a certain extent, it helps but something more profound works better. Sahmura Gonzalez is a National Board Certified Health &amp; Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) and a NASM Certified Personal Trainer. She holds a B.A. from Sarah Lawrence College, and completed her Integrative Health Coaching Professional Training at the Department of Integrative Medicine at Duke University. Over the nine years that Sahmura has spent in the fitness, health, and wellness industry, she has trained and coached over 20,000+ sessions and worked with hundreds of clients with a wide variety of goals and abilities. No matter which hat she is wearing (Personal Trainer or Health Coach), her goal is simple: to empower her clients to take their health into their own hands and to drive measurable results by working with them to create attainable goals and action steps and provide accountability. In this episode, Sahmura shares her transition from being an in-person trainer to an online health coach, the benefits of being one, and how it completely changed her life, releasing her from exhaustion and burnout.  She talks about giving value and impacting her clients' lives, making her build a business from referrals, and putting out a message on her website that speaks from her core and resonates to the right audience that shares what she stands for. She underscores the need to develop one's essential communication and listening skills as keys to genuinely connecting and building relationships and a business for the long term.
