Putting the aesthetics to the side, Courtney loves the empowering feeling of pushing hard in a workout and breaking down any mental barriers we face in life. To help someone overcome any struggles, and achieve their goals is her motivator! Courtney wants to help anyone grow and feel confident in their body.

Favorite Quote: “What seems impossible today will become your warm-up tomorrow!”
Ammie is so excited to work with y'all because she loves helping people build healthy habits that end up being sustainable because 1) we find what works for you regardless of your circumstances and 2) we make it both fun and effective so that you want to do the work.
Ammie's sports background started out focused on gymnastics, which led to some weight training and running, which then led to bodybuilding, powerlifting, and currently half Ironman triathlons as well as marathons. That may sound exhausting but has taught Ammie all about what cardio can (and can't) do to improve body composition, as well as the roles strength training and nutrition play in fitness. Everyone has a next step and Ammie is looking forward to helping you find yours!
