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.

SCORE = Sum of Total Reps over all 40 minutes (NOT counting Ball Slam) MINUS any Penalty Points (missed Ball Slams)
-after every :40 work period, use :20 to record reps and to transition to next exercise
-only count reps for the non-Ball Slam exercises (M-Up, Plyo P-Up, Snatch, KB Burp, and RDL HP)
-best method: write all 5 scored exercises in chalk on floor (matrix) to record reps
-for every 1 Ball Slam shy of your Rx goal each set = 1 penalty point
