After years in the corporate world, Robin Bourdeau struck out on her own to help others find the life and body they always wanted.<\/p>\n

How Ian Emmanuel Turned His Personal Health Transformation into QF Fitness<\/span><\/h2>\n

Robin Bourdeau was a hardworking mother juggling everything from her family to her career to her health<\/strong>. And like a lot of working mothers, she was eventually stretched to a breaking point. \u201cMy career and my family took precedence over everything else, my health and everything,\u201d Robin told us when we spoke to her about her business. \u201cBefore I knew it, I was 270 pounds…I was unrecognizable. Having grown up in gymnastics and been a coach, I was mortified.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2007, Robin decided that enough was enough<\/strong>. She took it upon herself to actively reclaim her life and happiness. \u201cI ate healthy, I exercised, and I dropped well over 100 pounds. I\u2019ve kept it off for more than ten years at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n

After her amazing transformation, Robin noticed that the people in her life had started to look up to her<\/strong> as an example. At corporate dinners, her colleagues would request to have the same meal as her. In the office, they asked about her lifestyle and wanted to emulate her success. \u201cI want to be able to continue to inspire people to live that kind of life,\u201d Robin told us. \u201cI\u2019m a personal trainer, I teach yoga, I\u2019m learning to teach Pilates. I just want to do this full time. So, I did.\u201d<\/p>\n

And so Robin Bourdeau Coaching was born.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a personal trainer, I teach yoga, I\u2019m learning to teach Pilates. I just want to do this full time. So, I did.\u201d – Robin Bourdeau<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Since then, Robin has worked hard to find success for herself and for her clients. She discovered a direct path to that success with NPE<\/strong>. NPE<\/a> is an industry leading fitness-business education company that helps fitness professionals grow their businesses. NPE introduced Robin to WellnessLiving<\/strong>, and since then, she has been riding the wave of support to higher levels of success than she could have ever imagined.<\/p>\n

Overpaying for Software That Didn\u2019t Include Essential Tools<\/span><\/h2>\n

Before Robin discovered NPE and WellnessLiving, she was having difficulty getting the word out about her business. \u201cI\u2019m really good at helping people once they get in front of me but getting the people in front of me is where I needed that support<\/strong>,\u201d Robin told us.<\/p>\n

Indeed, as the owner of a brand-new business, Robin faced a lot of challenges. She did her best to confront each one as they came her way, and generally was able to prevail. When she needed to find clients, she sought them out and hoped that word of mouth would help her proceed with success. When she needed to manage her schedule, she pulled out her phone and opened her digital calendar. When she needed to keep track of her earnings, she created a spreadsheet.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was just using my calendar on my phone<\/strong>\u2026 Also, Excel spreadsheets<\/strong> and things of that nature. Notebooks.<\/strong> Tracking clients without that online capability of setting action items and follow up notes and keeping all of my notes in one spot.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Robin\u2019s resourceful methods could only carry her so far. \u201cIt was becoming a little bit disorganized and overwhelming<\/strong>…I needed a system [that I could use to] keep track and really service my clients the way they should be serviced.\u201d As every business owner knows, you can\u2019t do it all alone.<\/strong> Robin needed help.<\/p>\n

Choosing WellnessLiving as a More Transparent, Supportive Partner<\/span><\/h2>\n

After a few months of jury-rigged management tactics, Robin turned to WellnessLiving, an all-in-one business management software solution<\/a>. \u201cWellnessLiving really provided what I was looking for<\/strong>,\u201d Robin said. Equipped with all the tools she needed to manage and grow her business effectively, Robin was ready to jump right in.<\/p>\n

With the help of the onboarding team, the data migration process has been as smooth as Robin could have hoped. \u201cI loved when I would test things out and have some questions [during the onboarding process]…the [WellnessLiving team] were able to answer my questions quickly. So, it\u2019s been very, very simple to get it up and running<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since starting with WellnessLiving, Robin has seen vast improvements for her business. Now she can focus on coaching her clients, leaving her software to take care of the business details.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While transferring her business to her new software solution, Robin discovered that WellnessLiving is equipped with more options to help streamline her business<\/strong>. As she discovered further options, she worked with WellnessLiving to integrate them with her business. \u201cI decided midstream to add the merchant account<\/strong>, because it just didn\u2019t make sense to have the system without being able to let people pay when they book. So, it\u2019s all been very seamless<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Learning how to manage her growing business with her new software was a quick and easy process. In no time, Robin was experiencing the benefits of working with the best all-in-one business management solution on the market. \u201cIt\u2019s very easy. It\u2019s really intuitive<\/strong>\u2026 I can focus more on building my relationship with clients and actually training them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since starting with WellnessLiving, Robin has seen vast improvements for her business. Her clients are happy, too. \u201cMy current clients really like the usability of WellnessLiving. And I\u2019ve already got one 5-star review, so that was awesome.<\/strong>\u201d Next, Robin plans to start making use of WellnessLiving\u2019s email marketing<\/a> options to distribute newsletters to her clients. With WellnessLiving, Robin is looking forward to years of success and transformation for herself and for her clients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
