Summary
Yes or yes? That’s a go-to saying from top trainer Charlee Atkins, CSCS, founder of Le Sweat TV. For episode 141, I’m chatting with the mega inspirational coach about her journey. A longtime Soul Cycle favorite, Atkins talks about how she got to the podium and became a master instructor, and the huge impact that founders Julie Rice and Elizabeth Cutler had on her and her career. She also tells me about going out on her own, expanding on the intense work that goes into building your own brand and a fitness content platform. Plus: What’s next for Le Sweat, how Le Sweat got its name, why a little healthy competition can be a total game-changer, and the mantras she uses when shit gets hard, including “Success is on the other side of failure.”
