Meet Your Trainers

Erica Wald

Founder and Co-owner
BS Biochemistry, University of Kansas
Certified Personal Trainer, NASM
Specialities: Body Transformation, Bride & Groom, Pre/Post Natal

Erica has been involved and influencing Denver's Fitness community for over 7 years now. She built the business from the ground up working solely with brides for the first half of her career. Her before and after portfolio is extensive and speaks for itself. However, her true belief is that physical results are a bi-product to the mental results her clients obtain. Erica works with her clients on building their confidence and speaking only positively about themselves. Lasting transformation should incorporate the mind and the body. No workout is like another when you train with Erica. The most common comment her clients say about her is that they NEVER do the same workout twice. You will be constantly challenged and leave feeling stronger every workout. We all have a habit of underestimating ourselves and Erica strives to help people break this habit.

Erica was born and raised in Minnesota, went to college at the University of Kansas and settled in Denver, CO. She grew up with Midwest values but never quite fit in long term. She was taught independence at a young age so the first thing she did when she graduated was venture south. While at KU she fell in love with the body (and college basketball). Eventually, after graduation, she found her forever home in Denver, CO and met her now husband and business partner. Their dynamic is magnetic and will make you feel right at home. It's rare to see Erica without a smile on her face so if you're in need of some positive vibes she's a safe bet!
