Amy Evert - Personal Training & Fitness

There is a girl in the back row of Zumba. She is quiet and unsure. Maybe even a little awkward. She woke up early and immediately stepped on the scale. How else would she know how much or little she could eat that day? She thinks there is no way this distorted view of healthy eating could possibly be an eating disorder. Do you know her? Are you her? I know her personally. She is ME. Or at least, was me for the longest time, but no more. I am finally becoming the empowered and confident woman I was meant to be. My journey here has not been easy. Most journeys are not. Mine began with a terrifying Grand Mal seizure in 2012. I had been having unknown natural seizures for years before being diagnosed with Tumor Onset Epilepsy. My world practically came to a halt. I lost my license and had to leave the teaching profession I adored. Suddenly, dangerous surgeries and chances of seizures were dictating my life. I felt powerless. However, this was not a power I was willing to give up. I asked myself, "What is something I can control in my life?" I started simple. I could find a ride to Zumba and Boot Camp. Fitness was one aspect of my life that I could control. Plus, I enjoyed it. I started subbing as a Zumba and fitness instructor and I returned to work on my college degree for Advanced Personal Training and Exercise Science.
In 2014, while in my final months of school, I began teaching my own strength training classes inside of a church and building my client base. When I graduated, I started training personal clients at Elite Fitness. I now train all of my clients at this location and hold my classes here as well.
My philosophy is based upon the belief that we can start our journey at any time and accomplish anything we set our mind to. Even if you have never set foot inside a gym or played a sport, your body is capable of amazing things and there is no better time than now.
My clients and their goals are all extremely important to me and I am 100% committed to helping each one reach their own personal goals.
I have been featured in GORGO Magazine, a modern fitness magazine. Gorgo is a magazine designed for women tired of magazines filled with fluffy workouts, retouched models, and diet quick fixes.
I can promise that I will do everything to make you feel comfortable in your workout, no matter your fitness level, goals, or age in any aspect of my training- Classes, Personal, or Semi-Personal.
I hope that you will join me soon!!
