Fit for Excellence LLC

Fantastic experience: My experience doing Fit Elite with Amy was phenomenal! Amy helped me make simple lifestyle changes and create habits that I know I can stick to moving forward. Her approach is extremely holistic - taking into account fitness, nutrition, and self positivity. I am so much stronger (mentally AND physically), and much more confident than before. Not only did I achieve the physical results I wanted, but my mindset and how I talk to myself is so much more positive. I will carry these lessons with me for the rest of my fit life. Truly a life changing experience that I cannot recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: I think at this time, when my subscription is due for renewal, I’d like to cancel. But please don’t think I don’t like your program… it is amazing!!! It’s just not the right fit for me and our retired lifestyle right now. But I learned so much and feel so good!!! Couldn’t have done it without your program. And I’m paying attention to non scale victories… a top that was too tight across my chest, now it fits with no issues. Clothes in general are fitting better. So thank you so very much!!!

Fantastic experience: Working with Amy Light Baez has been a truly life changing experience. Her coaching and Neurofit program helped me recognize how much my self talk was holding me back and gave me the tools to shift my mindset in a positive, empowering way. Her workouts are excellent and I love that spending 45 minutes a day for five days has increased my daily calories from 800 to 1400. And by doing this I’ve lost over 10 inches and 23 pounds in just over two and a half months. I am so grateful for Amy’s guidance, enthusiasm, meal planning and self talk coaching. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to strengthen their mindset and unlock their potential.

Fantastic experience: Working with Amy Light Baez over the past year has truly been life-changing. When I started this journey, I thought I was just signing up for a fitness program—but it’s been so much more than that. Amy doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. She really listens, genuinely cares, and meets you exactly where you are, every step of the way. I honestly can’t even put into words everything she’s helped me work through over the last year. This hasn’t just been about losing weight (although that happened too!)—it’s been a complete mindset shift. I’ve gained confidence, strength, and clarity I never thought possible. The fact that I’ve come off all the medications I was on is just one of the many unexpected gifts that came from this journey. Amy is the real deal—supportive, knowledgeable, and deeply committed to helping you become your best self. I’m so grateful to have found her

Fantastic experience: Working with Amy for personal coaching this past year has been a transformational experience. She makes fitness and nutrition so easy through her coaching, and I lost 30lbs within our first 6 months working together. What I wasn't anticipating was the powerful impact the positive self talk component of her program would have on my life. It has helped me through stress and challenging situations personally and at work, and I believe has been a large contributing factor to the success and growth I've experienced over the last year. Amy understands Mom life, and is so extremely knowledgeable about fitness, nutrition, positive habit formation and the things you need to do to be consistent, stay goal minded and achieve results. I am such a strong believer of Amy's coaching that we have had her complete two programs for my work. Her coaching is effective and she is a wonderful person l, could not recommend more.

Fantastic experience: Fit for Excellence is more than just an online fitness program — it’s a mindset shift. Amy’s approach goes far beyond workouts. Her program is about helping you strengthen not just your body, but your thoughts, your self-belief, and the way you talk to yourself. One of the things that truly sets Amy apart is her energy and encouragement. She’ll be your biggest hype manager until you become your own cheerleader — and I can say that from experience. Her coaching helped me grow into a stronger, more confident version of myself, inside and out. This fully online program is incredibly convenient and supportive. It includes everything from positive self-talk practices to physical training, all with a focus on becoming your best self. If you’re looking for a fitness program that actually helps you transform the way you see and support yourself, I highly recommend Fit for Excellence.

Fantastic experience: Amy is amazing! Her online workouts and positive self talk are the perfect way to get a good start to the day. They are challenging but always include modifications and she is so positive throughout the workout. Amy's program puts an end to the 'all or nothing's mentality and promotes consistency and grace. She is awesome! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Amy is great ! I did a combo of her virtual and gym and am definitely stronger ! She has given me the confidence ( and technique) to use weights at the gym . She explains a lot in her videos which is super helpful . I feel like her program is great for beginners and seasoned gym goers

Fantastic experience: Being a part of Coach Amy’s program with Fit for Excellence has been life changing. I have received SO MUCH more than I ever imagined. I joined to improve my physical fitness and have experienced incredible success. I didn’t know how much more would be transformed with Coach Amy. Her self talk program is a total game changer and it elevates the program to a whole new level! I am so grateful to be a member of the Fit for Excellence community and to receive such stellar, comprehensive training!

