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

Hi Angela, can you talk to us a bit about the social impact of your business?
In my business, I primarily help women conquer their pull-up. A goal that SOO many have but they were told their entire life that it was “impossible” or that they weren’t strong enough! So when a women gets the curious to say … you know what ! I want to try and finally conquer a pull-up, it a BIG deal! From the hundreds of women I work with, this process is a tough one BUT they always come out of the otherside more confident, learning more about themselves and their body PLUS this impossible goal of getting a pull-up translates into OTHER aspects of their life. They start to try more things, show-up for themselves more, and the possibilities become endless

What should our readers know about your business?
This journey to creating a successful online fitness program has not been easy! I started off owning a gym with no idea what I was doing in Cranston Rhode Island… I soon realized quickly that this is not what I wanted to be doing, got myself in tons of debt. Decided to get rid of the gym and start from scratch online. And this was when online wasn’t “cool” yet! I took a few online business courses and slowly started getting some 1:1 Clients. Some programs I launched were total fails because “thought” I knew what my audience wanted but I never asked them! Soon I started to see what was REALLY clicking for them… which was pull-ups! Slowly started to evolve this into my signature program! NOW when they join to to a pull-up something specific they stay in the echo-system and are excited to do other programs and be a part of the community!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Since I live in austin! I would take them paddle boarding, wake surfing, I love going on the water! Then we would eat some great food at ATX Cocina!
