2012: 21- Drained, ashamed, and extremely sick.
If you didn’t know me, you'd only see my surface. We all know I'm talking about my body. I was morbidly obese. I looked lazy, like I just ate all the time. What bothered me most, it looked like I didn’t care.
If you truly knew me - my whole life I played sports, didn’t play video games, didn’t sit around. I was the kid you had to call inside at dark. I also didn’t have an unhealthy relationship with food.
When you're young you don’t understand. Being the fat kid all my life was hard. Being the fat teen and the fat adult was even harder. People can be so cruel. I had spent YEARS trying to get my weight under control. Trying to stay as active as my body would let me. Limiting my portion sizes, etc- didn’t even touch it.
So there I was, six months after my 21st birthday, laying in a hospital bed at 3am. Done. I felt like my body had completely betrayed me.
2012 (260+lbs) 21st Birthday
Well years of struggles and an autoimmune disease later, things start to feel normal again.
My heaviest, somewhere just over 260lbs. Once the digestive issues got more sorted out, I lost the first 70lbs from 'diet' alone. My body wanted rid of it, bad. I started working again. I was feeling more myself than I had in years.
2013: I wanted more. So I walked into a Planet Fitness, and walked out with a membership I couldn’t wait to use. You guys... I HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WAS DOING. I had some knowledge from playing sports all my life. When it came to WHAT to do... between winging it and Pinterest I got somewhere eventually.
2014: I started to get a real knack for fitness. I loved learning what my body could do, what it was capable of. I also loved the way it made me feel.
2019 (140lbs) I passed my CPT exam.
2018: I had a lot of people asking me how I did it. It's not a short nor easy answer. I decided that I was going to help. I signed up for my Personal Trainer course on Halloween.
2019: I was hired at LA Fitness, where I was promoted to a Master Trainer within three months. I spent my mornings, afternoons, and evenings here for three years. Learning more about my trade and falling absolutely in love with what I get to call “my job.”
2022: I took a leap of pure faith and started my own fitness and personal training business at 31 years old - happy and healthy.
Listen, I know what it’s like to not be able to walk up a flight of stairs, even walk at all because of pain, to not be able to get on the ground, do a sit up, a squat, or even get up off of the couch easily.
I chose to spend my life trying to help every person that doesn’t want to feel that way, because I've been there.
Just decide that you're ready.

"The gym and fitness was always something I struggled with. However, when I met Amanda and she became my trainer, made such a difference. She listens, she is mindful, she doesn’t judge, and she is your biggest cheerleader. She made the gym a place I actually enjoyed going and spending that training time with her. On my health journey, she helped me lose 50 pounds, and she helped me gain a confidence, a love, and an appreciation for my body and myself. There is no one better that I could ask to have in my corner." ❤️

"I have tried going to trainers in the past and I didn’t feel seen or heard. I would say I couldn’t do something due to previous injuries and pain. Those trainers would only hear I didn’t 'want' to do something and would just yell and tell me to push through. In my first meeting with Amanda I put it all on the table. I was ready to make a change. I gave all my history and that I don’t do yelling. Amanda worked with me to find exercises that would help me on my journey without risking further injury. I have been able to lose 50+ pounds and found joy in moving and going to the gym again. I no longer feel intimidated and know that I deserve to be in the space like everyone else."
"I really enjoy working with Amanda for the accountability and customization she provides for me. My schedule is very chaotic and we make it work each week. Each workout is tailored to my needs based on an assessment of my current mobility and strength. She has guided me towards reasonable and attainable goals. I really enjoy my one on one workouts with Amanda!"

"Amanda is an excellent trainer and is very knowledgeable. She listens to all your concerns, especially the ones pertaining to your fitness goals. She has helped me lose weight in addition to becoming more flexible. I have seen positive changes in things that used to be very difficult for me. Her programs and videos are personalized."

"I've always been skeptical of personal trainers employed by the gym. I can see them with their clients... They are just dying to move on to the next. They don't care about you, and most of them don't care about themselves. Amanda surprised me. She does care and she knows her stuff. No matter what happens with my self-care for the rest of my life... I will always call her a friend!"

"I can’t tell you how much Amanda has helped me with my weight-loss journey. I was in a slump and needed some motivation. Amanda designed a workout regimen tailored to my personal needs. She kept things interesting and it kept me excited to stay dedicated to myself. Helping me lose over 75lbs. Her guidance and commitment to her clients helped me become a whole new me!"

Both my husband and I have been training with Amanda since 2019. We enjoy the workouts she puts together for us as they are both challenging and fun. Sometimes she targets certain muscle groups, and sometimes it’s a full-body workout but it’s always fresh and new and is tailored to our individual needs separately.
Amanda’s knowledge of the musculoskeletal system & its limitations has been a terrific help as we both have some medical disadvantages. She keeps us active and the training has been great for our mental wellbeing also! I highly recommend Amanda as a trainer!
