#34 Success Running A Sporty Business with Kate Rowen
This week on the podcast, I chat to Kate Rowen, personal trainer and founder of the fitness business Fifty Fitness.
Kate started her business during COVID, after she took a redundancy from her University Lecturer position.
Her business focuses on training the over 50s and she's found a real niche market in Perth.
In this podcast, we chat about:
- How Kate overcame the fear around going into business for herself.
- How she went from lecturer to personal trainer.
- Why she felt it was important to follow her dreams when the opportunity came knocking.
- How COVID gave her an advantage and she embraced it.
- How she has a niche target market that no one else in Perth has (over 50s PT).
- Why she’s writing a book about the struggles of trying to stay fit over 50.
- How menopause affects your health and why there’s not enough education around what it does to your body.
- How she loves the autonomy of working for herself and how she could never go back to working for someone else
- How important it is to have a business mentor or coach to help you learn the ropes.
You can find Kate on her website here.
