Our Approach
The bodyfit by amy approach is designed with three key elements to create sustainable workouts that encourage you to return.
time efficient
My workouts go by quickly and focus on effectiveness rather than duration.
body strong
Let’s focus on the wins, not the losses – increased functionality, mobility, and strength are my favorite indicators of success!

My goal is to make you fall in love with exercise, and that means honoring rest, too. I will always remind you that if you showed up today, you are SUCCESSFUL, and I will always encourage you to BE WHERE YOU ARE TODAY!

Working out, crying, and wine. In that order. 😉

The Story So Far
PERSONAL TRAINER + FITNESS INSTRUCTOR
Growing up as an athlete and performer, I was always passionate about fitness and helping others. While in college, I became a certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor, then began a career working in gyms with all types of clients and classes.
THE START OF BODYFIT BY AMY
After years of working as a trainer and fitness instructor in gyms, my husband suggested we start a fitness YouTube channel in 2014. We cleared some space, bought some camera gear, and started making videos on the weekend, while also both working full time. That first year we made 100 videos, and we learned a lot, and wanted to keep the community growing.
what i did next
As we grew and the BodyFit by Amy community expanded, we added a monthly email and workout calendar and released several ebooks and programs. My workouts have always reflected where I am today, so when I got pregnant with my first child it was natural for me to shoot and share prenatal and postnatal videos. Through my own journey, I was able to connect with moms around the world during their pregnancy and postpartum journeys.
the other thing that happened
The BodyFit by Amy channel and community continued to grow organically, but when the pandemic hit in March of 2020, it went to an entirely different level. This community was a lifeline for me, and I felt like in a small way I was able to do my part by providing an online space for fitness.
where I’m going
The experience of 2020 showed me that the BodyFit community could have an even greater transformational impact. Vivian, our registered dietitian, joined us full time and in January of 2021, we reimagined the traditional gym experience with an international, virtual gym by launching the BodyFit Athletic Club. The result has been amazing, with over 500 people joining in the first 4 months.
