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.

NOTES: 
  1. Even if you don’t complete a round within the 2 min. time limit, you MUST start the next round once 2 minutes is up
  2. Nobody will complete > 5 rounds per set!!
  3. Why the 2 minute rounds?...to motivate you to go ALL OUT in order to earn rest each round
