    by Erika Nicole Kendall June 26, 2018

Hi, I'm Erika, here to introduce myself and remind you to wear your mask!

Lovingly known as Evil Fitness Barbie or The Fitness Fairy Godmother, I'm a wife and mother of two who has gone from couch potato to NASM-certified trainer, with specialties in weight loss, women's fitness, and nutrition.

Oh, and I also lost 170lbs on my own through diet and exercise. Read more about that here.

Just so you know, I'm in the process of writing a book (yay!)—but that means posting around here might be a little more sparse than normal (boo!) so bear with me. I'm still alive, just working hard!
