Meet Erin

Since joining MVP Rockford in 2021, Erin Gauthier has experienced a total transformation—both physically and mentally. Specifically, over the past year, thanks to the Strength Development program, what began as a commitment to improving her fitness has grown into a deeper journey of self-discovery, where physical strength is just the beginning. 

The program has not only increased Erin's physical strength but also elevated her self-confidence and mental resilience. "I’ve gained so much more than just strength," Erin shares. "I feel more confident, and I’ve developed a much stronger mindset." 

One of the things Erin loves most about the program is how varied it is. Each week of the 12-week session is different and builds off of the previous one. She has also been dramatically affected by the instructor team. "The instructors are amazing—they make the classes so much fun, and they push me to give my best," she says. Their enthusiasm and support keep her motivated to keep challenging herself. 

Beyond the workouts, Erin has built lasting friendships that provide constant encouragement. "The community here is incredible. It’s not just about working out; it’s about having a team of people who are all in this together." 

The Strength and Development program has also deepened Erin's understanding of fitness. She’s learned proper lifting techniques, the importance of consistency, and how to set and achieve realistic goals. "The focus on form is second to none. The instructors really take the time to correct your technique, which makes such a difference," Erin notes. 

Erin credits the camaraderie in class for helping her tackle challenges, both in the gym and in life. "I’m stronger, both physically and mentally," she says. "I can see it and feel it. And most importantly, I have more confidence in myself." 

For Erin, Strength and Development is more than a fitness program—it’s a path to becoming her best self, surrounded by a community that inspires and supports her every step of the way.
