Amanda J.

My name is Amanda Jessop and I am a locally recognized Strength and Conditioning Specialist. I currently run my own independent personal training business, and specialize in functional fitness training, strength and conditioning, high intensity interval training, and sports performance training, and functional corrective exercise techniques. A couple of years ago I started studying how athletes train, and started following all the big strength and conditioning coaches, such as Todd Durkin, Mike Boyle, and Eric Cressey, etc. Since this research I have been able to refine my fitness habits, and overcome my own personal fitness plateaus. Because of this, I am now not only in the BEST SHAPE my life, but I have minimized my risk of injuries as well. This is where I was hooked. My affinity for training like an athlete was born. I adopted EVERY mental and physical aspect that an athlete utilizes and had a TOTAL fitness makeover. I am here to use my trials and tribulations to get you into the best shape of your life.

I train all ages- with emphasis in Sports Performance Training, Sports Conditioning, Interval Training, Bootcamp, Agility, Plyometrics, weight loss, strength training
