The Obvious Choice 288 | Why This Gym Director Left Her Job for Online Fitness Coaching w/ Kaylee Bennett
Imagine having a role as a gym director and then shifting to being an online fitness coach. How would that feel? Today’s podcast guest took the quantum leap and went all in as an online fitness trainer while building her own coaching business.
