Amy Banfer

A 2008 pirate grad from East Carolina University, I have been the Fitness Specialist at Prestonwood Country Club since January 2009. I plan wellness events, develop incentive programs, perform fitness evaluations, lead group exercise classes, and design fitness programs for members. I am a certified group exercise and kickboxing instructor (AFAA), as well as a certified personal trainer (NSCA). I enjoy working with individuals as well as groups and believe that personal fitness and health influence us throughout our lifetime. Therefore, I am dedicated to helping people set and achieve realistic goals by providing motivation, knowledge, and skills. I have an Exercise and Sports Science degree and have worked in a variety of fitness facilities. Before coming to Prestonwood I worked at America’s premier weight loss resort and spa, Hilton Head Health, voted Top 10 Best for Weight Loss in 2008. I have experience working with a wide range of populations with a passion toward guiding individuals toward fulfilling their fitness goals and promoting the importance of overall health and wellness for mind and body. I am an outdoor enthusiast that has gained a fondness for all the greenways NC encompasses. My current fitness goal is to complete my first Triathlon in April 2010. On the weekends you will find me either volunteering or participating in charitable fitness events.
