Help us welcome our newest trainer to the studio, Amy! đź’«
Amy is a 12-year US Navy veteran who served as both a sonar technician and a foreign language analyst. Before leaving the Navy, she began working with sailors who didn’t pass the semi-annual physical readiness test — taking them to the weight room, training alongside them, and earning her first personal training certification before being discharged. She briefly worked as a trainer in Georgia before moving back to New York to return to school.
A lifelong learner in every sense, Amy now holds two associate degrees, a bachelor’s degree in Marine Environmental Science, and is completing a master’s degree in energy policy and climate.
Amy ran cross-country and track as a teenager and began weight training seriously at 25. She’ll be the first to tell you how fortunate she feels to have stumbled onto that “hobby” — because it’s made life easier, helped her maintain her independence, and kept her active in ways she values deeply. She got recertified recently because she wants to inspire more people, especially older women, to discover that same strength. It is never too late.
