Erin Barr is a seasoned personal trainer and wellness coach, and the proud owner of The Body Barr in Manhattan, Kansas. Her career began in 1995 as a manicurist, a role she cherished for 18 years until the birth of her third child marked a turning point in her life. Facing personal challenges with weight gain postpartum, Erin embarked on a transformative weight loss journey. Motivated by her initial success in shedding nearly 70 pounds through diligent training with her husband, Erin discovered a newfound passion for fitness, which she fondly refers to as her "sweat therapy."

This profound personal experience inspired Erin to become a personal trainer. She not only embraced this new path but also excelled in it, competing in her first bodybuilding show at the age of 39 and securing a 2nd place in the Figure category. Her competitive spirit didn't stop there; she achieved professional status in both Figure and Bikini competitions, just days before turning 40.

Today, Erin's mission extends beyond her own achievements. At The Body Barr, she is dedicated to motivating and encouraging other women, helping them realize that they too can feel their best, love their bodies, and reach their healthiest potential as they age. Her holistic approach to wellness is highlighted by her recent introduction of full body red light therapy services at her center, alongside traditional offerings such as personal training, diet consultation, and spa treatments like pedicures and manicures. Erin's journey and commitment to fitness and wellness make her a true inspiration and a pillar in her community.
