Strengthen your body, elevate your life
About me
Strength shapes more than the body, it also sharpens the mind.
Growth begins when we step beyond what’s familiar. Living abroad, especially in Japan, taught me that lasting transformation isn’t just about changing habits; it’s about embracing discipline, being present in the process, and learning from every rep, every choice.
I became the coach I once needed—someone who understands the challenges of adapting to a new culture, reading food labels, or simply staying consistent. Now, I help others build strength inside and out, one decision at a time.
Whatever your goal is fat loss, muscle gain, or just feeling better, I’ll guide you with a plan that fits your life. Progress comes when you commit to the journey, not just the outcome. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.

Cynthia Wang
Since I moved to Japan, I've been searching for a personal trainer who can communicate in English, has rich experience and can help lazy me (lol) achieve my fitness goals. Luckily, I met Erika! She tailors training and diet plans according to my needs, and considering her professionalism, the fees are very reasonable. She helped me, who was originally lacking confidence in my body, to understand that self-love is the most important thing.

I have trained since I was 14 years old and thought I knew everything about it but Erika has taught me so much more. I recommend her couching to anyone who wants to get a good looking healthy body and avoid injuries that can come up during training. Her professional approach and motivation makes a powerful combination that will help you achieve your goals.

I have been training with Erika for 3 years (1 year rest because of family issue). She is the best trainer I have ever met in my life. She is professional, with all the most dated knowledge. It is very difficult to find a female instructor who understands women's goal and difficulties in Tokyo area. BTW, the gym is tattoo friendly, and normally there is only one client in the gym.

Erika es MUY PROFESIONAL, se nota que está muy preparada, que ha estudiado - que estudia mucho… Sus entrenamientos y su entrega son inmejorables. Llevaba años buscando a una persona así para entrenar en Tokio y no puedo estar más feliz. En un mes y medio mi evolución ha sido notable y sorprendente. Su acompañamiento y dedicación, su empuje y cercanía, han sido claves.