Fantastic experience: Fit For Excellence is different than most training programs, in that not only do you get fit & strong physically. But Amy gets you mentally strong by learning positive self talk, reframing negative patterns in our minds. All the workouts are online to access from home or do from your phone at gym, while you’re traveling etc. For me Amy has been a huge impact on my sobriety from alcohol too! Learning to live healthy with her 6-FIT habits caused me to realize “alcohol,” was in no way making my body or mind feel good. Positive self talk truly teaches you to love yourself so much. Amy has nutrition guides & an awesome accountability community of other members going through same journey into our overall wellness.

Fantastic experience: The virtual training is clear and she keeps you pumped up. I did them in San Diego for months. The in gym experience is great community supported by positive self talk. Thank you body!

Fantastic experience: Lost and discouraged in my quest to lose weight, my husband suggested I reach out to Amy at Fit for excellence for nutrition coaching. What I found was a whole life transformation. Not only did I get the nutrition help I was looking for, I learned how to talk to myself, how to believe in myself and do functional movements using weights that help me get stronger as I age. I have never been as healthy and fit as I am today and I owe it all to Amy for helping me to see how to use what I already had inside me to live my best fit life ever. I recommend her online program. It’s not a get fit quick program, it’s a enjoy the journey, process over perfection, slow and steady wins the race, believing in yourself, being thankful for your body kind of program. She says she believes in us, and she truly does and because she does, you’ll believe in yourself.

Fantastic experience: Amy has been such a big inspiration and positive influence in my life. I started this year at 250 lbs. I couldn’t believe it. I weighed myself today and I weigh 194lbs. To Amy, and fit team - Your positive social media platform and everything you teach, and share with the world got me to this point, and I cannot thank you, or express enough gratitude to you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Fantastic experience: On my birthday my daughter asked me if I was worried about getting older and I said “Nope, I like getting older because so far every year I’ve gotten stronger and smarter and had more adventures.” This week I CRUSHED my deadlifting goal by lifting 130lbs for a full 7 reps- three weeks into my 42nd year and this is already my most fit year!! I’ve been working out with Amy online and in the gym with Alis and Rachel and it has brought the light back to my body. Couldn’t be more grateful and I’m excited for the year to come!!

Fantastic experience: I joined Fit For Excellence in 2021. I had never worked out consistently. I would join gyms and various classes but never lasted long due not knowing what I was doing, feeling out of place or just bored. I started in the women’s small group gym classes 3 days a week. I was quickly hooked with all of the positivity and kindness I was shown. Everyone was so welcoming! I was able to get that small group and 1:1 support I needed. After about a year of in-gym classes, my work schedule changed so I moved to virtual online training and it was just what I needed. I could workout with Amy anytime that was convenient for me! Not only did I have access to all of her workouts, I had access to other support tools such as nutrition advice, positive self-talk and spiritual support. My current consistency of working out and eating to fuel my body is no doubt much inspired by all of the above. As a bonus, I’ve been able to help support a small woman-owned business. I will be forever grateful to Amy and her mission!

Fantastic experience: I’m so grateful for Amy and her coaching. I have more energy than I have had in years. I don’t have a energy slump every afternoon. My mind is clearer and I am thinking more positively. I needed encouragement and accountability and I have had that. I am not doing anything crazy but I am learning to be consistent in what I do. I have challenges but I am 100% given tools to work through them!!! It feels so good to have someone cheering me on.

Fantastic experience: An amazing gym! Amy and her trainers approach to fitness and coaching has help not only helping the community achieve fitness goals, but also find balance and fulfillment in all aspects of life. Incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and motivating. I highly recommend to anyone looking to transform their body and mindset.

Fantastic experience: I have enjoyed everyday that I have been working out with Amy at Fit for Excellence! I have seen amazing results I would recommend this place to anyone

Fantastic experience: The best place to work out! I love working out in the small group setting. All the trainers are so friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to help you achieve your goals.

