EP#11 Trainer Spotlight Series: Meet Eric Wylie

We get to know Eric Wylie in this Trainer spotlight episode of FITLETE Radio.GEORGE: Introduce yourself and tell us a little about what you do and your background.My name is Eric Wiley, and I run Lakeside Health Coaching. I'm in Lakewood, Washington, which is a suburb of Tacoma. If you don't know anything about Washington, that's also a suburb of Seattle. So kind of point of reference, I'm about an hour south of Seattle. Now, as a trainer, I haven't been in this industry my entire career. I'm in my late 50s now. Prior to being in the fitness industry, I spent 25 years in the IT industry. My undergraduate is in management information systems. After spending 25 years there, I've jumped around careers a little bit. I worked in a guitar custom shop for almost 10 years. That was a nice diversion. But I got myself in shape during that time and decided I need to start over. Being in the IT industry, I see a lot of my fellow peers struggling with their health as well. So I started over as a trainer. I ultimately progressed over the last 12 years into my own business. Primarily, I work with business owners, business operators, founders. Most of them are retired or semi-retired now. And they come to me because they understand that I know what they've come through. And with that, it's really more a case of keep me ready to do anything. They've generally retired or they're retiring. They want to be able to go skiing, go hiking, go do whatever. They've worked really hard on their business in the past. And now it's time for them to work hard on themselves. That's where I come in. I did go back to school as well, and I got a master's in kinesiology. Part-time, I teach at the local university in the kinesiology department, teaching health sciences. That gives me a great connection with younger generations as well, so that I can always put into practice things I'm working with with older adults also work with younger adults. I enjoy working with the young and old. This is pretty cool stuff....(Visit https://thisweek.fitletes.com/ for full show notes)Want more Eric Wylie in your life?
