Tracey Wakeen has over 30 years of experience as a personal trainer, fitness director and small business owner. As the long-time owner of a successful female fitness center in Mechanicsburg, she excels at leading teams and motivating them to accomplish goals.
Tracey founded the Go Big Small Biz Network as a response to the challenges and frustrations that she faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Being hit with multiple mandated shutdowns from the Governor, Tracey experienced first-hand the struggles that small businesses were up against throughout the pandemic. She kept her club doors open, instituting creative ways to provide a safe space for the members, but ultimately closed the doors in October of 2021.
She plans to use Go Big Small Biz Network to influence government policies and regulations in favor of small business, hold Pennsylvania’s administration accountable and work to create a positive environment for small businesses within the Commonwealth.
In her private time, she is passionate about exercise, the outdoors and especially skiing. She has been married to Jeff for 33 years and has three children and one grandchild.
