Hi! My name is Amber and I have been teaching at Phoenix Fitness and Yoga since 2020.
My fitness journey began in college when I took a cardio kick-boxing class, and my love of fitness has only continued to grow. Over the last two decades, I have dabbled in Hiit, Crossfit, Olympic Weightlifting, bodybuilding, cycling, and group fitness classes galore, but my heart belongs to strength training. In 2019, I earned my USA Weightlifting Level 1 certification for Olympic Weightlifting before becoming a Certified Personal Trainer through NASM in 2020. In 2021 I earned my Group Fitness Instructor certification through AFAA, and in March 2024 I completed the Phoenix 200hr Yoga Teacher Training.
Currently, I work for Staunton City Schools full time and lead group fitness classes, along with personal training sessions, in the evenings at Phoenix.
