Rise with Confidence

Foster Community Connections

Not just any personal trainer, your partner in building a strong body that supports your hormones, energy, and life.

I offer autoimmune-informed, personalized coaching for women who want to train smarter, build lasting strength, and feel confident in their bodies again.

My mission is to help shift the narrative, so women get the representation, research, and results they deserve.

Your Story of Transformation

I know firsthand what it feels like to live in a body that doesn’t always cooperate. After being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, I spent years feeling like fitness either ignored my reality or pushed me into burnout. Through trial, error, and refinement, I discovered that strength training, done with compassion and strategy, was the key to rebuilding my energy, confidence, and resilience.

Today, I’m not just stronger in the gym. I’m stronger as a mom, a wife, and a coach. That transformation fuels my mission: helping other women discover that their bodies are not broken. With the right approach, you can lift, move, and live with strength that lasts.

Build Unshakeable Strength

Through my program, you'll develop physical strength that endures beyond the gym, helping you tackle daily challenges with ease. This isn't about temporary gains; it's about creating a foundation for lifelong vitality. Expect to feel more capable and energized in every aspect of your life, from parenting to personal pursuits.

My faith-forward sessions foster a deep sense of self-assurance, allowing you to embrace your body's capabilities without judgment. You'll learn to navigate life's ups and downs with a positive mindset, turning self-doubt into empowerment. This confidence radiates into your relationships and daily decisions, making you feel truly unstoppable.

Navigate Life's Transitions

My provide tools to handle shifts like motherhood or midlife with grace and strength, integrating practical strategies into your routine. This approach ensures you're prepared for whatever comes next, reducing stress and building adaptability. You'll emerge more resilient, ready to face new chapters with optimism and poise.

What do people say about Amy?

Don't just take it from me!

Megan S.

Before working with Amy, I had never lifted weights and honestly didn’t think I’d ever enjoy working out. But she made the gym feel like a welcoming and empowering space. Her guidance, encouragement, and knowledge helped me build both confidence and strength. Now, weightlifting is something I genuinely look forward to—and I owe that transformation to her incredible coaching.

Hope M.

As a former collegiate athlete, training with Coach Amy has healed my relationship with lifting and strength training. After taking time off, she helped me ease back in with workouts that feel safe, empowering, and sustainable. She’s taught me proper technique, the importance of breath work, and how to leave the gym feeling accomplished, without the pressure to drain myself. I feel comfortable, confident, and stronger training with her!

Hallie E.

I enjoyed training with coach Amy. She is open and honest and truly listens to her athletes. She adapted workouts when needed and provided several modification options to fit my needs. She pushed me out of my comfort zone and gave helpful feedback to improve my form and technique, which allowed me to lift with more confidence.

FAQ

I’m worried about flares. Will training make it worse?

I plan for flare variability with built-in pacing, RPE caps, and deloads. If a flare hits, you’ll have a movement menu and recovery plan.

Do I need experience?

Nope. I’ll teach technique and scale loads safely.

Can I train during perimenopause?

Yes, and you should—strength supports muscle, bone, and mood. I match intensity to your recovery.
