MEET
AMANDA
"If you fall in love with the
journey, the results will come."
Amanda began to run competitively as a junior in high school, and not because she loved it, but because of her coach. In fact, she tried to quit a number of times. She couldn't wrap her head around the idea of putting
her body through continuous stress, pain and exhaustion. She was caught skipping practice and her coach would find her and drag her from the bleachers of the men's basketball game down to the track. She learned
the most crucial lesson that would shape her entire career:
HOW IT BEGAN
QUITTING
WASN'T AN
Why? Because she had someone to believe in her.
Amanda's gratitude for her own coaches inspired her to become one herself. She fell in love with the journey, which meant falling in love with the less glamorous parts: frustration, sickness, injuries, and failure sometimes. After running all four years in college and leaving with school records under her belt, she continued to run because she had
a taste of possibility and all that came from hard work and dedication.
Now she was able to see what she couldn't in high school:
the opportunity for growth.
Amanda moved to NYC in 2019 with the goal to move, to teach movement, and to
make movement FUN. After taking too many Barry's Bootcamp classes to count, she became
obsessed with the workout. It made her feel like an athlete again. She loved the physical and mental
changes she saw, and craved to be apart of it from within. She took her running knowledge to teach group fitness classes to her Barry's FitFam in Westchester and followed that dream to New York City. Barry's created a larger vision for her and what she saw possible for her own fitness outside of just running, and
she knew that was the feeling she wanted to create for everyone who walks into the red room. Since then, she has further deepened her relationship with fitness to create that same experience in a 1:1 setting.
New York City allowed Amanda to form more connections than she ever thought possible.
Amanda found a new home, community, and a career for the long run.
GROWING INTO NYC
MY COACH BELIEVED IN ME.
NOW,I BELIEVE IN YOU.
I know that a committed relationship to your fitness is exhausting, and that it might take an extra push to get out the door some days. I promise you, it's all worth it for those moments you feel freaking awesome. I want to help you feel and see what I didn't see at first, but now am living out. The rush of positive feelings that follow you through your daily life outside of fitness. When you (and I) push you beyond your comfort zone.
