Christie Underwood

CERTIFIED Pilates Instructor

Christie’s passion for fitness led her to Pilates after 15 years in the fitness field. She has been doing Pilates in her body since 2002 and quickly became a mat instructor. She began teaching Balanced Body Reformer classes in 2015 and later added the chair, barrels, and the tower.  Christie is a strong believer in the lifelong concept of mind/body/spirit and has witnessed how Pilates contributes to this triad. She has studied with many Balanced Body Master Instructors and continues to study alongside them at EPY Pilates.

Christie considers herself fortunate to have found her passion for fitness during high school and carried it forward Western Oregon University teaching aerobic fitness classes. She continued to train at Salem YMCA for dry land and water aerobics instruction. This provided Christie with a remarkable opportunity to broaden her horizons … halfway around the globe. She was offered a spot with the International Studies Abroad program in Israel.  Here she shared her passion for exercise, and it’s benefits with members and guests of the International YMCA in Jerusalem.

She is delighted when her clients exceed their goals, or her group class enthusiasm reaches a new level.  Christie has a BS in Corporate Health and Fitness and since has earned many fitness certificates such as Personal Training, Barre, Body Shred®, Heart Zoning®, Cycling, TRX, Yoga, Zumba, etc. Christie’s clients, ages five through 96, can attest to attaining results in positive and encouraging settings. By listening to clients’ goals or observing their baselines, Christie customizes workout plans or tailors class cues to achieve optimal outcomes.
