Inspiring and determined to say the least. Those are the words quite often used to describe local entrepreneur and fitness coach Felicia Romero. Born and raised in Gilbert, Romero is dedicated to helping others in Arizona become the best they can be. “I am a fitness entrepreneur, podcast host, speaker, and mentor to other fitness coaches,” shares Romero.
After receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and a Masters in Exercise and Wellness from Arizona State University, Romero was focused on not only helping people become healthier physically but building healthy and sustainable businesses themselves. “I mentor entrepreneurs and fitness coaches helping them build their brand and business online through her new program The Wealthy Wellness Coach and Host of the ‘Hi Felicia Podcast.’”
Romero is an eight-time fitness cover model for top rated magazines including Oxygen Magazine, Muscle, and Fitness Hers. She has also had stints on several reality TV programs, local and national TV spots and most recently was featured on the Lifetime show “Fit to Fat to Fit,” where she had to gain and lose weight during the show. Her podcast, Hi Felicia, has more than 325 episodes and six-hundred thousand downloads
For Romero, it has been a labor of love focusing on the health and wellness of others over the course of her career. “I opened my first gym in my early twenties and opened up 3 gyms over the course of 12 years in Gilbert, selling my last gym in 2017,” shares Romero. “I pivoted my fitness business to the online space, and I started my podcast two years after that in 2019. I started the podcast with the sole purpose of educating people around wellness and diet culture.”
And that isn’t all, Romero also hosts a quarterly Masterminds for women in business, aimed at helping women step into their own greatness, learning new strategies to grow and prosper in their business goals. One of her favorite quotes to share with others on the journey is “Maybe you’re not being tested. Maybe you’re being given an opportunity to practice who you say you are.” And for Romero, that is really what it is all about, helping others become the best version of themselves.
