Build your Body Hi! I have worked one on one with clients and taught group classes with up to 50+ people. At Build and Burn, your goal becomes my goal!
My name is Erika Godwin and in my 6+ years working in the fitness industry, I have worked in many gyms – from big box chains to smaller boutique studios. And in all that time, there has been one constant:
I love training. I love helping people reach their fitness goals – no goal is too small. You have a wide variety of training options available to help you reach that goal – group training, privat

Member Monday! It’s Bronwen!
Bronwen is a recent member of Build and Burn but it feels like she’s been here for years! She fits right in with the 8:30 crew! Bronwen is hilarious, down to earth and so friendly. She always walks in with a smile, ready to chat and even though she gives me that look mid workout that says “are you kidding me, Erika?”, she always shows up and puts in the work. Also, she’s a business owner! Try her pizza place, Naughty Pie Nature in Echo Park!
What is your job?
I own a small (literal) hole in the wall pizza shop in Echo Park called Naughty Pie Nature.
What do you like to do for fun?
Despite doing it for a living, hosting and cooking for people is my all time favorite. I’m always happiest when I’m sharing a meal with someone, OR watching basketball. I also am a sucker for games. Game nights, board games, cards, charades, trivia, you name it. Sign me up!
What is your favorite B & B class during the week?
Friday! I love all the camaraderie of it and the stations make class fly by. Plus, you know I love gab and Friday provides the ultimate atmosphere (and workout)😊.
Do you have a motivational saying that you tell yourself when the workout gets tough or it’s hard to even get out the door to the gym?
I don’t have one particular saying, but I just focus on one rep at a time or a spot in the distance when I’m running that I promise myself I’ll get to, then I find it easier to add of from there!

500 classes alert! Congratulations on reaching this milestone!
I have known Katie for a long time. She is intelligent, thoughtful and so warm. You would not be surprised to learn that she was a teacher for many years and still teaches occasionally. She always has a smile when she walks in and something interesting to talk about, whether it’s a play she saw that weekend or book she just read or a place she recently traveled to. Katie has a curiosity about life and a compassion for people that is infectious. So glad to have you in Build and Burn, Katie!
Member Appreciation Breakfast!

Happy International Women’s Day! There are INCREDIBLE women in Build and Burn and I am so inspired by you all every day!
