I’m Erika Vig (I compete as Erika Kehrwald), a vegan IFBB Bikini Pro and NASM-, ACE- and Precision Nutrition–certified coach based in Danville, California. I’ve been coaching women online and in person in the East Bay since 2020.

How much does coaching cost?

Online training and nutrition coaching is $400/month on a 6-month package, or $500 month to month. Personal training at The Lab Gym in San Ramon is $100–150 a session, and in-home training in the East Bay is $130–160 a session, depending on the pack.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. Every pack longer than a month has a payment plan, and paying in full saves you more.

Can I book one session first?

Yes, you can book a trial session. Most people start with a free 15-minute call so we can make sure it’s a good fit.

How does online coaching work?

I build your custom workouts and nutrition in our app, whether you train at a gym or at home. Every week you check in with photos and your lifts, and I send back a Loom video walking you through what’s working and what we’re changing. You get feedback within 24 hours, and you can message me anytime for form checks or questions.

What equipment do I need for online coaching?

Just a phone, tablet or computer. Your workouts are built around what you have, whether that’s a gym membership, home equipment or outdoor space.

Do I need to live near San Ramon?

No. Online coaching works anywhere. For in-person training, I coach at The Lab Gym in San Ramon, or come to your home in San Ramon, Danville, Alamo, Blackhawk, Diablo, Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Orinda, Moraga, Dublin or Pleasanton.

I’ve never lifted before. Is this for me?

YES! Every client starts where they are. In person, we start with a movement assessment and I’m right beside you for every rep until lifting feels like yours. No crazy exercises…we master the basics.

Will I have to give up foods I love?

Nope! You’ll never have to cut out chocolate :) Most people need repeatable meals they actually enjoy, and that’s what we build. Vegetarian or vegan? Keep your dal, paneer, roti & rice…I’ll teach you how to hit your protein eating the food you grew up on.

What if I have an injury?

I have a Doctor of Physical Therapy on my team (fully virtual!). Cranky knee? Old injury? Pulled your hamstring? He’ll assess you & build a rehab plan right in our app…so a tweak doesn’t derail your progress.

Can you help in perimenopause or menopause?

Yes. Lifting and protein matter more in midlife, not less. I’ll adjust your training and nutrition as your body changes.

Do you coach Bikini and Fit Model competitors?

Yes. I’m an active IFBB Bikini Pro, and I coach competitors from their very first show to their fifth season: off-season growth, prep, peak week and show day.

Can I compete in bikini over 40?

Yes. Many NPC shows have masters bikini classes for women 35+ and 40+, and I plan your prep around your recovery, schedule and training history.

Do you offer posing lessons?

Yes. I teach posing and stage routines one-on-one, in person or virtually, for first-time competitors and seasoned athletes alike.

How do I get started?

Book a free 15-minute call, or fill out the coaching application if you’d rather write. We’ll talk about your goals, your schedule and whether online, gym or in-home training fits you best.

Who isn’t this for?

Anyone who wants to “pause” every time life gets busy (you can always do something!), won’t be honest in check-ins, thinks paying me = results, or wants a new workout every week instead of mastering the basics. I’ll never shame you, but you do have to show up.

Get strong, build confidence, and actually enjoy how you eat.

I’m Erika, a personal trainer and nutrition coach in the East Bay. Before coaching, I spent years as a product designer at tech companies like Spotify, Uber, and Snap, so I know firsthand what a packed calendar does to good intentions.

Whether you want online coaching or personal training in the East Bay, we’ll build a sustainable plan around your real life.

What clients are saying

"What I thought would only be a few months has turned into over five years with Erika, and I’ve never felt healthier or more in-tune with my body. Through weight training and nutrition, she pushes you without driving you away. She genuinely cares and won't let you fail."

— Annette S.

"Not only has my physical strength increased since working with Erika, I’m also so much more confident going to the gym. She makes workouts easy to follow, explains complicated exercises clearly, and makes working out a joy no matter your experience level."

— Jenny G.

"Starting in my mid-60s, I've lost over 15 lbs, gained strength, and achieved my best lab results in ten years. What sets Erika apart is her intuitive, encouraging approach. She tailors workouts around my back pain and incorporates foods I love, making healthy living enjoyable."

— Wendy V.

An intentional approach to coaching

I keep my roster small

I cap how many clients I take on so I actually know your life — when work is crazy, how you’re sleeping, and when your back is acting up.
I always explain the "why"

You’ll never just get a random PDF update. We look at your check-ins, photos, and lifts together with a Loom recording, and I walk you through every change we make.
What works, not what's trendy

No gimmicky exercises just to leave you sore or changing it up every week. Your plan is built around the core fundamentals of strength training and nutrition.
Built around food you love

I will never ask you to give up chocolate. Whether you’re vegetarian, eat family meals like dal and roti, or just love dessert, we fit the foods you enjoy right into your plan.
