Erica Nix

Erica Nix is Austin’s local fitness guru and heroine, a bright and raucous force in the community for well over a decade. Her memorable performances, professional photography and career as a queer and trans-inclusive, body positive activist and personal trainer are well documented. From interactive poolside provocative variety shows to rallies and demonstrations and featured showcases at OUTsider Fest and aGLIFF, Ms. Nix works with a wide-ranging audience, transforming our hearts and our bodies one being at a time. She was awarded the Austin Critics Table for best independent project in 2016 and for Best Personal Trainer in 2017 and 2018. Recently ending her business venture Transform Fitness, one of the only LGBTQIA-focused gyms in the country, her mission remains strong in its current independent state. Her collaborations with her teams of dancers from her workout classes are a continual gift to promote self-esteem and community growth. Erica Nix is the ambassador of fitness and self-love for people that feel unlovable, invisible or simply intimidated by normative culture. Reach for the stars!
