Meet Amanda Bayliss, MS
I love sharing my passion for fitness and health
I’m an integrative fitness coach. That means my job is to help my clients take charge of their physical fitness and learn the tools of well-being so that they can get healthy and in touch with their inner strength. I work with both the general population and clients who are going through or recovering from cancer treatment.
My drive to do this work comes from both the power I feel as I develop my body and mind through running and working out, and the experience of helping my husband Trevor go through cancer. I have seen the transformative effect that exercising and developing healthy habits can have on anyone, and I love to watch my clients go through that process themselves.
Really, I just love people! I love the struggles that come with life, hearing people’s stories, meeting them where they are and helping them become who they want to be or go where they want their life to take them. I have coached everyone from NCAA champions and Olympic hopefuls to people in the midst of chemotherapy and I am constantly inspired by the confidence and joy I see in each as they, too, get to know their inner athlete.
“My clients tell me that they love feeling good, looking good, and feeling strong. They get to experience the rush of endorphins, a sense of accomplishment, and the satisfaction of having routine in their lives. They also love the extra motivation to expand their horizons and do something new.”
