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.

"The Kraken 3.0" + "The Kraken 4.0"

*NOTE: "The Kraken" is a famous benchmark CrossFit WOD (17 min. time cap to complete same rep/ set scheme as below w/ different movements).  Recently, there was a CrossFit competition in Ventura County which had the competitors doing a remodeled version of "The Kraken," which they titled "The Kraken 2.0" and gave a 19 min. time cap.  I followed that idea and made two more alternative versions of this famous WOD.  See below for the fun we had today in my Conditioning class:)
