Erica Doyle

My experience in the fields of fitness, health and wellness began with personal training students and staff at UW - La Crosse, where I attended college.  I received my BS in exercise and sport science and did an internship at Dartmouth College.  I worked in the strength and conditioning department and had direct interaction with the athletes.  I developed and implemented programs for many of their teams.  After completing my internship, I worked as a weight loss counselor at Camp Shane in New York.  I mentored teens to help them on their jouneys and quests to live happier and healither lives.  When this job ended, I found myself back in Madison and still reside there today.

I have been personal training in the Madison, WI area for 12 years.  My first experience training in Madison was at a boutique style personal training studio called Orange Shoe.  I trained, taught yoga, and provided nutritional guidance and counseling to clients there for 3.5 years.  While I loved what I did, I wanted to continue to grow professionally.  I started my own business in March of 2013 called Empower Fitness.  I'm currently personal training and serving as a total support system to my own clients.  I am also a yoga instructor at an area studio, Dragonfly Hot Yoga, where I teach primarily vinyasa classes and high intensity interval training classes.  I have worked with individuals of all ages with varying fitness abilities, limitations, goals, personalities, and so on.  I have experience in working with clients one on one, in small groups, and large groups alike.  I have taught circuit style, bootcamp, strength, conditioning and yoga classes.  

I am an energetic and passionate fitness professional.  My goal is to help everyone I come into contact with live happier and healthier days.  I truly believe that keeping a healthy body and mind is the best way to improve the quality of life.  I strive to help my family, friends and clients take care of their bodies, minds, and spirits.
