“You are very fortunate if Amy is your trainer. She is a consummate professional who delivers her knowledge to her clients in a clear and concise manner. Amy weaves into all her sessions a sense of spirituality. Our entire family is a client of Amy's. Our teenage daughters feel a deep sense of closeness with Amy. Amy has impacted all of our lives both physically, with her effective and novel FLEXXATION® technique, as well as spiritually. I don't know of many trainers who can be all that to so many people of different ages.”

"Al an I feel fortunate to have been able to work with Amy and her FLEXXATION® program. Our posture, balance, strength, and overall health have been drastically improved. Our friends and relatives have noticed a huge change in us because of Amy's FLEXXATION®(R). I use the breathing technique that I practice to provide a calm and relaxed feeling especially during severe, stressful moments.

I truly endorse this program to any one of all ages and fitness levels. There is something for everyone in FLEXXATION® that people can benefit from. I only wish that I began working with Amy and her FLEXXATION® earlier in my life: however as Amy has told me, it is NEVER too late, and it is true. I am in better shape mentally and physically now then 20 years ago! I am amazed at my gains in my strength and my heart, and I am able to relax myself and handle all of life's little and big stresses in a way that is healthier because of the breath that FLEXXATION® utilizes. What Al and I learn from FLEXXATION® is something we utilize in our life outside of the sessions as well."

“Being a trainer myself, I chose to train with Amy because I really felt there was a need in the fitness industry for Amy's unique training style. Amy's FLEXXATION® has opened my eyes to the concept of MINDFUL exercise in the weight room. I have come to experience in my sessions with Amy, and the sessions I have with my clients that it is not how many you do, but HOW MINDFULLY you ARE doing it. The FLEXXATION® technique has given me a pathway for my clients to experience a workout that is not based on reps and movement, but rather being mindful on flexing the muscles to be worked. Amy's FLEXXATION® has taught me that if all of the energy is not focused on the intended muscle, then other muscles will come into play that are not supposed to be targeted. This can actually lead to injury and misalignment. Now, when my clients come in to train, they are focused on the QUALITY, of each rep, not the quantity. They get a lot more out of their sessions with less workload, yet are working more intensely.

The breath has played an integral part. With traditional training, it is taught to "exhale on exertion." By doing this, I was actually exhaling all of my strength and energy out of my body and was unable to perform to my potential. Also, when I didn't make the breath a main focus, I would tend to "give up" quicker, before achieving my goal of muscular fatigue. Now, when I stay with the breathing pattern that is one of the foundations of FLEXXATION® , I am able to stay in the exercise and finish it to completion. I a now for the first time capable of doing myself and teaching to others how to truly achieve the goal of muscle isolation to fatigue all because of the utilization of the principles of FLEXXATION® .

In all of this, I now have learnt not only during my workouts, but in my life as well, to CALM DOWN. It is so important to live in a way that doesn't add stress, but reduces it from our lives. Stress is unavoidable...it is how well we are able to breath it out that matters.

FLEXXATION® has had a huge impact on my life, and my clients. Every trainer should educate themselves in FLEXXATION® to better able give their clients what they need. Without the FLEXXATION® principles, clients are not working to their full potential. The job of a trainer is to make sure that that does not happen.”

FLEXXATION® has done so much more for me than just totally transform my physique. I thought that it would be impossible for me to get any results after I hit menopause, but Amy's FLEXXATION®, to my benefit proved me wrong. Amy is truly a gifted teacher. Amy conveys the information in her cueing that makes it so easy for me to understand and to connect to what I am doing and feeling. I never feel frustrated because Amy guides me in home to 'GET IT." She gives the client what they need, and gives me exercises that I am able to accomplish leaving me feeling really good about myself, satisfied, worked, and complete. By using the breathing techniques that are part of the FLEXXATION® concept, my workouts have become struggle free. I feel as if I am not working hard, yet in reality I am working HARDER and more intensely. By FOCUSING on my breath with the specific muscle I want to work, I actually get a feeling of all the unnecessary muscles floating away. It is REALLY an incredible feeling. The fascinating part is that my physique has changed so drastically, and my FLEXXATION® workouts are so focused and demanding, yet I feel like I am calm and floaty during this time. The pain and stress floats away and all I feel are my muscles working and my breath doing a lot of the work FOR ME!!! Amy is the true meaning of what a trainer should be. She truly connects to what she is teaching me and melds that connection on a much deeper level with me, rather than just a physical one. Once I began working with Amy over three years ago, I never had a desire to try anything else. I am always challenged in a stress free, safe, nurturing way, and I look forward to my training sessions. I don't feel complete without Amy and her teachings of FLEXXATION®. It is hard to imagine that I existed fully without it. My life is transformed on a physical, mental, and spiritual level. Where else can you find that while exercising?
