I did not decide I wanted to be an athlete one day. It took time, patience and a lot of hard work. I grew up playing sports my entire life. Movement and sports was all I knew as a child. There were no weekends off in the summer.  Every week I was questioning  what hotel or gym I was playing at for the upcoming AAU basketball tournament. I became a pro at living on the road. 10 pairs of fresh socks in my duffle bag and I was good. My parents, my aunts, and my uncles were my biggest supporters growing up. My family was very athletic so all of my cousins would be at the same basketball tournaments together. We got to spend every weekend together playing the game we love which has shaped me into the athletic mother I am today. Not only did I play basketball growing up, I also ran track.

“I would rather join the military right now then go back to track practice” was what I said to my mom after my first practice in 6th grade. Turns out I was good. I had a natural stride and a lot of speed. That stride carried me through to eventually go on to run track on a scholarship at Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia. While at SJU I got my major in Communications, I wanted to be a sports new anchor, and I also received my minor in marketing. By my senior year I ended up being a part of 4 school record relay teams. I graduated and decided to stay in Philadelphia. I worked at many gyms throughout the city. I worked at Oranget

heory, Flywheel, AFC Fitness, and the YMCA which is where I started my fitness career. I then worked my way up and became the Athletic Ambassador of Philadelphia and hosted bootcamps and runs all over the city. I worked with Lululemon, Athleta, and local running stores to put the runs on. When covid hit I saw a huge change in the fitness industry that I absolutely loved. I went on to create my own online fitness and nutrition business, AMFITNESS LLC. Which is where I am at today. I can successfully say I am living my dream owning my own business while helping others achieve their fitness goals.

My Mission:

I will help you mentally and physically achieve your fitness goals. It starts from your mind. I will help you turn, “ I can't do this” into “I can do this” and “I am able to do this.”  

If there is one thing I love more than reaching a new personal goal, it is helping others achieve their goals.

My 4 Rules for fitness:

  1. Set achievable goals

  2. Celebrate the small wins along the way

  3. Enjoy the journey

  4. Honor yourself

Most of us fail because we want results right away. My end goal is for you to build and stick to a sustainable routine that matches your fitness needs while keeping your social life. IT IS 100% DOABLE.

 

MY PASSIONS

  • My Husband

    He supports and encourages me to do what I love which is helping others, every single day. He has taught me love and kindness. He is my everything.

  • My Child

    My daughter has brought more joy to my life than I could ever image. She has given me a new why behind everything I do especially helping others. Playing and having energy to be able to take care of your child is essential and my goal is for my clients to create these memories that last a life time pain free that provide longevity and healthy habits.

  • Hiking

    I love spending time on unfamiliar roads in the middle of nowhere- It reminds me of life. Who knows where life will take us but lets keep walking. I try to capture the world's beauty everywhere I go.

  • Coffee

    If you can't appreciate a cup of coffee, you cant enjoy the smalls things in life :)
