Who We Are

The Fit Bottomed Girls are a team originally made up of Jenn Walters and Erin Whitehead. While the pair is sometimes so twin-like it’s scary, they both bring different perspectives to the FBG table. Jenn has several fitness credentials under her belt: She is a certified personal trainer, a lifestyle and weight management consultant and a group exercise instructor. Erin has years of workout experience and is well versed in fitness news and trends, but brings an untrained eye to mix. Jenn and Erin both have journalism degrees from rival schools—the University of Missouri and the University of Kansas, respectively. Jenn also has an MA in health journalism from the University of Minnesota.

Due to the site’s increasing popularity, Jenn and Erin have expanded the FBG team to include contributing writers Tish Merritt and Kristen Seymour, and nutrition expert Jessica Edwards to the mix, bringing new content and other fun, fresh perspectives to the site.

Even with their varied expertise, the FBGs pride themselves on being real girls—not gladiators. They understand that health and fitness should be about enjoyable activities and the occasional treat, not about torturous workouts and deprivation.

Non-Fitness Facts

While Jenn is settled in the Midwest, Erin has landed in New Jersey after two years in Northern California. When not working out, Jenn can be found challenging her husband to a wicked game of MarioKart on the Wii, updating her 1960s-decorated home and playing soccer with her pup. When not working out, Erin can be found hanging with her husband and her pug. Fave pastimes include reading and devouring entire seasons of TV shows in just days via Netflix.
