Samantha Skinnider

Sam was born on July 25, 1999 in Long Island, New York but shortly moved to a small town in Florida called Vero Beach. Sam found the sport of gymnastics before she could walk, which paved the path and passion for living a healthy, active, lifestyle she owns today. After many injuries, she retired from the sport and found the local gym which introduced her to her love of movement outside of sport. Outside of fitness, Sam was a Cellist all throughout high school and into college playing in the Philharmonic Orchestra. 

Sam completed her Bachelor's of Science in Health Sciences and her Master's of Science in Exercise and Nutrition Sciences in Tampa, University of South Florida and University of Tampa, respectively. She found her campus recreation center, and from there flourished into a group fitness instructor, and later, a personal trainer. Sam has experience in a variety of formats including but not limited to, cycling, strength-based, and boxing. She also had the opportunity of participating in research under Dr. Bill Campbell where they focused on strength training and nutrition.

Sam brings a well-balanced approach to fitness and wellness, as well as incorporating science and research into her methods. Sam is fired up about helping people achieve their best self and educating them on the why in the process.
