interviews

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!
