Amanda Sette
Amanda has been a certified personal trainer since 2018 and takes a big sister approach to the way she trains/works with her students and clients. She meets all of her students where they're at and her classes are always a judgement-free zone. She encourages ‘failure’ in her classes because it means you pushed yourself to your limits and that's how we get stronger!
Amanda first got into fitness because she wanted to lose weight and held so much negativity towards her physical body. This ultimately wasn't sustainable and over time she began viewing fitness as a way to honor her body instead of punish it. When she went through a major trauma in 2019, she began leaning on fitness and exercise for mental health. It gave her a positive, healthy escape and allowed her to physically get stronger while working on rebuilding mental strength.
Join Amanda for this important practice every Tuesday at 5pm

Her classes are intended to feel like a dose of self-love in the midst of a busy life where a warm and welcoming atmosphere invites you to explore new poses and meditation techniques. When she’s not leading yoga practice, you can find her spending time with her husband, two sons, and dog, cuddling up with a good book, or teaching middle school; incorporating mindfulness activities whenever possible.
