Live Thrive Grow

I ran all through school, but after college, work, family and life in general just got in the way of taking care of myself physically. Finding Erica and her GotToRun group got me back on (the) track, literally. She made getting up early to run so much easier because she made the running itself fun. We were a pretty varied group in terms of experience, goals and abilities, but with Erica’s lead, we became a supportive network for each other. Our “Original Run Club” as we called ourselves, traveled together to multiple half and full marathons and several of us are still friends years later. Erica’s motivation and guidance helped me achieve PRs for both half and full marathons and is a big part of why I’m still running today. More...

I want everyone to know what an amazing fitness expert, motivator and catalyst of positive life change, Erica Merrill truly is. She convinced me to join a new run club she was building. I was reluctant, because I had never in my life been into running. But, she was persistent and was so full of positive energy and influence, I agreed to participate. It was very hard work, but something about Erica makes you just want to succeed. At first, I couldn’t jog 100 feet without being out of breath. But, by following her training program, I ended up losing 25lbs and was running half marathons with the run club for next 2 years. If you want to lose weight, live a happier more fulfilling life, let Erica help you. It will be the best decision you ever make! More...

I spent several years working out with Erica and her Run Club. Not only did we run, we also participated in her outdoor boot camp classes. I can honestly say that during that time period, I learned more about myself and physical abilities than I have with any other fitness professional. Erica was able to truly bring the best out in anyone she worked with. With her support and direction, I was able to improve my level of fitness and run my first half marathon (13.1 miles). Honestly, I joined the club to have a group to run with, but I got so much more. If fact, it was worth it to me to drive an hour each way to participate, talk about commitment.
I can comfortably recommend Erica and her company, live thrive grow, to help anyone who wants to improve their fitness game. She not only has the skill set but also has the passion to help others reach their goals. She offers education, encouragement and an environment of support.
If you’re considering working with Erica, Do IT! Take the steps to improve yourself. Fell better. Look better and be better! More...

I’ve taken countless group exercise classes from Erica over the years! And I’ve been part of her running club. What kept me coming back for more over the years was Erica’s motivating style, her clear direction/ expectations and (most importantly) the changes I realized in my body because of her instruction!
Yes, Erica has been inspirational during times that I could have “walked away” from my goals, especially on those long long runs! But she’s also been spot on around what I (and the rest of her team/classes) needed to do to meet our goals. I think Erica’s passion for helping others comes through in every workout and every training!
I highly recommend Erica and the products she carefully crafts with the purpose of changing lives for the better. More...

It was a worthwhile and meaningful experience working with Live Thrive Grow! I reached my target Smart goal after 3 months and thanks to this great program! Additionally, before the program, I didn’t have all the tools or resources I needed to get there, but I now have them to maintain this ideal weight. And I also feel stronger now and I can attribute this to the weekly workouts! Overall, this program helped me finally get to where I’ve wanted to be for some time. More...