Fantastic experience: Amy and her team are awesome and very professional. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Fantastic experience: I feel so welcomed by all of the participants. Very down to earth people. Coaches are focused on lots of options for modifications for someone just starting a routine.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely LOVE this gym & little community! Truly the best start to my day! The energy is always positive, the music is so fun, the workouts are BOMB. The workouts are challenging but you can really modify it to fit your needs. Circuits are super fun too! There are always fun challenges which I love, they can really push you to meet goals. Everyone made me feel so welcome from the beginning. Alis & Rachel are absolutely incredible & create such a positive, motivating & encouraging experience. Could not recommend Fit For Exellence more

Fantastic experience: I have worked out with Amy on and off for years. She is wonderful and lives what she teaches everyday! Amy always helps me stay on track and helps keep my excuses from overcoming my goals

Fantastic experience: Amy Light Baez and Fit for Excellence community are truly incredible. I have never felt more encouragement, spiritual and emotional support in a group/community. The variety of workouts and the personal connections are life transforming.

Fantastic experience: Amy does an amazing job! I have gotten physically stronger as well as mentally with her coaching. She is a light and maintains a great outlook on fitness and life.

Fantastic experience: Amy is fantastic! She genuinely cares for her clients and is extremely positive and supportive. She has excellent workouts that seems to go by quickly, this has been an excellent experience! I’m already noticing the difference and I’ve only been going for a month!

Fantastic experience: 8 weeks ago I started this amazing journey and I could not make it through most sets with ZERO weights. 8 weeks later, I rocked it with ankle weights and now 15lb weights, and a waist trainer! I am sharing because I am proud! We all start from day 1 and to see how much I can do now is amazing! I am excited for what the next 8 weeks look like! Be proud of yourself! Share your accomplishments! It feels awesome! Thank you body! And thank you Amy!

Fantastic experience: I worked out with a trainer at the vet gym today and couldn’t believe how strong I was! Everyone was super impressed ! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Amy, Alis & Rachel are highly motivating, personable, and all amazing! It’s so awesome to feel this way. I love working out. I never said that before fit! Once you get the mindset right, just because one day isn’t perfect we can start over again tomorrow! Such an amazing way to think! I used to think the opposite. Thanks for fit! You really did create a beautiful place for us ladies to feel comfortable together and get strong Each and every day at group training is a little bit different. I've been consistently coming to fit for over 4 years! It’s also nice when you cannot attend the gym for anything, we have the option to workout from home with Amy’s live workouts. Watch anytime from anywhere! She makes working out and getting fit, fun and easy to commit to. She pushes me to do things I never even thought were possible. I've discovered strength and drive I didn't even know I had. If you're looking for some badass trainers, look no further!

Fantastic experience: Fit for Excellence is amazing! Amy has helped my whole family with her in person training and online classes. I would recommend her to anyone at any fitness level. She’s the best and we are forever grateful. Thank You Amy!

Fantastic experience: Hi Amy You have been so supportive in my journey, especially when I’ve been dealing with new heart issues. You encouraged me to keep going in a safe manner and modified my workout to meet my doctor’s criteria. I learned that even little changes can make a big difference in my body and that I can be brave in more ways then I thought I could. Your encouragement and the encouragement of my team helped lift me up when I was struggling and made so much positive impact. I appreciate you too!! So much love and respect!!

Fantastic experience: Amy is life changing! She is so much more than a trainer. I've been lucky enough to train with her for over 9 years. In that time she's been been my trainer, my goal setter, my nutrition coach, positive self talk guide, confidant and friend. I started in a small early morning group class and then moved to virtual training years later as she adjusted during covid-- (which I know was a challenge but she somehow made it look effortless). She has infectious energy and truly cares about each person...the whole person! Mind, body, spirit. She will absolutely change your life. More than just working out, she provides a community! She brings light to everyone she knows and everything she does. ❤️

Fantastic experience: I have been working out with Amy at Fit for Excellence for over 5 years now and cannot recommend her more!! She is sooooo good! Truly excellent workouts, a great balance of different muscles being worked all week, mental game support like NO other trainer out there, accessible, reliable, kind & positive every day. The discipline and consistency she and her community foster are incredibly helpful and play over into all aspects of my life. Individual coaching is on point, in person workouts are fun and challenging, online workouts are balanced and fit so well into my busy life. Serious gem with Amy!!

Fantastic experience: Today is my one year Fitaversary with Amy! I have done so many workouts, so many plans, all of the things and never got the results I have with Amy! It’s not just workouts, it’s the motivation, the support, guidance. With Fit for Excellence we workout, work on our nutrition, drink our water, get our steps in, and our sleep and work on self talk! All of these things and being consistent is what it’s about! What Amy offers is unmatched

Fantastic experience: The last few months working with Amy and the Fit family truly has been life changing for me mentally and physically. I know that I will continue on this path and what I’ve taken away from this experience with you and that makes me feel great. I will know to put my health and wellness first to be a great mom and wife. And to be a better me. Thank you so much!!!

