Spotlight On.... Erin Underwood!!
1 month into training 3 months into training!!
(just starting out) (current picture)
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!
