Empowered Entrepreneur Podcast: Tricia Murphy Madden

Can failure propel you to a bigger, better opportunity?

By Pete McCall, MS on Mar 27, 2019

Like many other fitness professionals, Tricia Murphy Madden has experienced both failure and success. On this episode of Empowered Entrepreneur, Madden, the director of education for Savvier Fitness and co-creator of Barre Above^®, shares the lessons she has learned from her failure and how that experience helped her find success in other areas of the fitness industry.

A lot of planning goes into creating a stellar group fitness experience. Madden talks about how a lack of success in one business led to her finding her niche as a program developer and education manager. What gives a fitness facility an immediate sense of success? How does a fitness instructor improve? What are the contributing factors that gauge professionalism in group exercise?

Exercise is all about having the energy and vitality to do what you want to do when you want to do it. Whether you want to compete in a Tough Mudder-type obstacle course race or play with your kids (or grandkids) exercise can help you enjoy your life to the fullest and my role as a personal trainer is to help you achieve that potential. For the past number of years I've been an educator working for the largest personal training certification (the American Council on Exercise) where I helped create a wide variety of education to support how fitness professionals work with their clients. I've had the opportunity to teach workshops to personal trainers around the world and have been quoted in numerous publications (NY Times, LA Times, Washington Post, Shape, SELF, etc...) but the bottom line is that I enjoy helping people change their lives and achieve their maximum potential through exercise.
