Meet Chyanne Dover
Builder of the Week
Online Fitness Coach
Owner of Lift With Chy
On getting into coaching:
- Began preparing for first bikini competition when she was 18
- Jumped into things a little too quickly, but discovered her passion
- Competed in her first competition at 19
- After the show was over, she just quit doing everything she had been doing and gained 30 lbs in about 6 weeks
- Hired a new coach and pulled herself out of the rut and realized that she wanted to be, for others, the support that she needed during her difficult time
- Began working with some friends and family members, and at the beginning of 2020 her business really took off
On her business:
- Works virtually with 35 clients providing workouts, nutrition, and education
- Focuses on educating her clients so that when they are done working with her they have the skills they need
- Had to learn the business side of things from a mentor
- Has gained ~75% of her clients via referrals from previous clients
On investing in yourself:
- Coaching is an investment in yourself
- Committing six months to your health can pay dividends for the rest of your life
- Changing often requires you to get to a point where continuing down the path you're on is scarier than changing
- You can't put a price tag on your health
- Preventative health is key
- Make your health a non-negotiable
- We spend lots of money on things we can't afford, but we often don't spend money on our health–the one thing you can't buy
On why people get in shape:
- You need a reason to keep going during the hard days, because "just wanting to look good" probably won't get you through
- You need an emotional, deep reason that sticks with you
- Dig deeper until you really find your why