Fantastic experience: I have been working out at Fit for 4 months now and feel great. The workouts are fun and challenging and the energy among the women is very positive and motivating. I have gained a lot of strength, and was even able to (easily) complete a 5k today even though I didn’t train, because of the work I’ve put in at Amy’s gym. I would recommend this gym to any women looking to get fit and have a great time!

Fantastic experience: Amy is so amazing to work with! Her positivity, passion, encouragement, and energy get me excited to workout with her! I love the variety of exercises she incorporates, her emphasis on good form, and her joy in every workout! She’s an inspiring coach and a genuinely wonderful human!

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Amy and her team at FIT virtually on custom nutrition and workouts the past year. I’m so thankful for this resource, stability and community that she has established. Amy is a huge inspiration and offers weekly check ins with her membership that helps you stay accountable to your fitness and nutritional goals and needs. You have saved my life Amy! Thank you for creating this platform for us to have a supportive community while we all are taking this fitness journey! He motto is “Thank you body” and my body and mind say Thank you Amy!

Negative experience: I really liked this gym for a few reasons: it was working well scale-wise, it was helpful to have set workouts, and it was nice to have someone to keep me accountable. Unfortunately, I have long term injuries that I expressed great concern over and I do not feel Amy respected my boundaries and I ended up hurting myself on an exercise I had already expressed I was not comfortable doing with my injuries- I didn’t feel that Amy believed me. I have now been in and out of physical therapy for a few years for that injury and until I worked out here I had almost healed it. I was very disappointed with my ending at this gym and I wish I had known to go to a physical therapist and or a medical fitness coach at the time, especially since the prices I’ve found at these facilities have been comparable!

Fantastic experience: My number one thing about this program is that for the last year of my membership I have been able to access this program 100% online from anywhere. The ability to have flexibility in workout times, and where I can get it done has made it so I have rarely missed a day of working out. How awesome is that?! I also love that Amy talks us through every workout, with modifications for everything, so no matter your fitness level you can see results. AND the results...that's always the best part right?! My body, and mind has been transformed and I couldn't be happier!!! So many wonderful things to say about my experience at FIT and the incredible accountability community!!

Fantastic experience: If you want lasting results and healing the whole you… then this is the place to be. Finally living in my happy place. 40lbs down with lots more to go but I am learning how to truly love me ❤️

Fantastic experience: Amy hypes you up and gets you going! Couldn't ask for a better trainer!

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Amy for almost 3 years now and I can’t even begin to describe how AMAZING she is. I initially went to her for aesthetic reasons - to get in better shape and lose body fat. In the process I have transformed not only my body but more importantly my mind. I learned to love and appreciate my body for what it CAN do. I consider our weekly sessions therapy! She has helped me in so many ways. I have a better outlook on my life, genuinely more grateful for all that my body can do, and as a result my body is thanking me! Her nutrition advice and daily online workouts have been a game changing, especially during this hard season of Covid. The online community she has built is so supportive and uplifting. I can’t recommend her enough!

Fantastic experience: I have been working out with Amy since June and feeling so so so so good about it! I have been a part of the online workouts and online nutrition program and I’m so thankful I found her and her gym! I’ve been through a few different programs over the past couple of years, and enjoyed them, learned a lot and got in better shape BUT there is something different about her and her approach to it all. She addresses the whole body, walks us through it all, talks to us like real people, educates us, I just love it! AND how supportive she is, always checking in, leaving comments in our online groups, liking our posts, these things matter. It’s all so encouraging! I don’t know how she keeps up with it all but I imagine it’s because she loves what she does and it shows! I’m thankful she has chosen to follow the calling put on her heart ❤️

Fantastic experience: Amy treats each client as a whole person, not a project to be "fixed". I was so impressed with her knowledge, energy and commitment to my goals. I often felt like Amy's only client. Amy never judged or looked down on my struggles, but offered friendship and resources to help. I highly recommend Fit for Excellence!

