Amanda Petersen

Hi my name is Amanda Petersen. I go by Mandy. Health and Fitness has been a huge passion in my life in the past 5 years. 5 years ago I woke up one day a decided I wanted to change my life and my physical appearance. I was 65 pounds overweight and unhappy with myself. That day I decided I would make a change, not just temporary, but for a lifetime, and that is when I started to exercise. 

I started off with home gym equipment, and gradually moved up to joining a gym, group fitness classes with Orange Theory and a kick boxing gym. These physical activities helped me to lose 65 pounds, build strength and a confidence I had never experienced before. Feeling so happy and healthy and more full of life and energy than ever before, I realized the fitness community was going to be a huge part of my life from here on out. The many people I had met through fitness at the various gyms are some of the most supportive and amazing people that I am grateful to call lifelong friends. 

Fitness in all aspect, whether it be weight lifting, kick boxing, Cross Fit, Yoga, Zumba and Strong 30, has become my favorite hobby, and passion in life that I am so lucky to share with others, to show them how fun exercise can be!
