Coach Erin

Facility Manager

Hometown:

Rochester, MN

Education & Certifications:

BA in Health & PE Education
Certification in Graphic Design

Coaching & Fitness Background:

I was a PE Teacher for 2 years in Nicollet, MN - it was K-12 but I mostly enjoyed the younger elementary.

I learned a lot about fitness, training & adjusting programming through hands on as we were building the gym, prior to hiring other coaches. While I’ve attended a number of conferences with our team, I hold no coaching certifications.

Why I Love Coaching:

I love helping people accomplish the things they never thought possible.

Favorite Workout Style:

I’m a former cardio (running) nut turned strength converted to BOTH strength & cardio. There is benefit to both & the completion of each gives a different sense of accomplishment.

Go-To Workout Playlist:

Whatever is on at FF - BUT if it’s an empty gym, I go to Eminem/50 Cent/Ludacris radio to bring me back to High School 🙂
