Meet Tim Geromini

We recently connected with Tim Geromini and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, so we’re so thrilled to have Tim with us today – welcome and maybe we can jump right into it with a question about one of your qualities that we most admire. How did you develop your work ethic? Where do you think you get it from?

I feel like most of us learn by example when we’re younger having a role model, some sort of adult figure in our life that teaches us. I was really lucky as a kid having both of my parents and grandparents be really present in my life. My parents worked hard to give my sister and I everything they could. I remember my dad getting a second job at one point, I didn’t understand at the time that it was because we needed the money but eventually I figured it out. He would be up at 4:30am and out the door for his first job, come home around 2 and shower so he could go to his second job and be home around 8 or 9pm. My mother started a side business too; seeing that growing up, it’s hard not to feel like that is just what you’re supposed to do for your family. Whatever it takes to make sure we have food and a roof over our heads.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

I’ve been coaching for almost 15 years in the fitness and nutrition industry. After directing a sports performance facility in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida for 7 years, I moved into the online space starting my own coaching business. I believe in authentic personal connection and working 1:1 with clients to help them achieve whatever goal they have set out for themselves.

What is unique about my approach and my business is that it’s not cookie cutter. Everything is customized for them. I chat daily with clients in my coaching app, have educational material for them to learn, and will have check in calls with them over zoom on a consistent cadence so we can really hone in on what is working well and what we need to adjust. I honestly feel connected with what is going on in their lives because its not just about workouts and food. If you’re going to improve your relationship with food and exercise, improve your body, you need to improve your lifestyle and your mindset.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

I would say adaptability, empathy, and assertiveness. You need to be able to adapt whether that’s as a coach or business owner to what is going on around you and what people may need at a given time. Empathy is really important to be successful, to really coach someone you need to listen and understand them. The things they tell you is information for you to better coach them. And really, assertiveness comes down to decision making, being able to act on something you know makes sense and is right for clients and right for you.

Looking back over the past 12 months or so, what do you think has been your biggest area of improvement or growth?

I would say continuing to learn to be a business owner. I spent so much time learning and working on being a coach; when I started my business I didn’t know enough about how to actually run one. Understanding how to market, how to run a social media account, etc. That has been the biggest learning curve. I know my clients get the best care from me, they get results, and they’re happy. But marketing it in an effective way where a new person seeing my page can tell I’m a real authentic person with a legitimate business took me time to learn.
