Having graduated as a physiotherapist back in 2017, I quickly set off to share my value with the world. It didn't take long to realise how difficult it was to find the right space from which I could give what I knew I could. Fast forward 18 months or so and I found just that. With a near empty bank account, a few tins of paint and many sleepless nights later, the 'Life Fit Studio' was created, A beautiful spacious studio in Co.Cork, Ireland with 2 treatment rooms, a large floor space for workshops and classes as well as a cosy social corner where people can share and connect with each other over a hot cup of tea. The design of the studio as well as the business model it operates under strives to create a space for wellness and growth, both for our customers as well as the many professionals out there with value to share.When I see someone walk in the door I see them holding a (metaphorical) toolbox. Once I know I have given them more tools than what they came with then I have added value to them on their own journey.It is with this same ethos that I have created 'The Life Fit Podcast'. On this podcast I hope to create a space from which all of the awesome people out there who have wisdom to share with the world can do exactly that.Thank You for taking the time to hear my story and I appreciate all the support you can give.Yours in health,Jack O'Halloran.
