Where Science Meets Fitness

No matter what your current fitness level or former athletic experience, you can learn to train like an Olympic-caliber athlete. I am Erin Borchard, a former elite springboard/platform diver (NCAA Champion and multi-year All-American at Stanford University, former member of the US National Diving Team, and two-time competitor at the US Olympic Team Trials), specializing in personal and small group training sessions. I am also a Phi Beta Kappa student with a B.A. in Human Biology; my strong science background is an ever present influence shaping and changing my training philosophy.

I want to help you push yourself to YOUR maximum...you'll be shocked to find the true athlete living inside of you.

Superman Workout: Super Speed + Super Strength Sets


Below is the workout breakdown of what I did this morning.  Talk about a full body workout!!...every body part and every energy system worked.  This one will ask you to repeat bouts of extremely high intensity work for a long duration.  If you push yourself hard enough, this kind of high intensity endurance will guarantee results.  You'll be leaner, more toned, faster, stronger, and able to last longer.  You can't work out this hard every day, but ask it of yourself 2 to 3 days per week, and you WILL see a new, more athletic you emerge.
