“Hey! I’m Amanda. I am a mom, nurse, and weightlifting enthusiast. I have spent the last six years of my career working as a Registered Nurse in the Emergency Department. I received my bachelor's degree in nursing from Southwestern Oklahoma State University. If I am not going on adventures with my two wild children, you can find me at the gym. Aside from my certification in Personal Training, I am also certified in ACLS, PALS, TNCC and ENPC. My passion and goals revolve around helping empower women to cultivate their own physical, mental, and emotional strength through weightlifting.
My fitness journey began when my daughter was 6 months old. It took me weeks to work up the courage to step foot into a gym. I had gained 70 pounds during pregnancy and was extremely out of shape. I was scared and embarrassed to walk into a place where so many people were in better shape, stronger, and had confidence in what they were doing. When I finally went to my first CrossFit class, I hid in the bathroom after the WARM UP and dry heaved for 10 minutes. Then I went back out and pushed myself to finish the class.
While I have learned a lot over the years, it still took a long time to feel like I belonged under a barbell. It felt like something that was reserved for competitors, athletes, and people that could throw around a ton of weight. As I gained more confidence, weightlifting became almost an obsession. I fell in love with it. It’s given me more confidence in myself not only physically, but also mentally and emotionally. I am working to create a safe and comfortable space for women to become the strongest versions of themselves, regardless of experience level or starting point.
I’m excited to meet you and hear about how together we can make your fitness goals reality!”
