Amanda is a Swedish gal who has practiced all kinds of sports for as long as she can remember. Her father owned a gym when she was born and had a karate dojo built in to it, so karate ended up being her base sport. Amanda has tried most sports, but it wasn't until she met her husband who had a love for the gym that she truly became infatuated with it herself. Amanda loves the challenge of pushing herself to the limit. She is a huge believer in mind over matter and use that mindset in everything she does. Yoga certainly comes in handy for this practice and is a staple for her. Amanda is dedicated to helping others achieve their health and fitness goals, and in turn she appreciates the process of learning more and more about herself through their experiences.
