Today we’d like to introduce you to Tarnisha Hayter.
Tarnisha, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I got my personal training certification back in 2012 then started recording videos on Instagram of me working out a few months later. Videos started going viral and my followers grew from there. After while some of my followers became personal training clients. A few years later I opened a gym and failed miserably but learned a lot along the way, after that I decided to relocate and continue training but got burnt out months later and turned my clients into customers with my new weight loss products. They end up getting results and loving the products so I opened up an online fitness store shortly after helping women lose weight. Now I currently have an Online Store called Team Total Body and a Podcast called Total Body Talk with Tarnisha which airs next week. Total Body Talk with Tarnisha is about total body wellness mind, body and spirit to help people live a healthier balanced lifestyle.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The struggles were the fear of failing again and stepping into unknown territory. I’ve never sold products in my life other then DVD’s and personal training packages and never had my own podcast suite. I had a fear of leasing again since I had to file bankruptcy with the gym but I did things differently this time because I learned from my mistakes.
Please tell us about Team Total Body.
Team Total Body comes from me going by Tarnisha Total Body on social media. I always knew my brand would expand beyond my name. I currently sale Waist Trainers, Body Shapers, What Waist Workout Enhancing Gel, Total Body Coffee which helps you lose weight and helps with emotional eating. Resistant bands and my DVD’s. I am known for crazy killer workouts and my waist trainers. I am most proud of my organic growth because I have never paid for ads or used an influencer and I am still constantly having to restock products and doing great. What sets me apart is helping people get results and really diving in deep with the Podcast letting God use me as a vessel to share my story and be as transparent as possible to really help people because we all struggle with the mind, body and spirit. This is more than just a business it’s a service, it’s my purpose.
Do you look back particularly fondly on any memories from childhood?
My mom coming to my field day and seeing me run for the first time. She spotted my natural gift and speed early on and planted a seed inside me that I never let go. She made me feel like the fastest girl in the world, listening to her cheer me on and build my confidence is unexplainable. Still till this day feel unstoppable. I’m a natural-born athlete it’s one of my gifts and the best thing about that is my son has my same gifts and I get to cheer him on like my mom did me.
