Meet Arica! | For U Fitness

Hello, my name is Arica.  Growing up I was an active child that participated in as many sports as my parents would allow.  After my completion of high school I realized soccer was my true passion.  I started my soccer career at Tacoma Community College where I also received my AA degree. 

Continuing my education, I was accepted into the University of Washington but had many troubles on choosing a major.  Still having the desire to play soccer at a competitive level, I transferred to Central Washington University where I completed a Bachelors degree in Recreational Management. 

I went onto the next level of soccer when I became a part of the Seattle Women Sounders.  I know what it takes to be at the top level and how to get there starting from the very bottom.  


I decided to carry on my education by enrolling in Pierce Community College Personal Training Program to gain more assets in becoming a personal trainer.  Through their program I was able to become an ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) certified personal trainer.
