Erica leads by example; a positive, relevant, insightful, thoughtful, loving, determined, smart example. She is a fitness and lifestyle & weight management specialist recognized for her “Get the Monkey Off Your Back” mantra, signature ever-present high energy personality, direct-to-the-point delivery, and of course, athletic accomplishments.

She has over 30 years of health, fitness, and behavioral lifestyle and weight management counseling experience. She is a mother, wife, the owner of Endorphasm Fitness, WOWSuperhero professional wrestler (Jungle Grrrl) and happiness junkie. But most importantly, she is a human being that struggles with the same life stuff as everyone else, and has made it her mission to facilitate change, and help others create a life of total wellness through good choices and functional physical training.

Erica is an effective, fun professional, and everyone loves her; it is just the truth.

A Magna Cum Laude Rochester Instituteof Technology alum, Carlo spent the first 15 years of his career in various operations and engineering leadership capacities. The birth of his son in 2009 inspired a career change to professional firefighter, a more community-oriented profession, with a schedule that would allow better life balance.

Carlo graduated with the highest GPA from both the City of Petersburg and Henrico County Fire Academy programs. Credit to his amazing partner Erica Porter for her physical training expertise, Carlo consistently completed all physical assessment activities in the 100th percentile, and at 44 years old, set the overall Henrico County record for the 1.5 mile run.

Carlo intends to support Erica in whatever way possible as she navigates the implications of this illness and works to make EF impactful.
