It’s incredible how she has complete confidence in her clients abilities & strength and knows how to push you just that little bit further. Amy always emphasizes movement and proper technique. Every workout is challenging and fun. I have been blown away by her knowledge, style of workouts but also by her kindness. It has been a while since I’ve felt this confident in a gym environment.
