Today we’d like to introduce you to Ariana Hakman.
Hi Ariana, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Thank you! My journey into health and fitness started with a deep passion for helping people live healthier lives. I initially built a gym and meal prep company with my husband Rich, but we
quickly realized that sustainable health goes beyond just workouts and eating right, it’s about
creating a system that supports people’s long-term success.
That’s why we developed the LunaFit app, to give people access to personalized fitness and
nutrition plans, daily tracking tools, and a built-in support system, all in one place. The idea was
born out of seeing the struggles our gym members and meal prep clients faced around
consistency, accountability, and motivation. We wanted to remove those roadblocks by making
health easier, more rewarding, and even fun.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It’s been anything but smooth! Entrepreneurship is a rollercoaster, but every challenge has pushed us to create something better. When we first started our gym, we faced major obstacles,
from losing a business partner to surviving the pandemic shutdowns. We had to pivot quickly,
livestreaming classes, renting out equipment, and finding new ways to serve our members.
The same resilience carried over to the LunaFit app. Developing an app from scratch with little
knowledge was a massive challenge. We had to bootstrap, learn new skills, and constantly
refine the vision to make it both effective and engaging. But those struggles have made the
journey worth it. Seeing people start to use the app to improve their health and stay consistent
reminds me why I do this.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
The LunaFit app is a one-stop solution for fitness and nutrition, designed to make health simple and rewarding. It includes:
✅ Personalized workout & nutrition plans tailored to each user
✅ Tracking for steps, hydration, and sleep to create sustainable habits
✅ A built-in social feed for accountability and motivation
✅ A unique rewards system where users earn ‘moonrocks’ for completing activities
✅ A marketplace for meal prep, supplements, and fitness gear
Beyond the app, we still operate LunaFit Fresh, our meal prep company, to support people with
healthy, ready-to-eat meals in the Central Florida area, and we run LunaFit Gym, our fitness
facility in Altamonte Springs. But the app is where I see the future of accessible, sustainable
health & fitness.
What’s next?
For me, happiness comes from helping people create real, lasting change in their health. I love seeing someone go from struggling with consistency to thriving because they finally have
the right information and support system.
On a personal level, my greatest joy is my daughter. She’s been my inspiration for everything,
even down to the name “LunaFit.” She reminds me daily why I push so hard, to build something
meaningful that helps people take control of their health while also balancing life’s
responsibilities.
