Client Spotlight – Forty2 Fitness

In this Client Spotlight we take a look behind the scenes of Forty2 Fitness.

Karen Pearce set up Forty2 Fitness to offer Body Bootcamps on Twickenham Green (for lovely ladies), Virtual Bootcamp and Personal Training both in person and online. If you are a Mum with limited time to look after yourself, the early morning bootcamps may be just what you are looking for.

We asked Karen a few questions to find out more about her business.

Why did you set up your business?

As a way to earn a little extra money to supplement my income from Personal Training at David Lloyd. .  I am very happy to say that it has blossomed and I am now self employed and loving it.

How are you different to your competitors?

My bootcamps are for women only and therefore I can tailor the exercises and information specifically to women’s needs. I also try to make it as much fun as possible, adding in games and laughs while we workout. I believe exercise should be something we look forward to and not dread. I love the community spirit of all the ladies as well, so caring and supportive of one another. Warms the cockles ?

Who is your ideal client?

Lovely Ladies who like to have a laugh! Mum’s who struggle to find time for themselves, the classes are early so they can get the workout done before everyone is up and starts making demands of them.

Do you have a team?

No, I wear many hats.  Some of them don’t fit too well but the main ones do!

What is your biggest business challenge?

Learning all the technical aspects of social media/marketing.

If you could wave a magic wand, what one thing would you like to be sorted in your business?

Get my marketing sorted so that I can gain more lovely ladies on the Online Classes.  There is always plenty of room on the screen

What is the best business advice you received?

Get an accountant.

Why did you appoint Seed Accounting Solutions as your accountants? 

You were recommended multiple times when I asked for help with accounting on Facebook. A phone call with Tamsyn was very reassuring and calm and delivered on helping me to get organised immediately. And since then have made my life so much simpler and accounting wise stress free.

Who are your favourite influencers to follow on social media?

Precision Nutrition & Zoe for nutrition.  Thiswomanlifts for down to earth and funny observations on womens training and motherhood while giving great advice.  Also Goodscazrugby and the podcast for brilliant content on womens rugby.

How do you make time for yourself?

I am very lucky in that I start early and so finish early.  This gives me a few hours to myself before my husband comes home.  I like to go for a walk and listen to a podcast.  I am also a total bookworm so most days I can find time to sit down with a cup of tea and a book for a bit.  I know this is a real luxury and I am very grateful for it.
