Today we’d like to introduce you to Jackie Madison.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I have always been passionate about health and fitness. Obesity was prevalent in my family and I wanted to break the cycle. Throughout my adulthood, I have always been very conscious about maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
I started Glamour Girl Fitness at the age of 43 after giving birth to a beautiful baby girl when most women are done having children. I lost 20 pounds before the birth of my daughter and second child and returned to my pre-pregnancy weight. It was a fairytale for me. That doesn’t happen much after pregnancy and not at that age. I wanted other women to feel what I felt.” I was over 40 and fabulous, and never felt so GOOD!
Working at a plastic surgery center as well really opened my eyes to the importance of nutrition as many patients were unhealthy and desperate to improve their health and appearance. I obtained my certification in lifestyle and weight management to better help our patients and others live a longer and more quality fulfilled life.
Fast forward to age 50 and I am even more passionate about leading a healthy lifestyle. My purpose in life is to motivate women (fabulous glamour girls) everywhere to improve their overall health and fitness for lasting lifestyle changes regardless of age.
Glamour Girl Fitness signature program is my “Mommy & Me Time Out For Fitness” initiative. I decided to focus the business in that area because the majority of my clients are moms with EXCUSES. I can spread the word to busy moms that they should STOP making EXCUSES for not having time to work out. Just incorporate your kids. Supersede the word fitness with FUN!!
It is important for moms and their kids to get fit because it truly helps reduce the stress level for moms as well as kids. The importance of focusing on fitness early in life will help to keep the body healthy and strong. It will help fight against obesity if you encourage FITNESS in the formative years.
I incorporated my daughter into my workout routines at age four. She has become my accountability partner. It’s really cool to workout with my daughter because I see how much she enjoys hanging out with me and the FUN she has when we are doing it together. It’s our bonding time with fitness and fun.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Trying to build your passion into a profitable business is definitely not easy. I found myself giving away most of my services for free. Also, I had to take a step back and figure out how I could work my passion along with being a mom, wife and full-time manager for the other businesses I am working. Yes, being a mom is a full-time job.
