Today we’d like to introduce you to Alexis Wingo.
Hi Alexis, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I joined the military when I was 17 years old. I knew I wanted to inspire people and make a change in the world I lived in, and at that time, the military was the only way I thought I could do that. After a few years, I realized that there were more ways to help people than just fighting for my country, so I decided to take a leap of faith and start my first business. I started a marketing company because I could build the tools to reach a large audience and help other people’s businesses be seen and heard. A few years into my business, I decided that to be the best version of myself, I needed to invest and build into my mental and physical mindset as well, so that is when I started my fitness journey; the more I got into the gym, the more I found my passion for helping others find the motivation to build themselves, from there I decided to post my journey to show that it’s not impossible to be a mom, business owner and still find time to invest within yourself. That led to me starting my second business of online program coaching; the best way for me to build myself, was to build others by doing what I love. It has been the best decision I have ever made!
Would it have been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It has not always been a smooth road; along the way, I’ve faced multiple deaths in the family, as well as almost being homeless. When I took my leap of faith, I moved across the country to build and expand my network of people; shortly after I moved across the country, I found myself with no one I knew around me. I knew it was rock bottom for me, and I could only go up. Along the way, I had my beautiful daughter and had to make tough decisions as to how I was going to raise her as a single mother; I learned to dial in and use my daughter as motivation to give her a life that I never had and build my dreams regardless of what the risk may be!
Let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I am most known for my work in the fitness industry and for helping clients become the best versions of themselves! I specialize in shaping my client’s physical state into what they have always dreamed of and desired to be. I love to create programs for clients and inspire people to be the best version of themselves regardless of what life dealt them.
What do you like and dislike about the city?
I love the network that our city has to offer; to me, it is unmatched. Orlando is a place where people can meet multiple successful people and not even realize it. The culture here is unmatched, and the opportunity is unmatched; the biggest dislike about our city is that it is effortless to get lost in the activities here. There are so many opportunities in our city, good and bad, so if you are not dialed in, it’s easy to fade into the party and tourist city lifestyle.
