Meet Gia Fey of Body By Gia in Manhattan Beach

Today we’d like to introduce you to Gia Fey.

Thanks for sharing your story with us Gia. So, let’s start at the beginning, and we can move on from there.
I started as a personal trainer in Hollywood after graduating from Purdue University. After three years of managing LA Fitness & Golds Gym Training departments, I decided to go independent. It was not an easy journey but thanks to Youtube a few years later I was able to expand my training classes globally. One video led to almost 50K subs in the first five months.

This decision of starting a YoutTube channel transformed my business. Now, I work with several brands through all my platforms (Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Snapchat) to promote products that inspire healthy living. In addition, new opportunities came from that which included public speaking, mentoring, tv and radio segments. It’s still a new world but love evolving with the changes.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
It has definitely not been a smooth road. While building my business, I also got married and divorced. It was hard to keep going even with the pauses and bumps along the way. It did help me become a more resilient person and now share about my struggles at schools, fitness camps, tv, and other media outlets. I am happy my pain can help others heal their pain and find strength through hard times.

So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Body By Gia story. Tell us more about the business.
My business is a fitness brand that offers online & in-person coaching on how to love your body. I help women love their curves in order to find their power to improve their quality of life. I know for Curvy Girls Fitness, I build booty’s at home LOL I am proud to say I have helped thousands of women empower their lives by making healthier choices.

What sets me apart is me the trainer. Every trainer is different, and I have worked with several of the top Hollywood trainers, my expertise is based on several countries I resided in around the world as well. I specialize in Gluteos & Ab Workouts along with the mental fitness needed to achieve a goal.

Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
I can say some was good luck with the good timing. I started on YouTube when barely anyone was doing it. There was a lot less competition, but like anything, my tenacity has been a huge part of it. You don’t start making money on Youtube overnight so you have to love what you do for no money long enough to see a reward.
