Erik comes from a Puerto Rican family. He lives in Milwaukee with his wife and their son. He is an entrepreneur and owner of Erik Zapata Fitness. Coaching, mentoring, hiring people to help you is key if you want to be successful in your personal and/or professional life. Erik is not merely a fitness coach; he is a change agent, and he has impacted many people’s lives.

His journey of transformation is a testimony that will move and challenge you in this episode of Unspoken: Conversation with Candace.
Episode highlights:
07:04 – I lost 45 pounds just out of making better decisions, not overeating at dinner time no more, packing my lunches... My discipline, my determination, that was stemmed, that’s my foundation, who I am – it started way back there.
17:23 – I started drinking so much, all the time, and my family was getting concerned for me. I do not know who I was becoming. And - I got into a bar fight and I ended up breaking this man’s jaw. He was severely injured.
25:15 – That was a wakeup call – because, what happened with the weed, that was a potential felony, good kid, no prior record. And now, another felony, battery-intend bodily harm. I had to wake up that day. I was at the bottom.
27:45 – My life changed so much after I stopped with the bullshit – liquor made me insecure, liquor made me angry, liquor made me fight, liquor made me waste money – there was nothing good about what I was doing. - I challenge anybody to quit drinking for 30 days - quit for 30 days and watch what happens in your life.
37:00 – Nutrition and discipline. I got to see the power of focus. What I could achieve in just 90 days. I’d accomplished what I was going for the last 5-10 years in just 90 days. There were no distractions. And that’s how I live now.
