Erin Jones

I am currently working as a Personal Trainer at a Sports Club in California. I am an NASM Certified Personal Trainer with a degree in Kinesiology from the University of Illinois. I have been involved in the fitness industry for the past 8 years, but athletics have always been a part of my my life. In college I received a scholarship to play softball at the Division I level. I am passionate about helping people create more quality lives through exercise and nutrition. I am also passionate about traveling, and the mind-body-spirit connection. I plan on getting my yoga certification very soon. Personal training allows me to work with people in a very rewarding way. I would love to combine this with my interest in traveling!
