Thanks to a combination of social media, soaring health insurance costs, and affordable access to lifestyle tech devices, the health and fitness industry is booming. I mean seriously booming. Over the past decade in the U.S. alone, the $30 billion industry has grown by 3 - 4% every year, which might explain why you’re seeing signs for CrossFit gyms and açai bowls everywhere these days. 

You've probably heard that blogging can be incredibly beneficial for your business. But you also might be wondering how exactly blogging can help you grow the business. After all, it can be a total time suck and how can you ensure that anyone will want to even read it? Is this really something worth the time it takes? Well I'm here to tell you that blogging is definitely worth it. In fact, consider the following stats:
