Exploring Life & Business with Eric White of WakeUp Fitness LLC

Today we’d like to introduce you to Eric White

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
My journey as a fitness enthusiast and personal trainer began in 2016. Up until that point, working out was just a hobby. However, it quickly became my passion as I found fulfillment in helping family and friends become better versions of themselves. This is where my journey truly began.

In the early stages of my career, I had to be creative and resourceful—discreetly training clients at franchise gyms, squeezing in sessions before and after my 9-to-5 job in recreation, and even building my own gym at home to train clients.

In 2018, I was presented with an opportunity to take my career to the next level by becoming an independent contractor in a professional setting. This gave me the freedom to grow my business and build a solid social media presence.

One year later, I decided to bet on myself and take the leap into full-time entrepreneurship as a personal trainer. Now, I’m proud to celebrate five years as a full-time entrepreneur, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the journey.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Nothing worth having comes easy. I have faced many obstacles, each of which has helped me learn and grow.

In the early stages of my career, I struggled with finding a place to train my clients. I battled self-doubt, which at times led me to ignore my faith and intuition. Balancing a full-time job with my passion was another challenge I had to overcome.

As an entrepreneur—especially as a personal trainer—obstacles are inevitable. Finding ideal clients, effectively educating them, and building a strong brand all require continuous effort. But through it all, I strive to learn, adapt, and grow with every challenge that comes my way.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
I specialize in helping clients achieve their weight loss goals by becoming efficient and sustainable fat burners. My approach is centered on meeting clients where they are—both physically and figuratively.

Through effective education, motivation, and accountability, I empower clients to reach new levels in their health and fitness journey. I’m known for my clients’ transformations, but what truly sets me apart is my ability to connect with them and make complex information relatable. I believe that the more relatable the information, the easier it is for individuals to understand and apply it. Starting a fitness journey can be challenging, and I want to make it as convenient as possible for my clients.

My expertise isn’t confined to just my physical work location. If you’re ready to start your health and fitness journey but aren’t quite comfortable in a gym setting, I offer online and virtual coaching with live interaction to help you get started successfully.

I want you to reflect on this quote: “Day 1 or One day…” The WakeUp brand is for anyone ready to take action and start their Day 1 today!

How do you think about happiness?
Personally, I’m a simple man. My happiness comes from being surrounded by the people I cherish most—my family, significant other, close friends, and my dog.

Professionally, my greatest joy comes from watching my clients transform into the individuals they once dreamed of becoming. Whether it’s a client losing 100 pounds, a mother bouncing back after childbirth, or a senior feeling stronger and moving with ease, the joy and confidence that radiate from them are truly unmatched.
