Individual Coaching

Whatever your vision or goal, we can get you there.

Notice what’s going right

and build on that.

I can help you:

  • Cut through the confusing messages from the fitness industry to build an exercise program that is sane, enjoyable and gets you the results you want.

  • Work with and around injury, musculoskeletal pain and illness.

  • Build a safe strength training program to help improve bone mineral density and reverse osteopenia and osteoporosis.

  • Create a movement practice to nourish you through and beyond menopause in a way that considers the unique physical needs of this time and honors the transition to a new phase of life.

  • Learn to eat with ease and nourish your body in ways that support balanced blood sugar, healthy metabolism, optimal body composition and reduced inflammation.

  • Sense your body in the present moment with simple embodiment practices to stay grounded during times of stress.

  • Take delight in and take care of your body with strength training, cardiovascular exercise, targeted mobility and movement play.

What clients + students say:

"In her enthusiastic and competent style, she tailored a program that eased me into this new world of strength training. Our sessions are creative, interactive and effective. She’s patient as well as encouraging. After a year and a half I’m stronger than at any other time in my life and look forward to every appointment with Amanda. Truly the best fitness decision I’ve ever made!"

-Lauren Snider

"Last year I had 20 broken bones from a bicycle accident. Now, one year later and thanks to my personal trainer, Amanda Ford, no one would guess. She is not just a personal trainer; she is a movement expert. She knows anatomy like a physician, and can train anyone to a place of body integration, strength and flexibility. She saved my life by giving me my body, and hence my physicalness, back. I can never thank her enough."

What clients + students say:

"Amanda supported me in my desire to get fit for a three week trek in Nepal. She knew exactly what I needed to prepare for my adventure and tailored a program of strength training and cardio work which was challenging, but achievable. I always felt she was my partner, cheering me on to the next level. When Amanda is with you, she gives you 100% of her attention and her passion for helping others meet their goals is inspiring and uplifting.Training with Amanda was a wonderful gift I gave myself!"

-Kas Baker

"I have been to other trainers but think Amanda has something a little extra and special. Amanda knows so many disciplines and incorporates them all. My body is better balanced and looks less flabby. I feel better no matter what I am doing, hiking, running, even walking. I can just tell I am stronger overall. Amanda is a really chill, and sincere person. That should not be trivialized when working with a trainer because if you are like me (and many others) you may have some issues about your body, or strength, or health or whatever. Amanda will put you at ease, I promise!"
