Meet Amanda
My journey as a fitness professional began just after my 21st birthday. I was overweight, lacked energy and could hardly walk 30 minutes without being out of breath. I saw photos and video footage of myself from my birthday party and realised that my lifestyle needed to change.
In my final year of school and after graduating, I wasn't very active and ate whatever I felt like. At my heaviest I was easily a size 16/XL and the last weight I saw on the scales was 81kg. In this time, I also experienced bad sciatica and issues with my knees and back. I decided enough was enough and joined a gym to get my life back. I enjoyed participating in group fitness classes and after a few years of attending thought it would make a great career choice.
In 2005 I completed my fitness certification, which was the first step to bring me to where I am today. Over the last 20 years, I have completed a Diploma in Fitness, other specialised fitness qualifications and worked in many capacities within different types of leisure and recreation facilities.
I am passionate about helping people live happy, healthy and active lives. I look forward to being a part of your healthy lifestyle and seeing you live a fulfilling life.
