Short company description: BattleFitted is a veteran-owned personal development brand that transforms pain into progress. We provide motivational coaching, empowering individuals to overcome obstacles and push their limits, whether through fitness, mindset coaching, or our apparel line. Our mission is to inspire resilience and strength, helping people battle harder in every aspect of life.
How do you define success?: Success is the ability to keep going no matter what because we only fail when we give up
How did you get started in your field or work?: By realizing that my mental health issues do not define me and I can use what I’ve been through to help others
What’s one thing we should know that makes your company unique?: One thing that makes BattleFitted unique is our mission to turn pain into progress. We go beyond traditional coaching by drawing from real-life experiences of military service, overcoming PTSD, and personal transformation to inspire resilience. BattleFitted empowers people to use their struggles as fuel to build strength, both physically and mentally, through our coaching, content, and apparel.
What was the biggest obstacle you had to overcome in your business?: Well we are relatively new in the coaching industry so the biggest challenge is showing potential clients that personal development coaching can be a holistic approach to reach their goals and objectives
