Your body is your home. Treat it well.
Your life is your art. Let it move you.
Hi, I’m Amanda.
A movement teacher with a penchant for philosophical pontification, a poet with a love of bicycles.
I offer meaningful exercise programs for women over 40 with an emphasis on technique-based strength training, targeted mobility, sensible cardio and breath work.

What clients + students say:
“I have worked for 30 years as an orthopedic physical therapist and Amanda Ford is the most skilled and talented person I have worked with in the area of strength and conditioning. Her understanding of body mechanics and creative progression of exercises is exceptional. She is an inspiration to be with and simply a gem of a person.”

It’s never too late, but don’t wait!
You can start anytime, under any circumstances.
You can start on a random Tuesday afternoon.
You can start when you are busy, tired, anxious, ashamed, uncertain.
You can even start before you are ready.
It’s never too late to begin, change course or fine-tune.
A simple action is all you need.
Just take one small step in the direction you’d like to go.
The question is not: How quickly can you achieve your dreams?
The question is: How consistently can you take action in ways that move you toward your dreams?
May you feel more confident and capable.
May you move your body every day in a way that feels good to you.
May your body become stronger, swifter, your mind more graceful and agile.
May your self-talk become kinder and your actions less punishing.
May you have the capacity to meet the challenges and adventures that life brings your way.
