My "Why" As a Trainer
Hey there fellow mama, my name is Erica and I am an Ontario transplant thriving in the Yukon. I love being a personal trainer, especially postpartum training.
I am a mom to 3 wonderful littles, including my daughter who was born still-still born.
Each of my pregnancies have been a challenge – I threw up nonstop, had low energy and just felt UNWELL.
Exercise was hard but it also gave me a chance to connect with my body. Reconnecting through movement became a lifeline mentally for me after my postpartum loss.
My goal with this program is to provide a space space for postpartum women to connect through exercise. Join me.
To date (April 2019) I have completed:
13 half marathons, 5 full marathons (placed 1st, 2nd and 5th in my division), 1 ultramarathon- Carcross- Whitehorse YT, Full Kluane Chilkat Bike race, 3 sprint triathlons, 3 Olympic triathlons, 1 half Ironman triathlons
Some of my training for others
I’ve built specialized programing for individual who are excited to take on new challenges like the Yukon Quest, Reckless Raven Ultra, Whitehorse Trail Marathon, Kluane Chilkat Bike race, 70.3 Ironman, and 140.6 Ironman.
My Educational Background
I graduated from Durham College in 2008 with a Fitness & Health Promotion and Certified Personal Trainer degree and completed my placement at Napanee Physiotherapy Clinic as a Personal Trainer/Physio Assistant. I then completed the Mountain Adventure Skills and Tourism program in Fernie BC. In 2012, moved to Whitehorse in 2013 and have called Whitehorse home ever since.
