I have been in the Northwest Indiana area for a little over a year after a move for a job from Georgia.  Being new to the area, I was looking for a small gym where I could focus on my development rather than having to fight crowds for machines or practicing the same cardio routine day after day – and I’ve found that at Pumps!  My original goals were to work with a trainer that could teach me how to properly perform exercises that would increase my fitness level and to lose weight.  What I found at Pumps is a trainer (you’re awesome Kim Walsh!) that wanted to get to know me as a person and focus on my motivation to make a change and provided me with weekly goals that could allow me to focus on small accomplishments a week at a time rather than the number on the scale. 

I was born with a mild case of Spinabifida and have had lower back pain for as long as I can remember.  Kim has been absolutely fantastic in tailoring exercises to target muscle groups without my back hurting.  Though we have only been working together since November, I am already half way to my goal weigh and I am amazed everyday as I find muscles forming and showing definition that I didn’t know I had.  I had yo-yo dieted and exercised in the past, but the motivation, support, and knowledge that I have gained through personal training has cemented this time as a life change.  With warmer weather right around the corner hopefully, I look forward to hitting my goal weight, but more importantly becoming the best and healthiest version of me that I can be!




Since Erin has started, she has lost 28 pounds in 3 months.  The inches keep melting away: 5 ½ inches off her waist, 2 ¾ inches off her hips, and 2 inches off each of her thighs!
