The Chloe Condition: How She Built her Fitness Empire from Zero

About this episode

Chloe shares her journey from feeling unfulfilled in a corporate job to building a successful fitness empire during the pandemic.

Chloe is from Myanmar. In 2013 she graduated, got a corporate job, and felt completely unfulfilled despite doing everything right. She found fitness that year, started sharing free health and wellness content online for women like her, and people began asking her to coach them. She never intended to build a business. Then COVID hit, and 3,000 to 4,000 people signed up to her first fitness challenge overnight. She called her mum the next morning not knowing what had just happened. The community she has built since — tens of thousands of women, going seven years strong — is what she calls her greatest achievement. This conversation covers the real timeline, the free work you have to do before anyone pays you, why feeling unfulfilled despite a good job is not a you problem, and what it actually looks like to build something people never want to leave.
