The gym was very successful and expanding to multiple locations. Within 6 months of starting, I became the fitness director of the personal training department while still performing my personal training duties. After deep contemplation, I changed my major from engineering to exercise science while adding on a minor in business.Īfter graduating in December of 2012 for NAU, I got a job as a personal trainer for a local gym in Gilbert, AZ.
After growing up playing and absolutely loving sports, culminating in playing ice hockey for NAU, I knew that I wanted to be in the fitness industry in some way while also owning my own business. After one semester, I quickly realized that I was on a path that I could be successful on, but not one that I was passionate about. I liked working with my hands and creating solutions for problems. I started off my college career as a mechanical engineer student. My journey to starting my own personal training and sports performance business started when I was attending Northern Arizona University (NAU). Hi Robert, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
We had the good fortune of connecting with Robert Brown and we’ve shared our conversation below.
