Erik is a compassionate, energetic and curious soul whose goal in life is to help others live their highest purpose and be happy in their bodies again, through physical, mental and spiritual transformation. Erik started his movement journey with wrestling, martial arts and then bodybuilding, with goals to “get big”, which led to ego-lifting his way into a back-injury that forced him to look outside of traditional methods. Erik moved to AZ where he became a coach in Bodyweight Mechanics & Steel Mace (TACFIT). He then furthered his knowledge through additional certifications in personal training (NSA), Steel Mace, Clubbells, Kettlebells, and became a Movement Specialist (Rehab-U). Erik also added somatic and functional breathwork and assisted stretch therapy to his arsenal. Today Erik is injury free, eliminating his previous asthma problems through breathwork and diet. Erik’s preference is to approach fitness “Wholeistically” (see what I did there?) by cultivating balanced nervous systems, healthy thought patterns, functional movements and a supportive community.
