Erin Mahoney

Erin is the General Manager of NFPT, overseeing the strategic vision of certification offerings and how to best serve the fitness community in their careers and long-term success. Erin has been working in the fitness and nutrition certification space for over 15 years as an executive leader developing courses and compelling product offerings. She started her career training clients and teaching group fitness sessions throughout college. NFPT happened to be her very first training certification! She stays well- entrenched in the industry by coaching group training sessions and teaching fitness classes. She loves outdoor exercise in Scottsdale, AZ, including running, swimming, and hiking, but loves nothing more than training her dog with new skills and learning agility tricks.

Outside of her initial roots working as a personal trainer, Erin’s passion for fitness, her innovative approach to professional development, and her ability to connect with others makes her an invaluable member of the NFPT family.