Fantastic experience: I do streaming daily workouts with Amy at Fit for Excellence. Really my intention was to reset my schedule to wake up early and do my workout. But what I got was so much more. I never thought I'd like streaming workouts where the trainer never even sees you but Amy does an amazing job with her coaching cues and her modification. She knows her clients and sets us up for sucess. Her energy and attitute are infectious and she goes above and beyond to help motivate you and encourange you work hard for the goals you set. Although I'll bet being in the gym with her is amazing, streaming her workouts have been a game changer for me. Thank you so much Amy and Fit for Excellence!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Amy off and on since 2014, and I have seen this gym continuously evolve and grow. Fit For Excellence is always thinking of new things, which means that even after 6 years, I'm still hooked. The times in my life when I need help with motivation, Amy is there to guide me to find it in myself to try harder, be better, and have fun loving my body in the process. Fit For Excellence gets me up mountains, gives me the energy to say yes to new experiences that might have alluded me in less physical health, and always shows me that I'm not alone. When Covid hit, I needed something healthy to focus on and Amy made an incredible pivot to online options for at-home training. It has been a vital part of my sanity routine, and the flexible use of online daily videos has enabled me to adapt it to my ever-changing routine. Additionally, the strategy of monthly focus/intentions has really kept things fresh and if you're like me and need short term challenges to keep long term goals, Fit For Excellence is perfect.

Fantastic experience: Amy has been life changing! Thanks to her positivity, encouragement, and coaching, I'm not only physically stronger and more fit, but my mindset is healthier too. I found Fit for Excellence almost three years ago. I was pretty nervous about walking into a gym because I was dealing with pain from some old car wreck injuries, and I didn't want to do anything to aggravate my body. But, I also knew I needed to make a change. From the get go, Amy was very mindful of my old injuries and extremely knowledgeable about modifications, etc. She would always watch my form, regularly check in during exercises, and make sure we were listening to my body. After a short time of training with Amy, I became stronger, my pain basically went away, and I soon found myself strong enough (and confident enough!) to do activities - like running - that I hadn't been able to do for years. After moving out of state, I joined Amy's online group workouts. She posts a new 45-minute workout each weekday and since they're recorded, I can always make time for them in my schedule. I'm so grateful that I can still be part of the Fit for Excellence crew from afar!

Fantastic experience: Amy Light Ramage is an incredibly talented and gifted trainer/coach. Her gym is located in Oregon City and I have been a member there for two and a half years. I am 63 years old and she was able to take me from out of shape and over weight to placing in Masters categories of Body Building competitions. I have never felt better or looked better since my 20’s. When covid 19 hit she quickly converted to online trainings and workouts and they are the best! I have been able to follow her from my dining room makeshift gym and though I gained a few pounds from stress eating (because you can’t out exercise a bad diet) I stayed in top physical fitness from her online daily workouts and am now back on track! Whether you are older, younger, pregnant...Give Amy and “Fit for Excellence” a try. You won’t be sorry!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Amy for over 4 years! I have been in my best shape of my whole life with her. Last year I was diagnosed with breast cancer and I really think the shape I was in helped me beat cancer. More importantly Amy cares about you as a person. She was one of the first people asking what she could do to help me. You want Amy in your corner she is so positive and will always help you!!

Fantastic experience: Amy is a great coach! Super supportive and knowledgeable for all body types and needs.

Fantastic experience: I have been working out with Amy for over a year. Her positive attitude and support has allowed me to stick to a consistent routine, making me stronger and healthier. I highly recommend her Fit for Excellence gym in Oregon City.

Fantastic experience: I’ve known Amy for years, and she truly is the best at what she does. I have experienced her expertise in both training and nutrition and she is beyond dedicated, knowledgeable, and delivers results!

Fantastic experience: I have only worked with Amy for 3 months but in that 3 months I have began the journey of overcoming my food addiction as well as feeling strong and like myself!! Amy is non judge mental and always smiling. I could not even do a sit up or push up when I first began with Amy and now I can easily do sit ups, push ups on my toes AND am enjoying burpees! I look forward to continuing to work with Amy and becoming stronger and the best version of myself!

Fantastic experience: Best decision you’ll ever make! I’ve been on many fitness plans. I can’t believe how accessible, fun, challenging and effective Amy makes fitness. You will love it!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Amy’s gym for over four years. I stay a member because she is an excellent trainer and dedicated to her profession. Amy will help you improve your strength and cardiovascular fitness in a supportive gym environment. I am lucky to have found Amy and Fit for Excellence!

