Ericka Castillo
Auburn Fit1 – Building Health & Fitness
Ericka brings a lifelong appreciation for movement, health, and personal growth to Auburn Fit1. With a background in dance and a strong interest in health and wellness, she has always viewed movement as more than exercise—it can build confidence, connection, and a greater sense of well-being. Dance has been an important part of her life, and she continues to enjoy staying active through dancing, skating, hiking, and exploring different ways to support a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
For Ericka, owning a local gym in Auburn is about much more than running a business. She believes locally owned businesses have a responsibility to be part of the communities they serve—building relationships, supporting other local businesses and organizations, creating opportunities for connection, and giving back. She is excited to build on the community already established at Auburn Fit 1 and continue growing it as a welcoming, inclusive place where members feel known, supported, and connected to one another and to the greater Auburn community.

Committed to every member
As members for over four years, what we value most in Auburn Fit1 is what tends to be missing from many gyms these days…a sense of community. There are plenty of options for those seeking a new gym membership. Most offer convenience, equipment, and cleanliness. What makes Auburn Fit1 unique is our ability to offer all of those things and most importantly, a sense of belonging. Our staff are customer-focused and experts in the field. The Auburn Fit1 instructors are highly trained and offer an array of fun, supportive and challenging programs for all levels. The clientele is our friends and neighbors.
Carolyn and I are 100% committed to ensuring Auburn Fit1 continues to offer everything necessary to help members reach their fitness goals in a safe and enjoyable setting. We will always be open to feedback.
See you at the gym!
