Personal Trainer Overview
I like to make the workouts different each time so you do not get bored. I like to bring different things to use in the workout such as a jump rope, bosu ball, weights and medicine ball to name a few.
Training Philosophy
For training I like to do circuits that include strength moves as well as cardio. By building muscle your body will be able to burn more calories after the workout and while including cardio into the workout you keep your heart rate up and burn more calories then if you were to stand and rest between sets. I like to adjust the workouts to each individuals goals and current level of fitness.
Education
BA in psychology from the University of New Mexico, Certified health coach through the institute of integrative nutrition
Bio
My name is Amy and I love personal training! First a little about my background. I have been active and participating in sports my whole life. As a kid I pretty much played every sport imaginable. In high school I focused on soccer, track, and cross country. I decided to pick one to excel in and soccer was the winner. I played soccer at a division I college. After college I started to do more running and have now run several marathons and half marathons. I am now shifting my focus to triathlons and am training to compete in Ironman 2012 here in Arizona. I love being active and doing things such as hiking, and playing racquet ball. I currently teach a spin class at a gym and have a great depth of experience coaching soccer and track.
My whole family is athletic and I have been surrounded by sports since as far back as I can remember. I have a twin sister who is also a personal trainer in the Philadelphia area. She is an elite rower and has represented the USA at Worlds in the past. My mom has run a marathon and half marathons and had us on the soccer field with her just weeks after giving birth. I love living a healthy active lifestyle and helping others to do the same!
