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.

CrossFit Games-Inspired WOD


*400m Sprint (every time you take a break from one exercise and switch to another)

  • 300 x Full CrossFit Sit-Up (lat flat w/ knees bent and feet flat on floor (hands overhead w/ fingers touching floor) - sit-up w/ hands coming to ankles, repeat w/ speed (may throw arms to help w/ the movement))
  • 200 x Air Squat (buns below knee crease on ea. and every rep)
  • 100 x Hand-Release Push-Up (chest hits floor on down portion of push-up, lift hands off of floor ea. rep, then push-up to plank)

The above workout was inspired by the Reebok CrossFit Games, which aired on ESPN2 last night (one of the assigned workouts for the female competitors involved 200 squats and 100 hand-release push-ups).  What athletes!  I've never so completely understood The Games' slogan: "The Fittest on Earth."
