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.
