From government benefits to owning a business grossing £11,000 a month, plus winning a top fitness business award!
Haywards Heath, Sussex (PRWEB UK) 28 October 2013 -- Single mum Maxine, 26, from Lindfield in West Sussex has turned her life around - going from claiming benefits to owning a business that generates £11,000+ (and growing) each month, in less than 12 months.
Maxine fell pregnant at 20 and during her pregnancy gained four and a half stone, taking her weight to 16 stone after the birth of her son in 2008.
Feeling unhappy with her appearance, lacking energy and wanting some time to herself, she joined the local gym.
At the gym she met a trainee Personal Trainer who trained her free of charge to gain experience, and within ten months she had lost six and a half stone.
After catching the 'exercise bug', Maxine wanted to get back to work and also help other women who were in the same situation as she had been. She borrowed the money from her Mum and enrolled on a Personal Trainer course.
During her Personal Trainer course Maxine had to gain experience herself in a gym. She was hired as a Gym Instructor at a local health spa.
Maxine said, “I was being paid £50 a day at the gym but child care was costing me £62! I was losing out financially but it was my dream to qualify and nothing would stop me."
As soon as she qualified she opened her fitness business, training women in her local park and in their homes, but as December 2012 approached Maxine’s business took a turn for the worse as clients left and she didn’t have any new clients coming through the door.
Maxine soon realised that she needed to master business skills if her business was to survive and she came across NPE (Net Profit Explosion).
NPE helps Personal Trainers with every aspect of business – sales, marketing, staffing, financials and business systems.
Again, Maxine borrowed money from her family and made the investment in NPE.
Fast-forward 12 months - Maxine has two staff, over 60 clients, has moved into her own private personal training studio, and continues to have her 'best month ever' in business. Plus she won 'Fitness Business Of The Year' award from NPE for 2013.
Ben Davis, UK/European Director of NPE said, “It just shows you what is possible if you have a dream and you’re willing to do whatever it takes to reach it. Maxine is living proof of this and it’s a huge achievement."
Maxine said, “The last 12 months of my life have been unbelievable and I hope my story motivates others to achieve their dreams."
“NPE has transformed my life and taught me how to market my business to attract more clients and make a greater impact on the local community."
“My business has helped so many people lose weight over the last 12 months; I hope my story of weight loss and business success encourages others to take action.”
