Today we’d like to introduce you to Tracy Campoli.
Tracy, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I started my career as a Pilates Instructor in New York City. As a former professional dancer, it was the perfect next step for me. I LOVED Pilates and worked for more than a decade at a big gym in NYC. In 2008 I decided to start my own studio and opened my boutique Pilates studio in New York’s Union Square. I always had a vision of helping more people, and even though I loved teaching my classes and sessions, I knew that I could only reach the people that were actually in the room, and that was really limited. Freedom is a major core value for me, and even though I loved my “in-person” students, I felt somewhat trapped in that I HAD to be in New York and in the studio to create income.
In 2009 I put my first video onto a relatively “new” platform called YouTube. I really had no plan or strategy, I just wanted to share. After a few months one of my videos had over twenty thousand views (and I am embarrassed to say that it was a friend who pointed this out to me. I was just not focused on it) and at that moment I KNEW I was onto something big. I’ve since had over 20 Million views on my YouTube channel and that has been the biggest way for me to market my business globally and to help more people.
I created a fitness community called Total Body Transformation and have thousands of members in my virtual studio every day. All of my business is done online, and last year my husband and I moved to beautiful Miami. I am so fortunate because I didn’t have any stress or worry with relocating as I am able to run my business from anywhere in the world.
Miami is the perfect place for my family. We love the sun, the palm trees, water views and the amazing lifestyle here.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
OH HECK NO!
Being an entrepreneur is the greatest exercise in self-development. All of your “shiz” will come up, guaranteed!
I had so much FEAR when I decided to leave the safety of working for the gym and then once I finally did I more than doubled my income in my first year. I also struggled when I knew that I wanted to have an online business more than a brick and mortar studio…I feared it wouldn’t be possible or that people wouldn’t want to workout with me online.
All of these are just stories that we create in our minds. And because we keep thinking these limiting thoughts, it becomes something we believe a true. And it’s just not! I am constantly challenging myself to reach a NEW level and as the saying goes “New Level, New Devil”.
The maturity that comes with entrepreneurship is that rather than thinking something is wrong or that I should stop when I feel these fears or have these limiting thoughts I know know that I am GROWING and that is a good thing. In order to be successful, I’ve had to trust myself, surround myself with like-minded people, invest heavily in my personal development and business coaching…and just keep going. Failure simply doesn’t exist.
Have I made mistakes? Of course! But I ask better questions now, like what did I learn from this…and then keep it moving!
I am by noooo means an “overnight” success. But the big secret is to keep going! Keep moving forward every day because every small step creates a quantum leap!
We’d love to hear more about your work.
I am a lifestyle and wellness coach. I help women lose weight without another dumb diet…because lawd knows those NEVER work!
I help women get fit without endless hours of boring repetitive workouts. I love making my students sweat and smile. I am a “busy babe” as a new mom and busy entrepreneur, I need my fitness to be efficient and effective which is exactly why I created Total Body Transformation. You can transform your body from your living room in just 30 minutes a day. No time wasted driving to a gym, no need to even get out of your pajamas (again…I’m a new mom! I have ZERO time!) No need to waste hours scrolling around the internet trying to figure out what workouts to do to create results. We do it all for you! You simply log in and press play!
I am so proud of the community I have created inside of Total Body Transformation aka The Transformer Tribe. We have women from all over the world, of all ages and stages of live supporting each other, cheering each other on and creating a group of amazing fit friends. I LOVE it! And I am honored to lead such an amazing group of women.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing these women share their results: pounds lost, inches lost, new sizes of clothing and they have ENJOYED the process of their transformation. That’s TRANSFORMATION!
The confidence that is created is amazing! We have women that have worn a bikini for the first time ever…in their 50’s! Women who are grandmothers and are exercising to have more energy for their grandkids. We have postmenopausal women that feel better than they did in their 20’s! We have women that got ready for their wedding and felt amazing for their photos. We have new moms that lost all their baby weight and they didn’t do anything drastic or dramatic to create their results.
These are the things that fire me up and make me so proud.
And as a mom to a three-month-old, I am so proud that I have created an amazing business and team that allows me to help women globally AND have time for my family and spend time with my little girl and my husband. It took time to figure it out and put all the pieces in order…and it was so worth it!
So, what’s next? Any big plans?
It’s such an exciting time right now because I just gave birth three months ago so that is my biggest and most proud moment. I am excited about my own personal transformation in my body and life post-baby.
I am learning every day how to create FLOW in my life as an entrepreneur, a wife, a mother. And I’ve learned it takes a village. I do not even attempt to do this on my own! It simply would not be possible!
My biggest goal is to be an example of what is possible for other women. Being that woman that “has it all” does not mean being a burnt-out, exhausted hot mess!! Asking and receiving help is ESSENTIAL, in both my personal life and my business.
And I am LOVING have real honest conversations about what it REALLY takes to run a successful business and be a mom.
