Growing up in a family of athletes, Erica’s dedication to health and fitness developed at a very young age. She began her journey running track and riding horses competitively all through her teenage years. She then moved to Santa Cruz and turned this competitive drive into endurance racing. After several years of competing in endurance athletics, she discovered CrossFit and weight training. From then on she was hooked, competing in CrossFit, powerlifting, Strongman, and bodybuilding. She has embraced every aspect of competitive fitness. “I know first-hand the discipline that it takes to adopt healthy habits and to make exercise an essential part of your daily life. In addition to being a trainer, I am also a nurse. My understanding of the human body and the effects of aging and injury have only deepened my passion for sharing my love of health and fitness with others.”
