Amanda’s Journey

Amanda shares her personal story, mindset shifts, and more about her 1-on-1 life-changing program.

Don’t Just Take Our Word for It

The fitness industry is often preoccupied with numbers on a scale. Amanda reminded me that there is so much joy in movement. With her I focused on getting strong, improving my form, and dedicating myself to holistic, sustainable lifestyle change.

When I started, I was constantly exhausted and working long hours. Amanda helped me find balance in my life again. She reminded me to take care of myself, to fuel myself with good food, to focus on a good night’s sleep, to hit hard and to lift heavy!

Amanda helped me feel confident in the gym, something I never thought was possible. I love dead lifts and I love Amanda’s programs. She’s really funny too!

Amanda is an amazing coach!

She helps curb negative self talk in a fun but loving way! Like correcting me by saying “you can’t do that “yet” She’s always lifting me up and is there to believe in me when I don’t always believe in myself.

If you’ve thought about checking out a class, the first one is free and I’m sure you won’t regret it! It’s a fun non judgmental atmosphere with every fitness level welcomed!

Like she said “Discover what you can do!”

 

Alesha Farren

You will not find a more invested coach and friend- someone who caters to and accommodates each person individually. She is truly passionate about what she does and it shows through her work and dedication.

I look forward to every session and have been attending for over 4 years now. I am proud of the goals I have achieved mentally and physically, and thank Amanda for her encouragement and knowledge.

As part of my friend’s Bachelorette, we decided to do something a little different – Kickboxing. Being someone with anxiety, at the beginning of our session, my mind was racing and I almost fell into a panic attack.

Amanda made those bad feelings cease. She talked me down and made me feel more welcome than I ever thought was possible! Once I began to participate, I didnt want the session to end!

She knows her stuff, and teaches it in a fun yet professional manner. Thank you so much, Amanda. We all really enjoyed our session!!!

I started working with Amanda a few months ago. I have a disability that makes me feel dizzy and I have balance issues. Amanda has helped me get my exercises in while working around my dizziness and balance.

I feel much stronger now. Thank you, Amanda….you have no idea how much I appreciate all your help.

Its affordable, a heck of a workout and all are welcome

I’ve been hitting up KickBasics Health Studio for just under 3 months to date. It’s probably the best decision I’ve made this year. I have no background in any kind of sporting or combat activities.

After one class with Amanda (Owner/ Instructor) I was hooked. The whole class is laughing and supporting each other, there is sweat pouring down my face as my brain fires of dopamine by the end of class I’m exhausted but extremely happy.

I find myself working my schedule around kickboxing classes because I don’t want to miss one. Three months in and I’m sleeping better, my breathing is better as someone with asthma and I’m happier in general. Also, it helps I’ve lost 20lbs so far and that’s always nice.
