Fitness Philosophy:

“Motivation is the stuff that keeps you going every single day. The motivation is on a daily basis. What are you going to do in order to follow through on that spark? So you’ve lit the match, now what? It’s that daily motivation of waking up every morning saying, “I want to do it, I want to be the best that I can be because I want to achieve the things that inspire me to make me feel great.” – Jay Cutler

Fitness Philosophy:

Amy has dedicated her life to health and fitness and truly enjoys helping others do the same.  She believes that total wellness can be achieved by everyone-regardless of age, gender, or fitness background.  Adding exercise and proper nutrition to one’s life is the key to a future of wellness.

Amy deems that the proper wellness equation involves balancing fitness and eating.  She is an avid believer in weight and resistance training, along with cardiovascular exercise.  She provides her clients with a balanced mix of both, as well as some Pilates exercises for total overall fitness health.

In today’s society, eating has become about much more of convenience rather than about fueling our bodies in a healthy way.  Amy is passionate about “clean eating” and strives to share her philosophy about it with everyone that she meets.  Proper nutrition is not only imperative for weight management, but also energy, longevity, and even disease prevention.  Amy aims to help people not just make changes in their life, but in their lifestyle.
