Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Lindsay Marks. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Lindsay, so glad you were able to set aside some time for us today. We’ve always admired not just your journey and success, but also the seemingly high levels of self-discipline that you seem to have mastered and so maybe we can start by chatting about how you developed it or where it comes from?
Simply put; nothing feels like feeling good. And that is how FUELGOOD was born. Years ago I was faced with severe gut issues due to a high-stressed-highly-micromanaged job. Through the course of doctor visits, google visits and more with no answers, it wasn’t until finding a holistic nutritionist and getting the answers I needed. My journey to heal with proper nutrition flourished. I knew change had to happen in multiple way! Not only did my journey to heal with proper nutrition flourish but I took the leap of faith and quit the job that I knew was not serving me. I changed careers and dove head first into fitness, kept up with my positive nutrition habits and change happened almost immediately. I no longer had gut issues and my body composition was morphing into what I had never experienced before. I was setting goals and achieving them all while feeling my best self. I never want to go backwards, so knowing where I came from, seeing a transition in my body and loving my body keeps me not only disciplined and motivated but wanting to instill this notion within others to transform their relationship with fitness and being properly nourished. I FEEL FANTASTIC! I receive compliments everywhere I go so it just goes to show that all of the hard work I put in is worth it!
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
I have been a fitness coach for 11 years coaching multiple modalities including Orangetheory, Pilates, Functional Strength Training and Yoga Sculpt. I have coached thousands and have been able to witness an insane amount of success by others accomplishing goals never thought possible. I believe in people when they do not! I am true to my word in and and out of a workout setting and/or a client nutrition coaching session AND WILL ALWAYS strive to lead by example. Within these last 11 years I have taken it upon myself to educate, stay informed, stay up to date on all things fitness & nutrition along with the importance it carries as our society evolves. More than 2 years ago I became an ACE Certified Fitness Nutrition Specialist and have had the privilege of coaching over 100 individuals to fuel their best self. I have not only built a business; FUELGOOD but a brand by way of macro nutrition coaching and empowering others. There is simply nothing more rewarding than clients accomplishing goals and putting themselves first. It gives me pure joy to connect and create success. There are many avenues of hard work in life that we face but I believe there is almost nothing harder than seeking out a goal, committing to it and succeeding it personally and by body composition. I know I was put on this earth to inspire and give back. Coaching takes patience, understanding and not an all size fits one mindset. I am proud to be a leader here in San Diego, I have found my passion and I strive to continue to expand FUELGOOD.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Continuing education, leading by example and my energy. There is no cap on the amount of information and education we can tap into within our area of expertise. Never stop growing, never stop putting yourself out there and always stay true to you. I think it is so important to truly live and breath whatever product or service being sold. Believe in it so much that it becomes a part of you.
How would you spend the next decade if you somehow knew that it was your last?
I am my own boss and my one and only employee. It’s just me! I have so many ideas, thoughts and implementations on growing the FUELGOOD brand. No day is the same, there are highs and lows, days of imposter syndrome and days of wonderful opportunities I did not expect. I want more, I want it now and I want to implement ALL of my ideas at once but unfortunately I know that is not how this venture works. I think the biggest challenge of all is patience with getting out of my comfort zone to put my business out there. I want to capture so many different audiences and industries but I know this takes time, money and so much energy. I have a hustle mentality and have already put in so much hard work, but I know it will always be hard work but the reward is worth it all.
