At the age of 18 and a year into COVID, she decided to open up her own gym, not taking any debt, she was adding more equipment each time she got paid. Currently has 2 FTEs with 22 clients and is still growing. (Lola Mormino)

In this episode, Troy interviews Lola Mormino from Lola's House. She's based out of Los Angeles in the United States.

When Lola was younger, She used to play ice hockey with a focus to be in the Olympics. Once she healed from all her health issues and challenges, that's when she wanted to start learning more about the mind and body and how to stay as healthy as possible and really share that with others. She started her training business when she was 17. She became certified the day after she graduated high school because you were not allowed to become one until you graduated from high school. She opened her own gym at age 18.

Lola didn't take any debt when she started her gym and it was smart not to just buy everything all at once, she took her time with making those purchases as she got paid. The least she enjoyed about managing fast growth is dealing with the accounting side of it which to her is so tedious.
