Who is Amanda? What is "be by barnes"?

Hi! I'm Amanda!

I grew up a relatively healthy kid. I was involved in organized sports and other physical activities. Then I went to college... It didn't take me much longer than my freshman year to recognize that being on my own with a college meal plan that didn't have the healthiest options lead me into a bad place. Things needed to change. Over my summer break, I got back in shape by walking my neighborhood and doing bodyweight workouts at home. When I returned to college after break, I had a renewed sense of self which included teaching free aerobics classes in my dorm lobby. This began my journey to become a trainer and coach.

Over the years, I've acquired professional certifications in the specific areas of orthopedic exercise, pregnancy and postnatal exercise, functional female training, golf-specific exercise, cancer exercise, Parkinson's exercise and fitness for seniors.

As I have aged, my body has changed. Because of this, I have spent a lot of time learning about how the aging process changes the way women (specifically) need to care for our bodies. Nutrition, exercise, rest, recovery... all need a whole new game plan.

What is "be by barnes"?

Client Testimonials

Amanda,

Thank you for the incredible impact you've had on my life over the past almost decade that we've been working together. Your encouragement and support have been invaluable to me.

When I first started training with you, I was intimidated by the gym and had no real understanding of how to use the equipment, much less achieve my fitness goals. But you patiently listened to my concerns, assessed my abilities, and designed a program that was tailored specifically to my needs. You have pushed me beyond my comfort zone, helping me to break through mental and physical barriers and achieve things that I never thought possible.

What sets you apart from other trainers is your ability to inspire and motivate your clients beyond just the physical aspect of training. You create a supportive and empowering environment that enables people to tap into their full potential, not just in the gym, but in all aspects of life.

Your impact on my life extends far beyond the gym. You have become a trusted confidante and friend, always there to offer support, advice, and encouragement when I need it most. Your positive energy and unwavering commitment to my health and well-being have helped me to become the best version of myself. And quite honestly, I don't know what I would have done over the past few years without you - shifting from in person workouts to virtual workouts. You continued to show up no matter what - when I needed you most. ...
