We had the good fortune of connecting with Ant Woods and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ant, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I was very excited to start my own business as I appreciate the freedom and creativity involved with being an entrepreneur. Both of my parents had traditional jobs, So I’ve been blazing my own path so to speak. It’s been extremely fulfilling challenging, but I still the right choice for me.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I’m a health coach, but I have a psychology background. I graduated with a psychology degree and I’m always employing motivational interviewing and active learning while I’m communicating with my clients before during and after our training sessions, my ability to connect understand and relate to the many different thinking, and communicating styles has been extremely advantageous when it comes to training my clients. People come from all different types of experiences and perspectives, and my ability to relay and communicate with my community has been something that I value, and I feel the same.

Businesswise got to where I am today by understanding that I’m training a person and not a body. people have thoughts feelings and belief systems that lead them to where they are in in order to correct their behaviors. We first must understand what got them to the place they are today. I must say I’m extremely good at this.

Though it wasn’t easy, I have an affinity for cycle analysis and understanding humans behavior systems. It may sound complicated but it’s second nature to me.

Some of the lessons I’ve encountered was realizing that a lot of my clients didn’t understand that it was their own actions, their own behaviors, and their own belief systems that have led them to where they are in their health. Overcoming that was challenging at first until I understood the metbods that I needed to use with certain individuals in order to get my point across, but also to help understand their perspectives better.

The fitness industry is full of coaches and trainers, looking to capitalize off of the insecurities and inconsistencies of the population. My business is much much different, As I’m looking to encourage an uplift my clients by highlighting the strength that they have within them.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If my best friend was coming to stay for a week, we would start every single day with the morning workout to start off, releasing tons of endorphins and tons of good energy throughout the day.

Then we’d have breaks fast at LightHouse Cafe on the Newport peninsula.

After we’d go pick out some clothes for the evening at The Irvine Spectrum and have dinner a Javier’s after a day of visiting book stores and coffee shops.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
In my life, there have been many different influences and avenues of encouragement, but I must say that if I had to pick one, I would have to pick my younger brother Bryon, Who sparked the interest in me to become an entrepreneur develop my own business and my own legacy. Bryon was the first in my family to decide to create his own company and watching him do so inspired me to look inside myself and realize that I had the potential to create a path a legacy in a story of my own. My brother Bryon is a bit younger than me, but he’s been quite the leader and inspiration and so many ways in my life. Wavering encouragement is consistent support and is unconditional. Love have served to be extremely powerful in this process of mine.
