Today we’d like to introduce you to Simone Mack-Orr.
Hi Simone, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstories.
Absolutely! So I started working out and training heavily at the age of 21. I had always followed my dad around the gym as a little girl, but fitness served as a form of confidence-boosting for me. I loved taking classes and so it was suggested to me that I get certified and so I did and the rest is history.
I’ve always had a huge thirst and interest in learning new fitness platforms so that I would be able to serve people from all different walks of life.
To take my confidence to the next level I decided to compete in figure and bodybuilding and in 2011 I earned my IFBB Figure Pro Card and began Smack Fitness because I felt like if I could push and empower myself then I could help others whether it was through personal training, small workshops or group fitness classes.
Today Smack Fitness LLC, offers personal training, small group training, wellness coaching along with corporate training initiatives as well.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The road has been anything but smooth. I wasn’t sure if I could stand on my own, so I always worked a full-time job using my Communications degree. As I’ve gotten older the hardest part for me has been recognizing that as much as people love what you do and how you do it, they still may never become your client.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Smack Fitness LLC?
Smack Fitness LLC is my personal training business that works with clients looking to make changes, maintain and learn how to love and strengthen their bodies from the inside out.
So much of fitness is based on aesthetics and unfortunately so many people take on plans that destroy their mental health and their metabolism. Smack Fitness is all about doing work that helps bring awareness to your body and your mind. We are not limited to a gym space; we meet at home, virtually and outside.
At first, I thought that I had a passion for just fitness and now 20 years in, I realize that I have a passion for people and watching them grow and evolve on their wellness journey. I currently offer small group training sessions, one on one personal training sessions, corporate wellness workshops, and coming soon pilates.
