Training Philosophy

Amie's philosophy on fitness is simple; creative, fun, effective and safe workouts combined with positive encouragement and healthy eating guidelines is the key to success! Each client is different, therefore, each fitness and health plan is tailored to the clients abilities, goals both short and long term, personality and dietary preference and restrictions. Each session will be challenging with aspects of cardio, body weight exercises, yoga/pilates/barre and deep stretching to improve cardiovascular performance, tone and strengthen muscles and create flexibility while reducing stress on the body. There will also be nutritional guidance along with easy recipes that promote healthy, organic and seasonal eating. All of these steps together will help each you become the healthiest version of you!
