Erika began CrossFit in 2009, started coaching at CrossFit Fenway in 2011, coached at Reebok CrossFit ONE from 2013 – 2015, and has been with ONE Nation since 2015. She graduated from University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2008 with a major in Communications and a minor in Psychology. Before CrossFit, she was very much a part of team sports including soccer, basketball, and softball. In her college career, she participated in Division II Crew and Division I Women’s Rugby.

CrossFit has provided her a new way of life. It has provided her with the tools to help advance other people’s mental and physical capabilities beyond what they expect of themselves. Since CrossFit has done that for her as an athlete and person, she is looking forward to the opportunity to do the same for others.

In her words: “I love watching movement and solving a fault like it’s a visual equation. How do I help fix that? Did it get better? Incredibly cool when it does and even when it doesn’t. What can I do to relay this better and help change this person’s movement? I coach to show people their own possible. What seems to be unachievable, scary, and pointless to try is something you have control over defeating. The carry over in accomplishing something that was “impossible” will inevitably make you a better human being outside of the gym walls. It is proof to yourself that you can’t argue with.”
