Our Story
I’m Erica Funk, founder of Evolve Fit, the wife of Warren Funk and mom to a very active infant, Kaitlyn, who we adopted in 2016.
I fell in love with working out when I was a nanny in New Jersey at the age of 19 or 20. The family I was working for bought me a YMCA pass as part of my salary. I started slowly working out by attending step aerobics and lifting weights. I worked out as much as I could, while playing basketball, volleyball and softball. All the sports I loved. While there, I lost 25lbs! Yes 25lbs, crazy to think but in high school and college I weighed a lot and didn’t like how my clothes felt. And of course being in college I thought it was best to eat like everyone else and drink. After losing the weight I was addicted!
Once I returned home I got a membership to a kickboxing club where I could do classes or weights. I was working out 2x a day, I know you think what the heck!
As I got older my life changed, moved to Colorado and started my life here with Warren. I worked out when I could or found a job at a club where I knew I could get a workout in.
Years passed, my metabolism changed, I hit a plateau and I tried to stay as active as possible. I thought I was eating the best I could but knew something wasn’t right. One of my dear friends helped me find a plan which led me to my passion of helping others feel better and more confident in our own skin. I lost a few pounds and inches which helped my energy level. Then I did a 12 week program that helped to shed a few pounds and meet my goal of doing a photo shoot, including hair, makeup, outfits, and photos. It was such a rewarding experience that I want to help others achieve a goal that they have dreamed about.
I knew I wanted to help more people so I decided to get my Personal Fitness Trainer certification through ISSA in May 2017. I want others to live life to the fullest, take leaps, jump high, and achieve what they can.
