What does it look like to build success without burning yourself out in the process?

In this episode of She Built Success, Claudia sits down with Ariel Belgrave—founder of Gym Hooky—for a real conversation about career pivots, wellness, and building a business that actually fits your life.

Ariel shares how climbing the corporate ladder led to burnout, why she started Gym Hooky as a side hustle for five years, and how a community built around skipping the gym and working out at home grew alongside her full-time career in HR and tech.

Ariel also shares what’s next—including her upcoming climb of Mount Kilimanjaro—and how fulfillment now drives every decision she makes.

Season 4 is about The Build Continues—and this episode reminds us that how you build matters just as much as what you build.

🎧 Listen in if you’re navigating a pivot, rethinking success, or learning how to build sustainably.
