In today's episode, I sit down with Lance, a 21-year-old online fitness trainer who recently made the bold move to leave his in-person training business behind to focus entirely on his online practice. Lance and I dive deep into the unique challenges and opportunities of building a fitness business with a young audience, exploring how to grow alongside your client base as they transition from college students to young professionals.
