When our former gym shut down for what would turn out to be forever just over a eighteen months ago, April Ersing didn't sit still. She immediately pivoted and began doing virtual classes.
Candidly, that wasn't my thing at the time. But it kept her corner of the community together and when she started organizing in-person, outdoor classes in the park in July of 2020, I happily showed up.
And when, just a few weeks later, she announced she was opening a gym in the city (when our former gym had simply quit on all of us and fled to Orchard Park), I was all-in.
Despite having to again retreat to our homes in November of 2020 - with April again conducting a masterful pivot to virtual classes - I've never been more fit, stronger or more happy with how I feel as a person and as an athlete.
Now, a year later, this growing community of fitness enthusiasts that I sweat with 5 days a week (outdoors, in person or over Zoom) - plus April's themed classes (80's, Rocky IV, Pal-entine's Day, Easter Eggs-ersize, April's Favorite Things, Sweat-speare in Delaware Park) - is a wellspring of positivity and enthusiasm in what has been a very challenging (and at times very dark) time for all of us.
As a coach and as a person, April cares deeply, challenges directly and is candid, compassionate and fiercely supportive of her clients.
If this is what's missing in your life, you owe it to yourself to join us.
We look forward to seeing you.
