Today we’d like to introduce you to Justin Mihaly.
Hi Justin, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for sharing your story with us – to start, maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers.
Coming from a small town in Ohio, I had the lure of a big city lifestyle where I could express myself and my passions; when I came to Austin in 2018, I realized I never wanted to leave, so I didn’t. My girlfriend and I signed short-term living leases at the time, and we instantly watched our business blossom in an environment that was more challenging than what Ohio was providing us. In 2014, I started my online fitness coaching company, TogetherMore Fit, and while a more significant part of my professional accolades has been within the bodybuilding industry, we work with more than 400 athletes worldwide, most of whom are budding professionals who want us to take the stress of their physical fitness off of their hands yet also many people who are wanting to reach their peak physical fitness. It’s an honor to have had so many people trust us over the 10 years we have serviced others. Still, we are always looking to the next level of impact and innovation to make this world a healthier place physically, mentally, and within our relationships with ourselves.
We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I have often questioned, “Is this worth it?” as the road less traveled gets lonely. It gets isolated from people who don’t quite understand you. But every time you go through a lonely chapter, at least for me, I have come out far more equipped as a leader and a coach and more aligned with my overarching purpose of serving others and uplifting my community. Everything about this process has been “hard,” but to me – it would be harder to live a life I didn’t feel fulfilled in, so I wouldn’t trade the struggles for anything. Embracing struggle is where I find happiness.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
The slogan “changing lives, not just physiques” was brought to us in 2022 by a client who had been working with TM for under three years. When I first read this in our chat, it struck deep inside my soul that I realized that is what the aim of my impact is, his bins, and starting TogetherMore Fitness in 2014. The reality is that most gems, supplement lines, and trainers want to see if this exchange can post excellent marketing photos to attract more clients and grow their brand from there. We go many layers deeper as we explore every facet of fitness, including an athlete’s mental and emotional well-being, as we cater our approach directly to the individual. This is why my staff and I enforce roster caps: to ensure that every person who comes in has the highest level of service and accountability from us and can thrive in this culture. Our culture is togetherness, community, and reaching new heights with physical fitness as a pillar of our growth. We believe if you challenge yourself in the gym every day, it indeed can be the most challenging part of your day, enforcing resiliency and adversity with the work put forth, which will manifest in all other components of your life – making a better equipped you to conquer all of your pursuits.
Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
There will be days that it all sucks. Everything does. Relationships end, happiness is scarce, and tomorrow seems bleak. Your mind is a master of tricking you into seeing and believing the worst. I hope you understand that you are loved and matter if you read this post. And the world is better because of you. Not in a woo-woo, but be optimistic. It’s a better experience to be in this world with you. It’s okay to feel sad, mad, angry, and hurt because, without those emotions, we can’t appreciate happiness, abundance, love, and joy. Remember that!
