We had the good fortune of connecting with Chris White and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Chris, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I always knew I would be an entrepreneur, so I just needed a little push to get there and I got it when I was working for Fitness Connection. I noticed the way they did things and I was not a fan. I didn’t want my clients to feel like just a number. I wanted more of a personal touch to my company and really take care of my clients not only with workouts, but nutrition.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I think the thing that separates my business form others is the personal aspect of it all. Most members who join my company end up being extended family. One of the most highlighted parts of my business is my meal prepping company Macromeals. The food is designed to help those interested in general weight loss. There are not many people that are the trainer nutritionist and chef. I am able to advise people on so many different level and the value of that is evident because I have been running my operation going on 9 years now. There has been so many ups and down and entrepreneurship is not for everyone. You must learn to separate your personal feelings from the business. If you cannot do this you will have an even tougher time overcoming the woes of running a business. I want the world to know that I am a natural motivator and inspiration to people who need help with consistency and discipline. “Get fit with Chris!”

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
When my friends come to town the most exciting thing for us to do is eat at all the foodie spots in Houston. To name a few I am a big fan of The Breakfast Club, Taste Bar Kitchen, Tornado Burger, Killens BBQ, Hearsay, and of course Turkey Leg Hut. As far as after hour activities I love to go to Hookah lounges and bars to enjoy cocktails and cigars. Other than that enjoying each others company is most important.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to should out God. It may be cliche to most people but I cannot deny the amount of guidance I receive from the man above. Everything is part of his plan and his plan is always going to be greater than ours. If it wasn’t for some Godly forces happening to me I would never be where I am today. With that said I also want to should out my family. My wife and kids are my inner motivation to makes something of myself that they can not only be happy with but benefit from as well.
