PT Clients Reviews
Ken
"I always think a Personal Trainer should be supportive, motivating, meticulous and resourceful. Not only does coach Amie embody all these attributes, but she is also a very caring and loving person. Apart from all the techniques and skills she’s taught me, she has helped build my confidence by constantly pointing out the little milestones (e.g. heavier weight, better posture, more reps) I have had. She also tirelessly helped correct my posture for squats, deadbug and floor kneeling hip hinge. I am beyond grateful to coach Amie for all she has done."
Daniel
"I’ve been doing personal training with Amie for several months now and can only sing her praises. From day one she’s helped me feel more comfortable at the gym, been a constant source of motivation, and has really helped me step up to start achieving my goals. She’s an awesome person to spend time with (DJ, football player, baker, musician – what can’t she do?), and an absolute wealth of knowledge when it comes to fitness and strength training. Amie has been amazing at creating a program that works well for me, and has me constantly improving and learning. I’m feeling stronger, more confident in and out of the gym, and always look forward to the mornings I get to start by training with her."
Saesha
"Amie has been such a wonderful support. She constantly pushes me out of my comfort zone and has made me feel so strong, healthy, and happy!! Amie has been amazing at helping me work to achieve my goals safely. She’s always there with a smile and a joke and will always help you no matter what! I’m so glad I found her, she’s not only a wonderful trainer but has become a great friend too!!"
Gudrun
"I came to Amie with a long run of health issues that had been getting in the way of my gym routine and fitness. She immediately made me feel heard and understood, adapting workouts based on my energy levels that particular day. I’ve come to Amie on days when I could barely walk to the gym, and somehow she’s gotten me through a little workout and I’ve left feeling a little lighter each time. Amie is so kind, supportive and also hilarious! I’m so much more capable of managing my chronic pain and fatigue when I know that I will have a workout with Amie every week. It keeps me going back into the gym. It’s so clear how much Amie cares about all of her clients and their individual journeys, I cannot recommend her highly enough."
Samantha
"From my first personal training session at Fitness Playground, Amie has gone above and beyond to make my experience nothing short of amazing. Not only has she taught me so much about physical fitness, but she’s helped me with my nutrition and overall health. As a result, I have a much more motivated and positive mentality towards my health and fitness. I genuinely look forward to every session we have together. Each session is challenging but so rewarding. I am so excited to go on this journey with Amie and cannot recommend her enough – if you’re looking for a trainer to change your life, look no further!"
