MeetAmanda
Born and raised in Hastings, Nebraska, Amanda has always been a mover and a shaker. At three, her parents put her in ballet and tap, eventually tacking on just about any sport that kept her moving. Long hours on the field and in the studio turned to long hours in the weight room, doing 6 AM ‘agilities’ with the football players and learning the importance of persistence and dedication to your craft.
Her persistence earned her a degree at the prestigious Oklahoma City University School of Dance and, upon graduation, the role of principal dancer with Royal Caribbean Ships.
From her ship docked in New Jersey, Amanda rolled her bags over to NYC, and before long she was rediscovering her roots in those 6 AM agilities. Amanda’s ‘no-secret-sauce, just do the work’ approach to fitness has made her a sought-after group instructor, personal trainer, and program coordinator on the ground floor of the NYC fitness industry. A founding trainer of The Fhitting Room and BFX, she’s branched into the digital fitness world, programming and teaching for Aaptiv, NEOU, and TRX.
Amanda is NASM CPT, PROnatal (Levels I & II), AFAA Perinatal, AFAA Group Fitness, KettleBell Concepts, CPR/AED, TRX, and Nutritious Life Nutrition Certified.
When she’s not coaching, she is spending time with her three children Alexis, Parker, Logan, and husband, Pablo. Every Sunday, you can find two gratefully exhausted parents splitting a chocolate chip walnut cookie at Levain Bakery.
