Meet Amanda

My name is Amanda, and I am a NASM certified personal trainer and Women's Fitness Specialist (WFS). I am a mom of three children; a girl and two boys and a wife to a hard-working husband. I love art, cooking, hiking, and everything summer. Being in the water is my happy place, whether it's a lake, beach, or stream to walk through. When my youngest son was born, I found myself gaining weight instead of bouncing back after pregnancy. Before I knew it, I was 250 lbs, couldn't keep up with the kids, and needed naps every day to get by. My family has a history of diabetes and heart conditions, and this was not the path I wanted to take. I began pursuing someone to help me. I joined a gym with a lot of hesitation! I was scared! I didn't know what to expect. My personal trainer was great! He encouraged me every step of the way, and even when I felt I wasn't doing so great, he kept telling me, "you're doing fantastic," "congratulations on showing up today," "you can't do it yet, but you will." I felt welcomed. I felt safe. He was giving me the direction I needed to be successful and to feel good about myself. With his help and several other trainers at the gym, I lost 80 lbs. I was healthy, felt great, and now the tables had turned, and my kids were the ones that couldn't keep up. I decided I wanted nothing more than to give back to others the experience I had had and allow them to feel good the way I felt good. Training became my passion! I look forward to working with clients every day and helping them to celebrate their successes, big and small. My goal in life is to create the same safe, comfortable, and encouraging environment that I was given and help others reach their goals and feel good about achieving them. For this reason, I am a personal trainer, and this is why I have created Be The Solution Fitness LLC. So that I can help all of you be YOUR solution.
