My name is Amelia Friend. Yes, Friend is my last name! I'm your friend in fitness and my motto is "People First, Bods Second" I truly care about the people that come to my classes. I always remember names and I seek to learn about each of my members. I have been teaching since I was in college and can't picture my life without group fitness. I have received many certifications over the years. My favorites these days are kickboxing, HIIT, and circuit training. I love these classes because I feel strong doing them and I want to help others feel the same. I live in the beautiful Carolinas with my husband and two daughters. We love to explore our side of the United States, and especially any beach!
