Today we’d like to introduce you to Blake Chaney.
Blake, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
In 2015 I mealed Prepped for people in Memphis, TN. During this time I had a few people that I meal prepped for that was in to fitness. And while seeing and hearing them tell me that my meals was making a difference in their life it motivated me to start working out. During this time I was about to move to Dallas, TX and attend culinary school. I think once I made it to Dallas in 2016 I was more focused on what I could do with my body if I ate right and worked out like my friends. Sure enough it did and it became a passion to share what I discovered through healthy eating and exercise. From that point to July 2019, I became certified but still only training part-time due to being scared to jump into a field and take a risk to something I loved. Later in the year, I left corporate America to work as a Personal Trainer full time at Equinox while Still Running my Roar Fit by Blake Business as well. Realizing that when working for a gym, the focus is that gym and its values. It was all about sales and numbers versus the client’s happiness from there hard work and results. After three months I left the company and Focused on Roar Fit by Blake. And lets say it was the best decision I ever made. I have lots of clients and I get to be the difference for them, I get to enjoy their joy of success. I’m not in this to become a popular Instagram model, I’m not in it to become an ambassador. My purpose is to help a person as much as possible and help them reach levels they couldn’t reach before.
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?
It has been a smooth transition. I have been given the time to study more effectively, spend more time with my family, create more content. With this type of career, you have to show what separates you from the pack. So reinventing yourself weekly matters. So I’m always looking for ways to better my teachings but the business itself.
Please tell us about your business.
My business is Roar fit by Blake. I am a personal trainer with specializations in Strength Training, Weight Loss, and well as nutrition. I’m pretty much known for all aspects of training, but what separates me is my attention to detail—teaching while training, I want people to be able to grow into themselves—learning form and programs how to stay in shape moving forward on their own. I’m most proud of the grind that I have put in and the client’s work ethic. I’m proud that the business is growing faster than I ever could of imagine.
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
I think the biggest quality I have that fuels my success is my honesty, along with my ability to connect with people. I have always been a peoples person. I basically can bring anyone out of their shell. So a blend of the two Honest+Connection plays a huge role.
