EFR 508: Creating a Foundation of Healthy Habits for Long-Term Wellness with Eric Champ

"It all begins with creating a foundation of healthy habits which can lead to long-term wellness." Eric Champ is a Marine Corps veteran who currently owns and operates Champ City Holistic Fitness and a 14-by-7 mobile gym. He is living his passion, but it didn't come overnight. In fact, there was a point in his life when Eric didn't even know if he would live to see the day he turned 40 years old. While in the Marine Corps, holistic health and wellness was the last thing on Eric's list of priorities. He partied almost every night, loved his drink, and eventually ballooned up to over 250 pounds. He knew deep inside that something was horribly wrong with his lifestyle, but he never could never admit it just because he was too afraid to face himself. But the day inevitably came when Eric had to come to terms with what was happening, when he had to engage in "that showdown with myself". He made a fateful decision, while gazing at his deteriorating body in front of the mirror, that he would turn his life around. That decision, coupled with his wife Katie's determination to keep him accountable, drove Eric to keep his eyes firmly rooted on his new path. The next morning, Eric grabbed his shorts, headed to the YMCA down the road, and walked a mile on the treadmill. And so began a journey that would later inspire him to launch a fitness platform that would quickly grow into a thriving worldwide business.
