Today we’d like to introduce you to Kristan Hart.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I started in the fitness/wellness industry in 2015 but started to teach in 2017. After going through a mental break down I had to find ways to continue keeping myself healthy for the long term. What I found that helps me more than anything was working out and eating as healthy as I possibly can. That’s when I wanted to help others find a different way to destress and be healthier in all areas of their lives.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth ride! I opened up my business in August 2019 with a brick and mortar and then Covid hit 7 months later. Also with that, I’ve found out hard for people to not just see me and my company as just a black woman-owned company but in fact a company that is for all races, and cultures regardless of the race the teachers/owners are.
As you know, we’re big fans of Hart Mind Body Soul LLC. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Hart Mind Body Soul LLC was created from a play on my last name but also centering around our entire BODY and lifestyle. We specialize in providing people with a fun and judgment-free workout with affirmations before, during, and after the workout to strengthen their minds.
We are known for our fun pilates class called Pop Pilates and our Twerk classes. Also, bring a funny operated women’s business. I believe what sets it’s apart from others is that we don’t focus on just calories and workout this many days and hours to loud weight. We aren’t focused on weight loss as much as the regular gym or fitness business.
We focus more on seeing the change mentally and spiritually and then with that change you will see the change in your body as well. We get to the root of the problem before you can fix the surface. Right now, our services are mostly online and we do events and personal training. Another brick and mortar will be coming in the future but nothing is set in stone at the moment. I am currently out on the west coast getting more things prepared for the company.
What sort of changes are you expecting over the next 5-10 years?
In the next 5 years, I expect the HMBS name to be well known in South Carolina along with some of the surrounding states that have heard of us.
My hope is to change the fitness world and make people no longer hate working out or feel like it is a chore but instead make it more of a lifestyle.
