About Erin Fitness 

Erin Fitness is a local gym welcome to everyone on all fitness levels. The main focus at Erin Fitness is helping you with our best advice and keeping you on your health journey. We have lots of different equipment and spaces including the front room with cardio equipment, the garage with heavy equipment and the basement with some free weights.  

Learning in the Workplace 

I've learned a lot during this experience and everyone has been super helpful. I've been able to better improve customer service skills by welcoming everyday members of the gym and new members. I've started to learn a little bit of computer work like renewing membership but I still have more to learn. While working there I learned the importance of keeping a clean and organized gym for all the members by keeping the floors, bathrooms, change rooms and workout equipment sparkling clean.

Community Involvement and Contribution

Within the community, Erin Fitness has made a huge mark on how much it's helped. Christine and Sierra have been a wonderful addition to the Erin community.  They are kind and helpful and always so encouraging to everyone they meet.  Christine and Sierra are not only owners of this great business but they also take the time to get to know their clients and really understand the value of relationships.  They know the clients on a personal level and this is shown when often their clients bring them treats and baked goods to show how much they appreciate their time and kindness. 

The Amazing Team at Erin Fitness 

“Christine, Sierra and Bob are wonderful encouraging people. They are always ready for their clients with a smile on their face and making sure their clients are motivated and happy. Working there is really great. They are laid back, they are super understanding when I can't make it into work. I've loved working with them all and can't wait to continue learning”
