Meet Sekou Kone | Fitness Trainer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Sekou Kone and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sekou, how has your background shaped the person you are today?
As a child, I had a difficult upbringing, which made me question everything about my existence. in the search of self-identity and belonging, I discover Martial Arts. At 14, I started training in Taekwondo in earnest. Fitness and exercise became my greatest passions in life. It thought me patience, empathy, endurance, positive attitude and self-control. I dealt with my childhood trauma and later life challenges by breaking a sweat and working out my body, and before I’m halfway through, I feel a huge sense of accomplishment, calmness and JOY. Teaching, of course, is also near and dear to my heart, which makes the work that I do as a coach and trainer a confluence of my great loves. I enjoy every moment that I spend passing on Taekwondo, boxing, and kickboxing techniques. When you train with THETAEKGUY, you know that you are getting a full-package, well-rounded program that includes workouts, techniques, healthy diet/eating habits and mental conditioning. I always tell my clients that, we must take care of ourselves from the inside out, which is why we focus on positive encouragement, our body listens to our mind and heart.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?

The biggest accomplishment as business owner is always bettering myself to provide the highest level of service to my clients. It’s an ongoing process therefore you never accomplish it to the fullest, there’s always room for growth. One of biggest accomplishment for any entrepreneur in my opinion, is when you see a positive impact of your services on your clients. That is why we always have our clients’ interests at heart; doing everything in our power and beyond to ensure that their needs are met.

The hardest part of being an entrepreneur for me is the fear of not following through on our promise to meet each of our clients’ needs. To be honest, my passion for my work sometimes takes over the needs to pay the bills :). I’ve been working hard to find a healthy balance.

I care about every single one of my trainees as family members. I’ll always be here to listen, no matter what’s going on in your life. It’s an honor to be a part of your journey, and I want you to feel supported in every way.

I put in a lot of hours and a lot of effort into staying sharp and staying fit. There is nothing quite like the feeling that I get when I have completed a rigorous workout session. I want you to experience that feeling for yourself – and come to appreciate it just as much as I do. Your fittest and best self is just around the corner, waiting for you to show up. Let me show you the way!
