Your Coach,
Eryk
A unique individual with a deep passion for guiding others through their transformative journey—no matter how big or small.
Deep Dive—Let’s Go.
Born in Canada and raised in a first-generation immigrant household, Eryk always felt the push and pull between family expectations and the outside world.
As a kid, he navigated the classic nerdy phase, spending hours gaming before shifting his focus to sports—mainly basketball. By high school, the court became his identity, and the weight room became his second home. His dedication led him to collegiate basketball, where he trained under elite coaches and athletic trainers.
From Athlete to Seeker
After college, stepping away from basketball left Eryk in a state of post-athlete depression—a struggle with identity, purpose, and self-worth. To fill the void, he immersed himself in psychology, philosophy, and spirituality, searching for answers beyond physical training.
This curiosity led him on a solo journey through Europe, India, and Nepal, not for leisure, but for soul-searching. In India, he pursued an intensive yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, the “Yoga Capital of the World.” Days spent with Hindu monks along the Ganges River and a 10-day silent Vipassana meditation study in a Nepalese monastery profoundly reshaped his approach to mental fitness—a pillar that would later define ERYKFIT.
Blending East & West
Returning to Canada brought reverse culture shock and a deeper realization of the contrast between Eastern and Western mindsets. Seeking to understand all walks of life, Eryk pursued a Bachelor of Technology, worked in corporate design, trained in the Skilled Trades as an Electrician, and earned his Personal Training Certification—all while privately coaching on the side.
This diverse experience allowed him to relate to clients from all backgrounds, from office professionals to tradespeople, athletes to everyday movers. He saw firsthand that fitness, mindset, and mental resilience were universal needs.
The Birth of ERYKFIT
Eryk founded ERYKFIT to deliver a holistic, results-driven approach to physical fitness, mental fitness, and mindset coaching. These three elements were the keys to his own personal growth—through failure, learning, and mastery.

We are all “same, same, but different.” ERYKFIT’s custom coaching brings out the best in the unique individual that is you.
