Meet Matthew Holmes of B-Fit Lifestyle LLC

Today we’d like to introduce you to Matthew Holmes.

Hi Matthew, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I’ve always loved the water. Ever since I was a little boy. My dad was in the Navy and he showed me and my brother and sister how to swim the old school method. (By throwing me in the deep end when I was three.) I don’t remember how that went but I obviously didn’t drown. Ironically I would later in life teach my mother how to swim one summer, the regular way. With repetition and practice. I was about fourteen then, and that summer I had taught all of my friends and some of their family members how to swim too. Even after all that, it never rained on me that I could do this for a living. In fact it would be twenty one years later of dead end jobs, missed opportunities, and useless certifications before the pool came calling me again. I started helping a family with swim lessons for their scared child, and I still remember that first lesson, and how nervous I was because I had given dozens of lessons before but never to someone so little. And God bless him he tried his heart out that summer, and although I was discouraged because he didn’t pick up swimming as quick as I hoped. A lightbulb went off for me that day, and I realized I can do this for a serious living. That’s when B-Fit Swim School was born. And now hundreds of satisfied families later, I find myself still thinking about that first lesson. Even more so when I went viral from an 11month baby falling into the pool and saving himself after a summer with me. I think , no, I know. This is what I was meant to be doing. And I love every second of it. The good and the bad.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Like all things it comes with its ups and downs. But mostly ups. And I have big plans on going higher.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about B-Fit Lifestyle LLC ?
B-fit is a lot of things. A Swim School, A fitness and nutrition business. But, what it is at its core, what it represents. Is not only fitness of the body, but fitness of the mind, and the spirt.

I specialize in swim coaching, and spiritual guidance, but I’m known for many things, I’m a bit of an artist at heart. Artist gone businessman well sort of.

What sets us apart from the other fitness companies and swim school is that we really care about our clients and are not just pushing a workout package or mushrooms and supplements. We care about your child’s safety in water, and we care about you.

I want readers to know that B-Fit is a brand that’s here to stay and get used to hearing the name because they’ll be hearing a lot of it. And if you want your love one to learn how to swim the right way, we’re the only choice that makes sense.

What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned along your journey?
Patience
