Eric Bigger, known for his appearances on ABC’s “The Bachelorette” and “Bachelor in Paradise,” is taking a deeper look at fitness, fame and personal growth in his new book, “Spiritual Fitness: The Eric Bigger Method.”
Released Aug. 8, the book goes beyond the traditional celebrity memoir, chronicling Bigger’s journey from Baltimore to reality television and his search for a greater sense of purpose after finding success in the public eye.
Millions of viewers first met Bigger on “The Bachelorette,” where his personality and upbeat attitude made him a fan favorite. But behind the television appearances and growing recognition, Bigger said he was confronting heartbreak, burnout and a loss of identity.
Those experiences ultimately influenced his approach to wellness, which he calls “Spiritual Fitness.”
The method combines physical movement, breathwork, mindset and intentional living, with the goal of addressing more than physical health. Bigger argues that fitness should also help people develop mental resilience, confidence and a stronger sense of purpose.
His philosophy reflects a broader shift in the wellness industry toward treating physical fitness as one part of overall well-being rather than the sole measure of health.
Bigger now works with executives, entrepreneurs, athletes and others, helping them incorporate elements of his approach into their daily lives.
In “Spiritual Fitness,” he shares personal stories about growing up in Baltimore, navigating public life and discovering that professional and personal success do not necessarily guarantee happiness.
The book also offers practical tools intended to help readers examine their habits, mindset and relationship with success.
One of Bigger’s central messages is that physical strength and emotional resilience can develop together. Movement, breathing exercises and recovery are incorporated into his approach alongside reflection and intentional living.
He also addresses vulnerability, particularly among men who may struggle to discuss emotional challenges while pursuing professional or personal success.
Bigger’s media appearances have included “Good Morning America,” People, Us Weekly, Bustle, “Extra” and “Access Hollywood,” among others.
His new book arrives at a time when conversations around mental health, purpose and holistic wellness are increasingly becoming part of mainstream fitness culture.
Rather than focusing exclusively on appearance or physical performance, Bigger encourages readers to consider why they are pursuing health and what they want their lives to look like beyond the gym.
Through his own transition from reality television personality to fitness coach and author, Bigger presents “Spiritual Fitness” as both a personal account and a framework for people seeking greater balance.
The book ultimately challenges the idea that looking healthy and being healthy are the same thing, arguing that lasting transformation begins with the mind and extends to the body, spirit and everyday choices.
