I have to start at the beginning.  In the spring of 2011 Amber came to me asking that we begin running together.  I said, you KNOW I’m not a runner!  She said, we will begin easy and I need someone who will be committed with me!  So that was the beginning of my love for running.  She started me with the couch to 5K plan and by the spring of 2012, we were making plans to run our first half marathon, the Soaring Wings Half Marathon which is USATF certified rolling course, so it is challenging, but I loved it and I continue to run it each year!  Most recently, after a hamstring injury, I developed a shortened stride, which corrupted my pace, breathing and stamina, but, she has helped me regain proper stride and breathing technique  so my love for running has returned and my pace is improving with each run!

When I started, I had no idea what I was doing and now I do. The programs she sets up are quick and easy to follow. It's challenging but not punishing and I'm enjoying the experience so much. I'm lifting more weight than I ever thought I could and have stuck with the program longer than I ever thought I would. Thanks, Amber!

Amber has taught me that I’m more than I realize, I’m more than the negative thoughts in my head. I’m more than a number on a scale, I’m more than a dumbell, and I’m more than whatever it is that I’m working on. I spent so much time focusing on that number on the scale that these non-scale have to be what matter for me. We set things like being able to get out of the floor without pulling up on anything, and being able to cross my legs, and being able to wear shorter dresses, and wear short sleeves, but she has me doing a jar with victories that are both scale and non-scale to remind myself that I am moving in the right direction.

So, Amber is awesome. She is there to push me and she does just enough that I still want to show up again the next time. For me, I need somebody that is going to hold me accountable, and she does that. She's really good to remind me that whenever I get down on myself or lose motivation, this is a long process and it doesn't happen overnight and getting discouraged sometimes is normal. It's really exciting for me to be able to lift 'big girl weights' (as I call it) like back squats, and deadlifts and I'm seeing muscle definition and it's so exciting and I couldn't do it without her. She's awesome.

Thank you for all you have done. I wish I lived closer so you could coach me in person!

My husband and I struggled with getting pregnant for over a year and it took a toll on me physically and emotionally. And finally in 2016 we found out we were pregnant, with TWINS! No fertility, just the power of prayer and our amazing God answering our prayers with His timing! Over the course of an 8 month pregnancy, (twins delivered early by emergency C Section,) I gained 120 pounds! That’s equivalent to another person! I’ve always struggled with weight loss and the weight I had gained had a HUGE impact on my health, blood pressure, and back issues. Not to mention my emotional and mental struggle. After talking with my husband, I met with Amber and we discussed my goals. I’m not talking about the everyday “I want to lose 50 pounds” or “I want to be skinny” goals. We dug deep and really broke down my ultimate goal of wanting to be healthy inside and out and how we were going to get there. She took all of my information, medical history, etc. and created a workout plan JUST FOR ME! She knows that I am a VERY busy, full-time working, wife and mom of twins. She took all of that into account and has put together the PERFECT workouts! She pushes me to limits that I didn’t realize I could reach. Over the course of just 2.5 weeks I’ve already lost weight and inches and this is just the beginning! Whatever your goals may be; running, losing weight, toning, learning how to fuel your body, etc. Amber is your girl! You will immediately see and feel the passion that she has to love on women, help women, and empower them!

Amber helped me believe in myself and I completed my race having run further than I ever have before.

I’m noticing changes in my body and feeling stronger everyday. Amber pushes me and encourages and cheers me on. I’m so glad we teamed up.

Words can't express how happy I am with the results. Thank you for helping me with this journey. You make working out fun.

I had heart surgery to fix a birth defect and needed to gain weight back that I had lost while I had been sick. Plus I wanted to gain some strength and fill out my clothes again and Amber has been able to help me do that all while staying within doctor's orders. I'm feeling awesome and quickly being in the best shape of my life in my 30's and that's counting the fact that I played ball in high school. Plus, having your wife as your coach is pretty sweet. 🙂

I am LOVING learning all these new machines and exercises. This program has really made me branch out and I feel so much stronger, added some healthy weight and more confidence!

I had previously worked with another trainer and had a really bad experience and I wasn’t sure how I was going to reach my goals. With Amber, your goals become her goals and I’m stronger than I ever have been. I’m crushing it.

Running has always intimidated me and I believed for a long time that I wouldn’t be good at it. But with Amber’s help, all of that has changed. She helped me set realistic goals, answered my endless questions, and is genuinely interested in my fitness journey and success. She is passionate and driven and inspires me to be the same! She has also made herself available whenever I had a question or needed support which makes her one awesome trainer. I look forward to continuing under her training and its the best money I’ve ever spent on myself! I’d encourage anyone to go with Amber if they are looking for personalized training programs and a coach that will be there every step of the way!