Fantastic experience: I started online training with Amy in the middle of April and had such a great experience. I wanted to slim down for my upcoming wedding and feel good in my dress. Amy customized a meal plan for me and provided online videos 5x a week to workout to (it was awesome since gyms were closed anyways). Amy would check in throughout the week, and we would have regular weekly check ins to see how my progress was going (measurements and pictures). My body did amazing with the meal plan provided. I was gradually losing weight, leaning out, and had more energy. In my head I had a “plateau weight” that I thought wasn’t possible to get under. Well Amy proved me wrong! She is an amazing trainer and was great to work with!

Fantastic experience: I am usually the only guy in the classes I attend. I only felt uncomfortable the first time I worked out several years ago due to my own ego. I love this gym and the people who work out here. Amy not only guides my fitness, she checks on food, sleep, pain (back is bad), etc. I feel so much better after I stay consistent (3+ days a week) with Amy. My wife and I also do individual training with Amy. I cannot rave enough about my experiences here. I've worked out other places, but being self-employed, I'd be on my phone and run over the top of the trainer when he tried to keep me on task. Amy told me in the beginning that I would have to do burpees for being on my phone. It cured me.

Fantastic experience: Great trainer! One thing I have learned through my own personal journey with fitness is that consistency pays off. Amy challenges your body daily, her workouts are never boring, she keeps fitness fun! Her challenges & daily accountability help me stay on track.

Fantastic experience: I joined Amy’s online training group a couple of months back. I have always been a runner, but my body always stayed the same. I wanted to tone my body and so I reached out to Amy. I love the workouts. I can do them anytime. I have rarely missed a workout because I look forward to them. They are fantastic and I can see a difference already. Not only is my body changing, my overall health and mental health is changing. She teaches life skills that are so important!! I could go on and on about how this class has changed my life in a matter of weeks!!

Fantastic experience: Amy is the most awesome, positive, authentic, motivator and trainer I have ever met. She is the real deal and will teach you how to take care of yourself so that you can grow stronger and live better in all areas of your life.

Fantastic experience: Amy is one of the best trainers I’ve ever had. She’s everything you need to excel in any fitness goal you have- she’s knowledgeable, kind, passionate, creative, strong; she never gives up. She balances being a mom to four wonderful kids and runs a full time business. She’s amazing. Her gym is clean, and she offers individual as well as group trainings. Any fitness level welcome from newcomer to fitness competitor. Amy’s the best.

Fantastic experience: Amy isn’t just a trainer... she’s a Life changer... she has all the attributes that one would need to succeed in finding a healthily life style... she’s not about quick fixes... she’s about changing your mind set to believe that you have the strength inside of YOU to do the work! A woman full of faith... she believes in every client she has... she builds lasting friendships and loves everyone she meets!

Fantastic experience: Amy at Fit For Excellence has changed my life! Her workouts are phenomenal, she created an amazing nutrition plan for me, and checked in with me every step of the way! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my health!

Fantastic experience: If you believe in love at first sight, then you have to believe that I knew the moment I met Amy, my life would change. I was an active kid. I swam a lot and spent most of my youth taking care of my horses and working to support them. I have a disabled sister that I help to take care of, and after high school, I got married and had kids. I am a people pleaser and have had trouble setting good boundaries, and difficulty saying no to people who need my help. It is much easier to help others than to help myself. I have spent most of my life taking care of, and putting others first. Unfortunately the neglect of myself allowed physical and emotional stress to set in. I ended up getting divorced after 22 years of marriage, my kids grew up and moved out. When my life should have been getting easier, it got harder, I was alone and not taking care of myself. I had resigned myself to living the second half of my life in a state of mediocrity and I was not happy with my physical self. I have lost about 45 pounds over the past 7 years, but never seemed to feel better about myself. I still did not like what I saw in the mirror. I still felt depressed, fat and lazy. I got to a point where nothing I did made any difference and I had all but given up. But then something amazing happened. I was driving and on the corner of 7th & Monroe I saw the sandwich board for Fit for Excellence. I had driven by it many times, but this day I was compelled to stop and find out what this was about. After talking to Amy for just a minute, I knew I wanted to try again. On my first morning, trying to get myself out of bed at 4:30 was impossible, I thought it was just not going to happen today but maybe tomorrow. I started to give up before I even got going … and then Amy texted me … somehow I think she knew I needed someone to kick me in the behind a little bit. If Amy had not texted me at 4:43am, I would have most likely gone back to sleep and the self-loathing would have kept me from moving forward. I didn't go back to sleep that morning because I felt like someone, someone I didn't even know, cared about me and my health, I felt accountable for the first time in my life for taking care of myself first. Her boutique gym is the first one I have ever felt really comfortable and totally safe in. It has all the of the equipment necessary without being judgey or stuffy. Everyone there is on their own path to health and wellness. This gym is the real deal!! I now dedicate the first hour of my day to just ME!! It is amazing what a little positive self-care and self-talk can do for a person's confidence! That one little text from Amy has set me on a course of positive recovery, self-discovery and I am so very thankful for her! I have never worked with someone like Amy. Her enthusiasm for health is infectious lol, she is just so darn cute, nice and extremely knowledgeable. She walks the walk, and provides a good example for all women, including her daughters. I have so much respect for her as a woman, mother, trainer and entrepreneur. Her methodology and workouts are just what I need, and I most highly recommend Amy and Fit for Excellence. I will be 59 years old in January, and I feel better than I have in many, many years. I am actually looking forward to my 40th High School reunion next summer!! Amy inspires me to be a better me, and I know she is doing the same for everyone at her gym!

