Erika Weiss

Erika was born and raised in Chico, California and is currently a student at Chico State studying Organizational Communication with a minor in Small Business Entrepreneurship. She first discovered Pilates in 2022 while looking for a healthier way to manage stress. What started as a simple outlet quickly became something much bigger. She fell in love with the practice and the way it shifted her mindset toward a more grounded and positive place.

As her passion grew, Erika decided to pursue her mat Pilates certification and began teaching at the Wildcat Recreation Center. Through this journey, Pilates taught her consistency, how to build sustainable habits, and how to truly show up for herself. These lessons shaped her both on and off the mat.

Erika’s mission as an instructor is to help others experience the same growth she did. She knows movement can feel vulnerable or out of one’s comfort zone, so she aims to create a space where everyone can feel supported, comfortable, and confident in their own strength. She hopes her classes become a place where students can find clarity, empowerment, and a form of movement they genuinely enjoy.
