E170 - Courtney Black: The Story I Haven't Told About My Fitness Empire

Courtney Black is a fitness influencer, Sunday Times best selling author and the owner of one of the most successful UK fitness apps, ‘Courtney Black Fitness’. Courtney believes that high performance is 'being successful at something that you are truly authentic with', a motto she has employed in the building of her fitness empire. In this episode, Courtney shares how she scaled her business, utilising her social media following to grow her brand and having to change direction due to the pandemic. She highlights the importance of self development, finding purpose and making difficult decisions in business.

Courtney also discusses the eating disorder that she developed as a teenager. She offers insight into how her eating disorder overwhelmed her life, opening up about her lack of self-confidence and the changes in her personality. She encourages us to challenge our own beauty standards, and shares that exercise shouldn't just be about looking good - it should be about feeling good!
