Taryn Watson: How Taryn turned FitRight around and went from declaring a loss (post-covid) to now thriving with a new improved business model and working less than 25 hours a week
In this insightful episode of Biz Secrets Exposed, Fusion Biz Co. Founder Ashley Matkovic dives into the inspiring story of Taryn Watson, a Women's Health Physiotherapist and the resilient mind behind FitRight.
Taryn opens up about her remarkable journey from declaring a loss post-COVID to successfully turning FitRight around with a new and improved business model, all while working less than 25 hours a week.
Show Highlights:
Taryn takes us behind the scenes of FitRight's evolution, sharing candidly about her initial success and subsequent financial challenges in her first business. Despite outward appearances with appearances on Sunrise and Mamma Mia, she faced setbacks, leading her to reevaluate and restructure FitRight into a more sustainable and profitable venture.
Learn from Taryn's experiences as she discusses the pivotal moments in her business journey. With vulnerability, she reflects on the valuable lessons she gained from her first business, her IVF journey, and the adaptation required during the pandemic. Taryn provides insights into the decisions that led her to pivot her business into FitRight HQ, a multidisciplinary Women's Health Clinic.
Discover how Taryn, now with a business partner and enhanced administrative support, has revamped FitRight and found her feet as a business owner.
Taryn candidly shares the highs and lows of business ownership, highlighting the flexibility, challenges, and rewards that come with it. Acknowledging the tears, stress, and heartache, she emphasises the resilience required to navigate the entrepreneurial path.
Taryn Watson is a Women's Health Physiotherapist (AKA a Vagina Physio!) who has worked in private practice in Perth and London for 15 years, niching down into the area of pre and postnatal exercise, and 'pelvic floor friendly' exercise for women of all ages.
From very early in her career, she realised that she had an entrepreneurial streak and nearly 10 years ago she created the business 'FitRight' and created a Pregnancy Exercise DVD. This quickly morphed into FitRight branded pregnancy and postnatal pilates classes, and then a training program to train other physiotherapists around Perth to become FitRight instructors, and within the next 3-4 years there were FitRight branded exercise classes all over Perth, from Currambine to Mandurah to Armadale to Cottesloe.
Throw in an IVF journey, two children and a pandemic, and Taryn's business journey has been quite a rollercoaster of adapting and surviving along the way! In 2021 and 2022, Taryn had to make some big decisions and ended up starting a second business, FitRight HQ, a multidisciplinary Women's Health Clinic, and scaling back and merging the original exercise class business into this. Now, with a business partner, much improved systems, and more extensive administrative support, Taryn finally feels like she's found her feet in business.
Taryn loves the flexibility, challenges and rewards that come with business ownership, but acknowledges that there have been way more tears, stress and heartache than if she worked as an employee for someone else!

So, she went all in on her own damn life and quit her 20-year corporate career, sold her house, and hit the road full-time in a caravan, traveling solo around Australia.
Now she is passionate about helping business and career women just like you, cultivate a better work-life balance and chase your big AF dreams in life and biz!