Fantastic experience: Wow! I loved this workout - super efficient and intense - and the group vibe is awesome. I’m excited to drop in for a class when I’m next in Oregon

Fantastic experience: No longer feel the need to search for something better. Amy meets all my needs and then some. I've had many personal trainers but none delivered the personalization, strong results, and passion as she! Must try this private gym to understand what words can't express.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough about how Amy and Fit for Excellence was exactly what I was looking for and needed. I had tried countless gyms and nutrition pathways and struggled to get to the level of fitness and health I was looking for...until now! Huge gratitude!

Fantastic experience: Amy is always so inspiring and motivational! Even when you feel like you’re failing at your nutrition and fitness, she’s right there saying it’s okay - you can do this - try again - do better today. For the first time in my life I’ve been working out on a somewhat regular basis for almost two years now because of her encouragement.

Fantastic experience: Amy doesn’t beat around the bush, she will tell you exactly what you need to do to reach your individual goals! If you listen to her, you’ll be successful. She will give you a great work out and make you feel very welcome no matter what your fitness level is.

Fantastic experience: I was in search of a trainer back in March and by word of mouth found Amy.. Very fun, challenging, and professional! Felt stronger and dropped weight after the first two weeks! Amy helped me with my diet and keeps me accountable with regular exercise. I Recommended her to all my friends. She also does group training to help give that extra support.. Lucky to have found her!

Fantastic experience: A fantastic place to get your sweat on with positive encouragement. Amy is able to help you set goals that are realistic and a life plan to make the changes stick.

Fantastic experience: I started at this gym in May 2014 when I had a 6-month-old. I quickly lost weight and then decided to take it to the next step and compete with Amy's coaching. It was a wonderful experience! Amy is motivating, compassionate, passionate, and always always always smiling and ready for the day. Everyone gets the same attention from her, no matter where you are in your fitness journey. And she knows all the names of the spouses, partners, kids, pets, etc. It's a true family that you miss when you have to leave for whatever reason! Give her a try if you have not - you will not regret it!!

Fantastic experience: Amy is such an incredible trainer. She is encouraging, knowledgeable, and positive. She pushes you to do your best. I always feel beyond accomplished after training with Amy!

Fantastic experience: I have been working out at Fit for a little over a month now and can honestly say it’s starting to feel like home. I’m proud to be part of such an exceptional group of people. Personally I have been a runner for about 3 years and needed the help to get to my speed goals and increase my fitness goal. But Recently during a long run I injured my knee. I was devastated, right away Amy gave me the confidence I needed to refocus. Trusting that with her support I would get to even better shape. My doctor even asked me to pass a message of appreciation to Amy, for the specific exercises she has me doing to strengthen the areas needed to Improve recovery. He said he can work more effectively focusing his attention on moving forward knowing she’s working on strengthening and improving recovery. I’m going to get him to come workout with us. We’ll see... I don’t normally write reviews but in a situation where I felt alone and sacred. I was really worried about my over all healthy and mental well being. I have worked so hard to get to a healthy place, Its a great feeling knowing I am a part of this team. Thank you Amy for having my back when I’ve really needed it!! I look forward to working together for a long time.
