APEX FIT was founded by Erika Ridgle in September 2023. It is a passion project born from the needs of athletes and their ever-changing demands of an active lifestyle.

Married to a retired professional athlete, Erika and her partner both have a deep passion for fitness and adventure. They've devoted a substantial portion of their lives to working out in the gym and exploring the great outdoors. As they adapted to evolving workout routines and experienced the natural changes in their bodies, they came to a significant realization – finding the appropriate gear, clothing, and equipment to ensure safe and effective workouts was anything but simple.

They consistently faced the challenge of sourcing budget-friendly products tailored to their specific needs. Erika's unwavering determination to solve this problem led her to envision an apparel line designed for athletes and those with aspirations in the fitness world. A portion of the proceeds from Apex Fit goes to The Ridgle Foundation, which covers the costs for underprivileged children to participate in summer sports programs.

Erika has been the driving force behind a remarkable non-profit foundation for over 7 years. She has dedicated her time to feeding the homeless and providing invaluable financial assistance to children eager to participate in community sports. Her work has touched countless lives, making dreams come true and filling hearts with hope.

Erika's passion for physical training and weightlifting runs deep within her veins. She's not just an advocate for health and fitness; she embodies it. When she's not lifting weights, you'll find her immersed in the world of words, writing to inspire others. And when wanderlust calls, Erika is always ready to embark on new travel adventures to explore the beauty of our world.

Her journey into health and fitness is nothing short of inspirational. Her mother often jokes that she was born with a knack for exercise and running laps before she even knew what laps were.

Erika's life serves as a testament to her enduring love for health and fitness. Her journey spans from childhood laps to her years as a track athlete, followed by a dedicated 22-year commitment to ballet. Over the past decade, she has also embraced the world of weightlifting

Erika Ridgle is driven to be a beacon for positive change, an inspiration and a dedicated champion for health, fitness, and community engagement. We warmly invite you to join her on this exciting entrepreneurial journey.
