Group Nutrition Coaching
Our Signature Group Coaching Program helps you understand how to eat real food for health and desired weight so you can look and feel your absolute best.
After many years of coaching clients one on one in Nutrition Coaching, Amber has created a Group Nutrition Coaching program to take your understanding of nutrition and your accountability to achieving your nutrition goals to the next level. Knowing what to do is one thing, but applying the knowledge and practicing the skills are where the magic happens. Application and staying consistent is where most of our clients struggle and fail. It’s time to change that! Amber’s new program aims to make your physical goals a reality!
Rocking Menopause
I created this Program after many years of training ladies who are frustrated with the changes that happen during and after menopause. I’ve been there as they gain extra fat, suffer from low energy, sleep terribly and experience a multitude of other symptoms.
The good news is that there are proven methods to help you deal with many of the symptoms you are experiencing. Rocking Menopause is an online educational Program full of information to help walk you through how to look and feel better!

About Amber
My passion is health and fitness. I live it…each and every day. I have always been active, loving sports and working out. PE was my favorite class. In high school, I was introduced to Group Exercise and that is where my fitness life began. I started teaching Aerobics at 16 and when I went to college, I got certified through AFAA for Group Exercise. I have taught numerous classes over the years, Step, Cardio Kickboxing, Circuit, Spinning, Yoga, Mat and Reformer Pilates, Urban Strip Tease, Ab and Glutes, and Hi/Lo Aerobics. My early beginnings in the Group Ex world have given me an abundance of exercises to use in my workouts with clients. Following a Fitness Program is important, but being able to incorporate different exercises and formats keeps it fresh and fun for the client.
On top of a College Education, I have several certifications and trainings from some of the top Fitness Companies in the business.I am an ACE certified Personal Trainer and I keep this certification current by completing Continuing Education Courses and re-certifying my CPR and AED courses every two years. Each year I attend an educational conference to keep abreast of changes in the field and to learn new information. I am constantly reading and learning about all things health and fitness related.
I’m also a presenter for SCW Fitness. I have presented on numerous topics including Training the FAB Woman: Fifty and Beyond, Golden Nutrition for Active Agers, Nutrition Coaching for the General Population, SAD Plan, SAD People and Recovery Techniques for the Active Ager.

Philosophy
I believe in teaching people how to change their behaviors and choices to have a healthier lifestyle. I believe in moving your body and eating well. I do not agree with fad diets, supplements, or any quick fix food or exercise programs. I know that consistency, working your program day in and day out, is what leads to success.
As a young girl, I played basketball and for four years was a Cheerleader in High School. In College, I played recreational softball and was on the Southern Explosion Dance team for 3 years. Although I have been active all of my life, I had a terrible diet. I loved junk food and fast food and I still have a massive sweet tooth. I started to take note of my food choices when I began my training for competing in Figure Competitions. Over the course of two years, I trained and prepared for two Competitions, Gainesville Classic in 2010 and Jax Physique in 2011. During my competition prep, I learned how very important nutrition and proper training is to creating the body you need to be able to step on stage.
I am grateful for the knowledge I gained during this time, but I realized there are some negative aspects to competing and I no longer wanted to subject myself to this lifestyle. Now, my focus is on weight training to maintain my muscle mass. I love to workout with weights and this is my primary source of exercise. My diet is balanced with as many whole foods as I can get and the proper combination of carbohydrates, fats and protein. I have learned to meal plan and usually spend Sundays creating most of my meals for the week. I enjoy participating in races and try to do at least one a year. I usually run half marathons. I have a goal to complete a marathon. Currently, I am training for a duathlon, a race where you run, bicycle, and run.
One of my most important lessons learned is that striving for true health is a lifestyle. Each day, I need to make choices that lead to good health. Behavior change is something I have worked on and continue to work on as I desire to live a healthy and happy life.
