Bored with her old workout routine, Erika found Crossfit in 2007 and hasn’t looked back. After experiencing the incredible benefits that Crossfit provided in her own life, Erika became a Crossfit certified trainer in 2008 in order to work with others and provide them the same opportunities for growth. Erika loves the positive environment of the Crossfit community, and credits Crossfit with providing a physical and mental strength that she never before had -- and for constantly challenging her to be better. She enjoys the unique challenges that come with being both a Crossfit trainer and a competitive Crossfit athlete. Erika believes in the strong crossover between Crossfit and lululemon, due to their similar values and focus on health and community spirit.
Erika helped open Potomac Crossfit in Arlington in August 2008, and its sister gym Patriot Crossfit in March 2011. She left the federal government in 2011 to serve as the full time Director of Operations and Training/ Head Trainer at Patriot. In addition to holding several Crossfit certifications, Erika is also a USA Weightlifting Club Coach.
Schedule: Erika's schedule changes week to week, so it's best to contact Patriot Crossfit before you go. In general, she's almost always there for 9:30am & 12pm classes every day and 6p & 7p Tues/Thurs/Fri.
