Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and fitness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Bryce Henson, CEO of Fit Body Boot Camp, located in Chino Hills, CA, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

At Fit Body Boot Camp, our fitness classes are not “classes” in the traditional sense, but results-driven sessions focused on weight loss and body toning.

AFTERBURN: TWICE THE WORKOUT IN HALF THE TIME!

Our signature 30-minute Afterburn workouts combine High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) with Active Rest Training to produce fun workouts that burn twice the calories in half the time and keep your metabolism running at a higher rate for up to 36 hours post-workout. Every Fit Body Boot Camp session is led by a certified coach to ensure that you get the best workout and most fat burn while keeping you safe and injury-free!

Tell us about yourself

I started my life with humble beginnings in a trailer in the southeast US. Despite this, I eventually became the CEO of an 8 figure international franchise. I had 17 jobs beginning at age 12 and throughout my teens. I donated blood plasma to put myself through college. I sold nearly $10 million dollars in services as a professional career coach in my 20’s. I became a 7 figure gym owner by opening & scaling five gyms in my early 30’s.

I then became the CEO of Fit Body Boot Camp, Inc, the fastest-growing indoor boot camp fitness franchise on the planet. I am a professional speaker and have shared a stage with people like Jesse Itzler, Tim Grover, Jocko Willink, Ed Mylett, Jay Redman, Matt Wilber, and Bedros Keuilian. My personal mission is to inspire fitness and change lives every day by helping people who are hungry to help themselves.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Reaching the Inc 5,000 list four times.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

The buck stops with you. You are the one completely responsible. No one to point fingers at.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Be ready for early mornings and late evenings.
  2. Understand you are in the people business first and foremost. Your actual industry is secondary.
  3. You are the lid on your business. The only to grow the lid is to grow yourself through personal development and leadership.

Is there anything else you'd like to share?

My personal mission is to inspire fitness and change lives every day by helping people who are hungry to help themselves.
