Today we’d like to introduce you to Elmore McConnell.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I got my Degree from Mississippi State University in 2005 in Exercise Science. I moved from Alabama to Los Angel and then to Atlanta. After finding that most clients have faced some of the same issues I have faced through life I fell in love with just being able to Motivate, Inspire and Challenge them no matter their background or belief system. I have the ability to see myself in each and every client. Because I’ve face and overcame a lot of the same mental, physical and emotional obstacles that they have faced.
Has it been a smooth road?
At first I struggled with Marketing, I struggle with sales. All I wanted to do was Train Clients and help them to reach their fitness goals and be Whole Mentally, Emotionally and Physically. But I didn’t know much about business. So in order for me for me to do what I loved, I had to master what I hated in order to feed my family. So it has been a Bumpy ride from a Failed Relationship with the mother of my Daughter to my Car Getting Repossessed and being dam near Homeless. But after bouncing back from those pitfalls you get a level of Confidence that is unparalleled! I am a Warrior! Because I know what the Bottom looks, taste and feels like and I overcame that sh#%. You can’t buy that type of Confidence and it is truly priceless.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the We Train Atlanta story. Tell us more about the business.

How do you think the industry will change over the next decade?
If there is a Recession the shift will be more towards Group Training and BootCamps. As a Trainer if you are able to Create an App that will allow you to keep up with your Clients Calorie Intake and Expenditure while providing them with homework to do while they are away from you will be a game changer.
