Ep 43. Building her Fitness Business in 8 Hours a Week with Anuschka Wyatt-Weeks

In this episode of The MumSafe Movement Podcast Jen talks to Anuschka, MumSafe Trainer and owner of Feel Vibrant Fitness in Cleveland on the Redlands Coast in QLD. Anuschka specialises in educating and empowering women through Movement and Mindset to ‘Feel Vibrant!’. Specifically working with women who want help to positively cope with the challenges and demands of daily life at every stage of life. Since 2012 Anuschka has been helping individuals and groups through health and fitness coaching to make postive changes to their lives. Anuschka gave birth to her 2 children in her early 40’s and experienced a collision of post natal and peri-menopausal life. This experience is one of the drivers for her focus and dedication to be part of the movement of health and fitness professionals that are focussing specifically on women's health and fitness through all the stages of a woman's life. Annuscka is one of the MumSafe quiet achievers who has very limited time each week to work on and in her business. I wanted to delve into her journey because she is a true example of how slow and steady wins the race and I truly believe that when she chooses to go full throttle within her business that because her foundations run so deep she will absolutely fly. How understanding the unique needs of women in fitness is crucial for trainers working with mums. How continuous education and staying up-to-date with research and techniques are essential for providing the best support to clients. How postnatal recovery and pelvic floor health are important considerations for women returning to exercise after pregnancy. How empathy and understanding are key qualities for trainers working with mms, as every woman's journey is different. Take things at your own pace and don't compare yourself to others. Understand your values and align your business with them. Find a supportive community that shares your goals and values. Use strategies like flyers, branded merchandise, and community talks to attract clients. Believe in yourself and your ability to make a difference in the fitness industry.

Meli’s journey into the fitness industry started with a career in dance, after this she became a master trainer for a fitness company in Argentina teaching around the world before moving to Australia and becoming a mum.
