How Strength Wise Barbell helps clients get stronger, one lift at a time

CHICAGO -- Chris Van Nostrand first founded his company Strength Wise Barbell as a way to bring together two of the things he was most passionate about in life: weightlifting and helping people.

"I was inspired to start this business because it kind of brought together two different threads in my life. One was a passion for weightlifting and the other was a passion for coaching and mentoring," he explained.

At the core of his business is an ability to form meaningful connections with his clients. By forming authentic relationships, Van Nostrand has been able to uncover what motivational methods or communication styles will help each individual client reach their goals.

"The best part of being a small business owner is the opportunity to build really genuine relationships with my clients," Van Nostrand said.

While Strength Wise Barbell began as just an online coaching program, it has since expanded to include in-person training, too.

Throughout the growth of his brand, Van Nostrand said that Hiscox Business Insurance has been supportive the whole way.

"Hiscox Business Insurance has been incredibly flexible, responsive and adaptable to my needs," he said.

"So not only have they grown with me, they've always been available to answer questions about what level of protection do I need, what kind of insurance do I need, as I went from doing small, individual groups to larger groups, they've always been there to answer my questions."

By not having to worry about his insurance coverage, Van Nostrand has been able to focus on what matters most: helping his clients get stronger, both mentally and physically, one lift at a time.
