Eric Cunningham

Eric Cunningham brings a deep-rooted passion for **health, wellness, and leadership** to his role at ThrIVe Wheeling. A lifelong resident of the Wheeling area, Eric is a proud graduate of John Marshall High School (class of 1992). He went on to earn his Bachelor’s degree in Business with a focus on Sports Management from West Liberty University, followed by a Master’s in Organizational Leadership—credentials that perfectly blend his love for athletics with his dedication to guiding and empowering others.

His professional journey began with a strong foundation in **healthcare administration**, later expanding into healthcare and respiratory sales. In January 2022, Eric joined ThrIVe Wheeling, transitioning fully into the wellness industry to follow his true calling: helping people—athletes and everyday individuals alike—optimize their recovery, performance, and overall well-being.

A dedicated sports enthusiast, Eric has been involved in athletics as both a player and coach throughout his life. Right out of college, he served as Assistant Hockey Director at Neville Island (now RMU Ice Arena) for about two years, where he nurtured young talent and built team spirit. That same passion for physical performance continues to drive him today, informing his work with clients at ThrIVe.

At ThrIVe Wheeling, Eric is committed to delivering top-tier, cutting-edge services that promote **body recovery** and rejuvenation for everyone—not just elite athletes, but anyone ready to feel stronger, more energized, and renewed. He thrives on interacting with clients, witnessing their progress, and helping them embark on a path to better health. As he puts it: “I love interacting with the clients, seeing their improvements, and getting them on the path to wellness.”

Eric is especially enthusiastic about several standout services, including the **Cryo chamber and Infrared Sauna combo** (where the invigorating cold of cryotherapy reduces inflammation and boosts energy, followed by the sauna’s deep relaxation and muscle recovery), All-Core 360 (for comprehensive core strengthening), Whole Body Cryo, and NormaTec compression (particularly for hips).

Outside of work, Eric’s life revolves around family and community. He has been happily married to his high school sweetheart, Jamie—his partner in crime—for 26 years. Together, they are proud parents to three wonderful children: their oldest daughter, now a freshman at Marshall University; their youngest daughter, a junior in high school; and their son, an eighth-grader in middle school.

Eric lives by the motto: **”You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take!”** He’s all about encouraging people to take that leap—whether it’s trying a new wellness treatment, pushing their limits, or investing in their health. With his background, experience, and genuine enthusiasm, Eric is a valued part of the ThrIVe team, dedicated to helping everyone in our community reach their best selves and truly thrive.
