IN-PERSON INDIVIDUAL coaching
KUDOS
I highly recommend working with Ericka! I trained with her to achieve my StrongFirst Barbell Certification. I love how levelheaded she is and when an obstacle would arise, we’d simply go back to the drawing board and come up with a new plan of attack.
I had a 3x per week program and the option to do occasional Virtual Kettlebell Classes was super helpful as I wanted to re-certify my Level One SFG Kettlebell certification.
Ultimately, I felt prepared going into the certification weekend and I passed both certs successfully!

As a two time Kona Ironman qualifier I have ambitious athletic goals and as a physician I am very discerning in my choice of trainers…
Ericka came highly recommended, and my first hand observations of her working with clients confirmed to me that we would make a good fit. I have not been disappointed. She comes prepared to each of our sessions with a carefully crafted menu of exercises to work through, each building upon the previous within that day's workout, and building in a more holistic fashion from week to week. The progression is well thought out and designed to target my weaknesses while improving not just my strength, but also my flexibility and posture, all while avoiding injury.
I highly appreciate her attention to detail in getting me to execute each move in a technically precise fashion, and her demonstrations of the movements leave me with a profound respect for the degree to which she has honed her craft.
Working with Ericka has made me a stronger and more resilient athlete and under her tutelage and support I am left with a sense that my best is yet to come. What more can you ask for?

COACH OF COACHES: Ericka Darst
Are you a strength coach? Do you want to learn how to use kettlebells optimally without getting hurt or your clients getting hurt? Go to the Coach of Coaches!
Coach Ericka is the Mother of Dragons in the Twin Cities. She has trained some of the best kettlebell instructors in town. Why is she different? The Devil is in the Details.
I have been teaching kettlebells as an RKC Instructor and I have been using weights for over 30 years. I need to get re-certified every few years, my time was up and I chose to go the StrongFirst route. I knew it would be super challenging to pass this certification. I met with Coach Ericka and I still had SO much to learn!
All of my lifts have gone up. I trained with her weekly for months and I was so prepared for my StrongFirst certification in Chicago. I have trained with other coaches for certs and had not learned half of what Ericka has taught me!
