Hello there!
Amy Jo Summy, CPT, CES, PES
With 22 years of experience in health and wellness, I have logged thousands of hours working with a vast population of experience levels and diverse fitness goals - from novice individuals to competitive athletes, busy professionals to stay-at-home moms/dads, elementary grade children to those in their golden years, and from those who want to alter their physique to those with debilitating diseases with a desire to walk again - each individual requires a unique, progressive, and innovative approach to their program design.
I began my fitness career in 2001 while attending college for a business degree and continued learning more about the evolving health and wellness industry by acquiring more knowledge and credentials each year. 2012, I opened my studio in Northern California as a provider of personal training, boot camps, and youth sports conditioning. Shortly thereafter with membership growth came the development of services expanding into nutrition, bodybuilding/competition prep, corporate wellness solutions, and online /remote coaching.
In 2020, after a devastating miscarriage, I decided to focus my energy into something positive and continue helping others (and myself) in another way and went back to school to earn my Bachelors of Science in Nursing degree. In 2021, I shifted my energy and grief into the goal of competing in the sport of bodybuilding as a figure competitor. 1.5 years later, I was on cloud 9 earning not one, but two procards and the overall title at the NPC Teen, Collegiate, and Masters National Championships and am currently an IFBB Figure Pro athlete with the International Fitness and Bodybuilding Federation.
​
My fitness tenet is that to be the healthiest version of yourself, one must have realistic expectations and commit to a program that you LOVE. Do activities that challenge you, but also empower you and make you feel accomplished.
