This is what her clients say about her...
“I LOVED our coaching sessions and looked forward to talking to Amy every week and seeing what runs she had in store for me. Amy was so pleasant and easy to work with. I loved the ability to communicate with her through Voxer. Would highly recommend the one-on-one coaching if you're someone like me who has a very specific goal in mind." - J.M.
“I would recommend working with Amy because she is honest and realistic about goals and activities. She was able to bring me to a place where I felt fit and understood healthy ways to deal with setbacks. We had fun during our coach calls. I was able to be transparent and honest about my running journey and struggles. She was able to create a realistic fitness routine week to week." - S.C.
"Amy is more than a coach, she's a mentor, she's a leader and approaches running and training with a fun, graceful style. She shows grace and appreciation for what you do/don't attempt, she makes you understand this is all a part of the process, and you're already successful. She helped me understand the role of heart rate, timed training, zone training, cadence – all things I did not understand prior to working with Amy. She helped me understand my body better, what it is capable of, and the role of nutrition, sleep and previous day activities in what feels good when I get out to run." - L.T.
