Check Out Trevor Franklin’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Trevor Franklin.

Hi Trevor, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I grew up in Lubbock, Texas from the ages of 3-23. At the age of 23, I was recruited by a modeling agency in NYC. I flew in for test shoots and fell in love with the city. By the end of the trip, I decided I would do whatever it took to move to NYC. I dropped out of college and booked a 1 way flight in early 2017. When I arrived in NY, I tried the modeling life and hated it. I didn’t enjoy castings or being superficially judged by people that didn’t know me. After a few weeks, I fell back to my fitness roots and began teaching at orange theory fitness. I did that for three years and finished my career there as a regional fitness educator that helped certify other coaches and open studios. After I left OTF, I branched out on my own but still taught classes at Performix House in NYC. I did that until covid hit.

When the world shut down, I transitioned my business to online and it blew up. I added around 20 new clients in the span of a week. My career path completely shifted. In the last two years, my career has consisted of in-person clients, online programming, and social media brand deals. My hope is that over the next few years, I’ll be able to establish myself as a leader in the health and wellness space and continue to positively impact other’s lives.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Not at all. I’ve been fired from job, had less than 2,000 dollars in my bank account in the most expensive city in the world, and had several identity crisis situations. All part of the journey though. It’s probably tough to appreciate the highs without embracing the lows.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am a certified personal trainer and online coach located in NYC. I specialize in helping people lift heavy, run fast, and look good naked. I’m most proud of moving to NYC and starting a 6 figure business from scratch. I like to lead from the front and I believe that’s what helps my clients resonate with me. I’d like to think that I’m certainly unique in my own ways without necessarily being better than anyone else.

What quality or characteristic do you feel is most important to your success?
Empathy and ambition. When mixed together the two have been very beneficial in my personal and professional journey.
