Today we’d like to introduce you to Ana Alarcon.
Ana, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I’ve been blogging and teaching fitness classes for over two years now. Everything started after realizing that my last job wasn’t really what I wanted to do and I was looking for a way to be part of the fitness community, along the same time I started my Instagram account to share my routine and wellness tips.
At the time I really didn’t know much about blogging, but slowly started to take off until I decided to leave my job, took a leap of faith and became a fitness instructor while building my social media channels. Right now I do so much more than that, and I am still surprised how much has changed and how much I enjoy working for myself.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
OMG Definitely not. There have been so many struggles, from understanding how the industry works, the inconsistent income, to how to properly set up as a business, to learn to shoot, edit, and so on. However, it has been an incredible ride and I’m so happy I have done it!
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Ana Goes Fit – what should we know?
I’m a wellness blogger and fitness instructor. I write about new recipes, vegan tips, new workouts, my experience with certain products. I focus a lot on vegan fit living, anything from my current fitness routine to new vegan restaurants and foods.
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
The fact that I literally came to Boston not knowing anyone, and with no experience in wellness it is pretty impressive to me. I have built everything on my own, with very little money and have taught myself everything, from photography to editing, to taxes.
