Train with Amanda

My career in fitness began in 2009 after graduating from the National Personal Training Institute with a diploma in personal training and nutrition consulting. Like many trainers, my own journey started with lifting weights and “clean eating,” and the physical transformation hooked me fast. That path led me into bodybuilding, where I competed in six shows over two years and earned four first-place titles.

From the outside, it looked like success. Behind the scenes, my health was falling apart.

I lost my menstrual cycle for three years, lived in a binge–restrict cycle, dealt with daily digestive pain, and developed a obsessive relationship with food and my body. Eventually, I stepped away from competing because I needed to heal.

Then after years of unresolved gut issues and surface-level advice, I discovered functional medicine and holistic health. In 2023, I became a Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor and Holistic Health Practitioner. By applying what I learned, I restored my digestion, balanced my hormones, and built a physique I’m proud of- without extremes, food fear, or living in the gym.

Today, I help clients transform their body composition while supporting gut and hormone health through customized workouts, nutrition, and holistic health strategies.
