Amanda lived in several different states growing up, but considers Lexington, Kentucky her home. During middle and high school she competed in gymnastics, basketball, track, and soccer. Her competitive spirit and love for sports won her a soccer scholarship to Lee University in Cleveland, TN. Here, she received her bachelors’ degree in Communications with an emphasis in Advertising. After graduating, Amanda moved into the assistant coach’s role on the Lee University Women’s Soccer team. She helped coach her team to two consecutive National Championships. While coaching at Lee, she continued her education and received a masters’ degree in Mental Health Counseling. Amanda loves working with women, encouraging them to embrace self-confidence, healthy living, and a positive body image. She enjoys all types of exercise; especially what the southeast has to offer, particularly mountain biking and rock climbing. Amanda was introduced to the Pure Barre technique in Birmingham, AL and immediately was hooked. “The technique is one of a kind! I love how it is conducive to all ages and body types.” She is excited to combine her passion for empowering women and her love for exercise. She cannot wait to share Pure Barre with Chattanooga.
