Today we’d like to introduce you to Christina Nicci.
Christina, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I struggled with being bullied while I was in school. I used fitness and bodybuilding to help me cope with the long-term negative body image and negative mindset that the bullying had caused. I didn’t have family support to cope so I did a lot of research on diet and exercise. I ultimately got to the point of getting my certification in personal training just to gain more knowledge. Fast forward to today, I’m training for my first ever bodybuilding competition. My mindset is completely different and now I help others reach their health and fitness goals. I have a YouTube channel with all things health and fitness related and my Instagram is geared more towards my bodybuilding and healthy eating lifestyle.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Being bullied in school was a major struggle for me. I always carried a bit of extra weight and struggled to find a diet that worked for me.
Please tell us about your business.
My YouTube channel is all health and fitness topics, to include reviews for any products that I use personally in my healthy lifestyle. I recently started a health and fitness podcast called, “Ask Christina”. There I talk about health and fitness topics. I have special guests on with knowledge on specific subjects regarding health and fitness. The guests vary from bodybuilders, chiropractors, health and wellness companies and even guests who have battled domestic violence and used fitness as a tool to cope and ultimately gain strength to leave those situations. I think that what sets me apart from others is that I truly want to help others and show them a better way through fitness. Not everything is about making a dollar. I really want to see others succeed and not have to spend years figuring things out like I did. One other thing I’m working in is creating my own organic skin care line from a face cream that I have making and using for years. I guess I basically have many products that are health and fitness related, all of which are all natural.
Any shoutouts? Who else deserves credit in this story – who has played a meaningful role?
My sister, who is a master sergeant in the air force has had a major impact on me. She is a strong and fit wife, mother and family provider. She works hard and never gives up. I admire her commitment, not only to her job but to her family and fitness, to which she makes her priority.
Pricing:
- I do have workout programs that include meal plans. They vary but start at $75 and up depending on the length and options.
- I offer youtube videos to health and fitness companies out there for products that I can test myself: Those youtube videos cost $250
- I also offer instagram posts that showcase health and fitness products for $150 per post. These have to be products that I can physically test. They also have to be things that have worked well for me. I am very true to myself and I do not believe on making money off of something I personally would not use.
