Today we’d like to introduce you to Eric Rivera.
Eric, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
Growing up as a child in Dallas Texas, I’ve always been a very active individual. I played sports basically all my life at the amateur level and also overseas. My path to becoming a Personal Trainer was definitely not something I would have imagine especially due to my pervious employment position. I use to be a Business Analyst for a major company in Plano Texas for over 2 years and loved the analytics of how you have to use your brain in order to make sure everything was in order. I always have been a physically fit individual with the desire to always improve myself and others regardless of things I have going on in my life. So, during my lunch breaks, I use to go to the gym to get a good workout and people would come up to me and ask questions about exercises I was doing or why I would work out a particular way. I enjoyed being able to explain the different exercises to these individuals and have them understand WHY technique and building a proper foundation during their fitness routine is KEY to their success.
So, with that said… I believe in focusing on helping people adapt to a more fit and healthy lifestyle physically and mentally, by providing personalized workouts and nutritional plans specifically tailored to fit each of our client’s specific needs, budget and most of all, their overall goals.
And how I got to where I am today is due to hard work every day and making sure all clients understand that I am there for them physically but mentally as well. Another thing that helped my business grow is that I pride myself on being DFW’s Most Affordable Traveling Personal Trainer. Training should NOT cost an arm and a leg to get started.
Has it been a smooth road?
Starting your own business is always a tough task for the fact you have to have contacts or potential clients lined up to get your business name out there. I always pride myself as being a very determined person that will walk the end of the earth to make it lol. Hard work is not that hard if you do things the right way. Also, potential clients are unsure of Personal Trainers because they may have had very bad experiences, heard that trainers are not out here to help you or trainer did not value the client’s overall goals. The stereotypes are well-known, and I’m going to go ahead and say that it’s definitely not a joke. When I train or teach someone, I let them know that I am responsible for keeping them safe during their workout and I structure their workouts that will have a dramatic positive effect on the future of their fitness. Also, if I do not do my job as their trainer, I could mentally turn someone off from ever getting on a treadmill again or build fear of lifting weights in the weight room. This is something I do not play around with because every client is my responsibility and I have to be 100% engaged and consistently teach the fundamentals so my clients will not become injured. And by me being honest and upfront with each client I have built a great mobile business with amazing clients that trust me and what I have to bring to the table.
We’d love to hear more about your business.

Is our city a good place to do what you do?
I do feel Dallas is great place to create a business because there is plenty of opportunity to show people what you have to offer. I have seen so many businesses fail to soon because they become discouraged that their business hasn’t taken off quickly enough or do not know how to market their business the right way directed towards a basis. Patience and determination is all you need to build a successful business anywhere and Dallas is no different.
