Ep 105 - Build Your Own Community with Karen Poole

Mom: In-Process

This episode is for anyone who is struggling to find a community of like-minded women. I invited Karen Poole, founder of Heroic Mama Fitness, to join me on the podcast and share her story about how she took action to build her own community of mama friends using her past experience and knowledge. Karen has 3 years of experience working with moms and kids in an outdoor fitness environment, both as a client and as a certified instructor. She’s been a certified personal trainer since 2014, and has been very involved in athletics for most of her life. She played college basketball and was formerly an Athleta Sponsored Athlete.
When they moved to be closer to family, she found herself in a new town with no friends and missing the mama group fitness community, FIT4MOM; she had grown to love. After realizing the franchised group was not available in their new location, Karen shares how she used her knowledge and past experience to create a similar opportunity for local women, in turn, building a community of mama friends at the same time. Heroic Mama Fitness became the group she needed and the growing business she envisioned. Karen shares with me the ups and downs of creating a community, how to prepare and pack if you’re interested in joining a similar group in your area, and where she plans on taking her business in the future. Of course, we add in all the mom-talk with a little side dish of business chat in this one.
