Shamika Rucker, Founder & CEO of The Wellness Company, LLC
After fifteen years in Corporate America Shamika decided to retire and open her own business, The Wellness Company, LLC, a fitness, health and wellness lifestyle brand that promotes alternatives too Walgreens and CVS. At The Wellness Company we feel it is imperative for all of us to be exposed to opportunities that alleviate negative influences from career, food choices, and living a sedentary lifestyle. Phase one of brand development has been focused on building a clientele of working or semi-retired professionals that are ready to transform themselves physically through personal training and nutrition counseling. Phase two, on launching an activewear and wellness product line. Beyond phase two is a desire to create opportunities that fund innovation within the wellness industry, an industry where its online/virtual fitness market size valued at $6M in 2019, is projected to reach at $59M by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 33.1% from 2020 to 2027.
