Why private coaching?


Private coaching lets us slow down and assess what’s actually happening: how you move, what needs attention, what you want to build, and how your training fits into real life.

Together, we’ll build a progressive strength plan, improve technique, and develop movement skills you can carry into your training and daily activities. Sessions may include kettlebells, barbells, bodyweight training, mobility, stability work, and corrective strategies when appropriate.

This kind of coaching is especially helpful when you want better feedback, not more guesswork.

Ericka is great. I’m in my mid 70s, and her detailed focus on proper technique is perfect for me. After several sessions, she developed a program I could continue on my own with periodic check-ins. Ericka combines enthusiasm with critique on form, and she is fun.
— Dr. David A.
