ABOUT
Erin Svare got started in group fitness in 2002. While she participated in athletics through childhood, she didn’t find her true calling until her twenties. The lens through which she sees the fitness world has changed considerably since becoming a mother. In 2008, Erin received her Master’s Degree in Physical Education while pregnant with her first child. After recovering from a c-section, Erin experienced firsthand some of the knowledge gaps in Women’s Health, particularly during the postpartum phase and returning to exercise. This led to pursuing continuing education for prenatal and postpartum health from leaders around the world - including Pelvic Guru courses with instructors from Australia, the Postnatal Fitness Academy in Canada and Pregnancy and Postpartum Athleticism in California.
Erin is a Personal Trainer and Registered Yoga Instructor. Erin received her Yoga certification in Boston with Fluid Yoga and returned to her beloved "Yoga Home" for her 500 hour training YTT. She has been certified in Pre & Postnatal Strength, Pilates and Spinning. Erin is dedicated to continuing education and takes courses annually to stay current within the constantly changing fitness world. In 2022, she completed two courses with Dr. Stacy Sims; one on Menopause and another titled “Women Are Not Small Men.” Erin is an avid Women’s Health Advocate who excels at connecting women to health providers and rebuilding strength after childbirth. Erin has become the coach she needed after her babies were born.
Erin specializes in making weight training less intimidating for people at all levels. In October of 2024, Erin earned her Strong First Barbell Certification. In 2025, she began a kettlebell training program.
Erin's weekly clients range in age from teens to late seventies and she wholeheartedly believes that it is never too late to begin strength training. She enjoys hiking, lifting weights and staying strong enough to keep up with her three children, husband and dog.

philosophy
Movement
I love to move and I enjoy many different kinds of activity. I enjoy a sweaty run, a beautiful hike and I often feel giddy when I take off on a bike ride. I feel powerful and strong when I lift weights and I find a peaceful balance when I practice yoga. I enjoy trying new things even though that also make me nervous. The bottom line: movement is what makes me feel whole. I also enjoy relaxing, but with three kids ages 16, 12 and 9, there is not abundant time for that in this chapter of life.
GOALS
I am more than these descriptions, just like anyone reading this has many roles in life. When I became a mother in 2009, I had a different mindset than I do today. I jumped right back into triathlon training and everything else very quickly after having a c-section. It makes me cringe when I think about it now. Yet after birthing three babies and devoting a great deal of time to studying female athletes and the postpartum body, I have a fresh outlook on working with women. Postpartum is HARD. One of my goals is to make postpartum better. I am passionate about helping women on their postpartum journey, through menopause and anything else you might be going through.
Empowerment
Another one of my goals is to instill more confidence in women. I am surrounded by capable, intelligent, amazing women, yet too many of them attach their worth to the the size of their waist or hips. Life is too short. Let’s celebrate our bodies and all that they do for us. Many of us have grown and birthed babies, climbed mountains or crossed finish lines. The female body is incredible and we must honor and protect it. Not much excites me more than helping women feel stronger, more confident and realize their full potential!
