Karie Underwood

I have taught fitness classes in the Seattle/Bellevue Area for over 30 years.

In 2001, I received my Pilates Mat I & II certification.  Jane Erskine, started one of the original Pilates Studios, Erskine Fitness.   I trained directly under her and received my Pilates Mat I & II Certification via Catherine Murakami, Synergy Systems, whom she hired to fly up and round out our training.  It was an exciting time in the Pilates world as certification courses were just coming together and Cathleen herself trained under Pilates Elder, Alan Herdman out of Alan Herdman Pilates Studios of London.   Cathleen continues to provide Pilates Certification Courses and was the first presenter to introduce Pilates to the fitness audience in 1994 at the World IDEA Convention.

Karie’s current certifications include:

•  NASM Certified Personal Trainer
•  ACE Certified Group Fitness Instructor
•  NASM Certified Weight Loss Specialist
•  NASM Certified Fitness Nutrition Specialist
•  Synergy Systems Fitness Certified Pilates Mat I & II Instructor
•  Licensed ZUMBA® B1 & B2 Instructor

My passion in life is helping people become better versions of themselves through exercising and healthy living.
