Amy P.
Ready to get strong, build confidence and feel good? Amy fell in love with strength training during her high school Volleyball team’s off-season, where they were introduced to the weight room. She loved the way that strength training made her feel strong and powerful. She felt more confident, empowered and started to see her body for what it could do, rather than what it looked like. With a passion for health and fitness, it was natural that Amy got certified to be a personal trainer in her senior year of college while pursuing her pre-med degree. She loved introducing her fellow college women to the weight room, where it was 95% male (read: frat bro) dominated. She loved helping them feel comfortable, not intimidated and confident enough to return to the weight room on their own. She has been coaching clients for 7 years and lives for getting her clients stronger, healthier and more confident. Her favorite part of coaching clients is seeing the way that building strength and confidence in the weight room oozes out into other areas of her client’s life.

Client Success Story
"I feel so much better physically and mentally, and I have more self confidence than I did 2 years ago. I can also see muscles that I haven't seen since High School!" -Richard B. "Amy was my favorite personal trainer and group instructor at CTF in Chicago. She was very creative, I always felt like an athlete when I was in her classes. She knew the exact things I was looking for in my PT sessions and a lot of the exercises I was able to do at home with little to no equipment. She is always upbeat and fun to work with. I learned a lot about proper stretching from her mobility classes. I highly recommend her for personal training and group classes." -Jen F. "I loved taking classes with Amy. She always pushed me to work a little harder without making me feel like I wasn't good enough. I found myself PR'ing in her class more than once. Amy knows what she's doing. On top of that, she's always working on improving herself as well, which is super impressive and inspiring as one of her students. She really lives by what she teaches, and you'll see that if you decide to train with her." -Claire G. "I am both physically and mentally stronger thanks to Amy." -Sarah M. "Amy always creates a safe space for us to push ourselves and test our limits. I hit THREE PRs today thanks to her encouragement!" -Liz K. "Amy's class was tough, but awesome. She's very motivational and made me feel comfortable with asking questions about how to do some of the exercises!" -Megan W.

What do I like about working with Amy? EVERYTHING. Working with Amy on intuitive eating and fitness was the best decision and purchase I made in 2021. She is professional, timely, detailed, thoughtful, responsive, dedicated, passionate, and so much more. She helped me heal my relationship with food and change the toxic thoughts I had about dieting, body image, and working out. Her sessions feel like therapy. She truly cares about her clients and their WHOLE life from relationships, work-life balance, sleep schedule, mental health, etc. The growth I made with her was life-changing. She helped me create habits that I will carry for the rest of my life and be healthier in all ways because of it. I love Amy!
Amy was amazing to work with. She was knowledgeable, patient, motivating, and flexible. I'd love the chance to workout with Amy again, and I couldn't recommend her enough!
Amy was an incredible coach! She provided me with tools and resources to create not only an enjoyable/healthy relationship with food and exercise, but a sustainable structure that I can take with me for the rest of my life. Her wholistic approach combined with her compassion for helping people was inspiring! I can't recommender her enough!
I was extremely grateful to have found Amy while on my hunt for a personal trainer. She was easy to communicate with & offered a variety of ways to train, whether it be online, in her personal gym space or at home. She made me feel very comfortable and listened to my goals and areas to focus on - I truly enjoyed our sessions. I watched myself progress & even did my first pull up after several weeks of training (it was a big moment for me). It feels really good to feel strong, mentally & physically. I highly recommend personal training - it's 100% worth it if your like me, and need the one on one guidance and motivation.
I got out of the habit of working out and needed some extra motivation and accountability, so I decided to train with Amy for a few months. We often met early mornings (6am! In the dark!) at a park near my house. She was always on time with a smile on her face, and she always came prepared with a great workout. Her strength training workouts were thoughtful and varied, but never too complicated. Amy has a sweet personality and was easy to work with. I appreciated that she offered exercise ideas for days I wasn't training with her, nutrition advice and encouraging tips on how to stay motivated. She has a very sensible, realistic approach to health - no extremes, which I liked. She made living healthy feel very approachable and doable. If you want some help with your fitness or health goals, work with Amy, you won't regret it!
I'm grateful I found Amy to help me with my fitness/health goals. I started training with her almost two years ago and stayed because I finally have the support that works for me. Now I am stronger and more confident than I ever have been - she tailors workouts and health coaching to my own experience, values and injuries. I have tried many fitness challenges, diets, etc. but they've all been ineffective as sustainable lifestyle or fitness goals. She's also a pleasure to be around! Always positive, professional, kind, and easy to talk to!
If you’re thinking about training with Amy - just do it because it is so worth it! Training with Amy was my first time working 1:1 with a personal trainer and she was the absolute best. She has a super comforting presence and knows when to push you (I started off with 10 pound dumbbells to lifting 145 pounds!!). & Time went by FAST training with her because not only was I putting in work, but we were also always laughing and just having a good time. I had never consistently worked out before, but always wanted to and she set me up for success to make this a long-term lifestyle. Now I actually want to work out and found a routine that’s enjoyable. Amy will forever have a special place in my heart for motivating me to work out, stick with it, and find enjoyment in being active :)
