BIO
At a young age, Erik was immersed in the field of sports and fell in love with football. His parents pushed him to be his very best, from running on the beach in the coldest of months to pushing wheelbarrows of concrete up his steep driveway. This commitment to training at a young age led to his career in health and fitness.
He began his personal training career at the early age of nineteen. Since then he has gained numerous certifications and testimonials. The most prominent certification being his bachelor’s degree from the College of Health and Human Performance at East Carolina University.
To become better at his craft, Erik has sought out and learned from some of the best in the field. Be it a weekend seminar, or a two-week retreat in Costa Rica. Erik is dedicated to learning the best methods possible to improve health and fitness.

Train Against Gravity™
Standing On the Shoulders Of Giants
Over the last seven years, I have completed over 10,000 hours of personal training and continued education. Through those experiences, I have created Train Against Gravity. But it was not done alone nor is it finished. I would like to thank Mike Robertson, Bill Hartman, Eric Cressey, Zac Cupples, Lucy Hendricks, Pat Davidson, Ben House, James Cerbie and many others for their wisdom. Without their insight, T.A.G wouldn't exist.
