Meet Amy, she is the newest member of the Body Confidence Team however she has been training with us for a couple of years.
Amy is a mum to 3 gorgeous, polite and very energetic boys! So, she has her hands full already however last year through all the chaos Amy gained her qualification as a Group Fitness instructor and we snapped her up straight away!
Amy's background is in education. She has taught in primary classrooms in Goondiwindi, Toowoomba, Dalby and Rockhampton before starting her family. She majored in Health and Physical Education as she believes encouraging young people to be active and involved in sports promotes a lifelong love of physical activity. Amy is now completing her Personal Training certificate as adult fitness training can be more flexible around her growing family.
She is currently running the mum's classes in Highfields and will do the occasional class in Toowoomba.
